I imagine it would be a matching engine that projects can apply to their own specific needs. Or are the brains of DoorDash and Uber already open source, like how most of the WWW runs on FOSS?

    That’s not the only thing it helps with. But you mentioned marketing, and that too is really necessary to build out a network of drivers.

    Capital is also necessary to take the hit when there’s a dispute. If you can’t do that, people will have way less incentive to use your platform. It doesn’t matter if it’s open source at that point, people won’t care when they’re losing money.

    I think the solution is a worker owned alternative, not just open source.
