requestii: geolocation-based freelancing from Shinyanga, Tanzania

Hi everyone, I'm Maregesi Nyamajeje, founder and CEO of requestii. I'm building it from Shinyanga, Tanzania. requestii is a geolocation-based freelancing app, designed to connect people who need work done with freelancers nearby. I'm a self-taught software engineer and strategist, so I'm working on both the product and the business side.

For building, I rely on ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot. My public GitHub is still small, with one repository (NHFC), but most of my time now goes into requestii. I'm early, so I'd rather learn from people who have been further along than guess at what works.

What I'd love most is an introduction to someone who has built a two-sided marketplace, especially one that matches people by location. If you've been there, I'd also welcome honest feedback on what I'm building.
