As two students looking for holiday jobs, we were struck by how difficult it was to find work. Traditional jobs were overly competitive, inflexible and often paid below what we felt was deserved. Odd jobs, while more up our street, were few and far between. It would take two times the time to find these jobs compared to how long we'd actually be working. To our surprise, when we'd talk to the people we were helping, they'd say a similar thing. They didn't know how to find people to help them or how to look.

This problem sparked the creation of CHOR. We knew there was a need for a single platform that connected all the people who needed help with the thousands of people keen to paid to give such help. In September of 2023, we began drawing up plans and creating the first designs of what's now the CHOR app.  

The process of turning these designs into a reality turned out to be much more argues than we anticipated however. With no prior experience, it took us over 10 months of trial and error to come up with an idea we were finally happy with. But our works not done yet! We're now faced with the challenge of bringing CHOR to the masses, so they too can benefit from our platform. We also want to continue to improve CHOR and take it to the web.

Our story's just beginning and we'd love for you to follow along.
