What we’re building next

Bank transfer (ACH) payments

Lower-cost payment option once live — the math is already built, just not enabled yet.

Catastrophic coverage through a licensed insurer

Real third-party insurance for serious injury, fire, and major property loss — the risk-class and opt-out mechanism is built, but no licensed carrier is providing coverage yet. Carry your own coverage for high-risk work in the meantime.

Historical activity / performance dashboards

Richer views of a provider's own completed-job history and trends over time.

A mobile app

Native mobile access instead of the mobile web experience.

Live GPS tracking for in-progress jobs

Real-time location sharing while a job is underway, similar to other gig-economy apps.

A more streamlined, one-stop interaction flow

Closer to the polish of established gig-economy apps, without adopting their extraction model.

Pay for a job using your own earnings on The Town Works

Let a member who's also earned money as a provider apply that balance toward hiring someone else, potentially avoiding a new card-processing fee.

Matchmaking and scheduling support

Help buyers and providers find each other and coordinate timing — building on the provider directory and search already in place.

Real card payments via Stripe Connect

Debit/credit payments, real payouts to providers, test mode today.

Community reserve for small claims

Opt-in ~1% contribution funding locally governed assistance with small losses and disputes.

In-app notifications

System notifications for the moments that matter — someone accepts your proposal, sends you one directly, or a payment goes through.

Direct messaging between participants

Real back-and-forth conversation inside a work agreement, instead of coordinating over text or a neighborhood-group thread.
