It all started with a simple, frustrating thought: "Who can actually help me with this?"
A few months ago, when I needed help with a small but annoying task clearing out the garden after a summer storm and I felt stuck. I didn't want to bother my neighbors or my friends again, and hiring a big, formal company felt like overkill. I just wished there was a simple way to find a friendly, trusted person from my own community to lend a hand for an hour or two.
That frustration sparked an idea. What if we could create a "hive" of local helpers and people who need help? A place where skills are shared and tasks get done, strengthening our local community in the process.
That’s when the idea for Jobbiene was born. The name comes from "Job" and "Biene" (the German word for bee) encapsulating the spirit of a busy, efficient, and local community working together. The last few months have been a crazy journey of late nights, learning how to build a platform from scratch, designing logos, and figuring out every little detail to make it safe, fair, and easy for everyone.
My vision for Jobbiene.com isn't just to build another app. It's to build a real community. It's for the student looking to earn some extra money, the retiree with a passion for gardening, and for anyone who just needs an extra hand to get things done. It’s about making our towns and neighborhoods feel more connected and resourceful.
Today, the first version is live. It's still in its early "beta" phase, and this is just the beginning. I'd be incredibly grateful if you’d check it out, maybe even post that small task you've been putting off. Its all free, and grown here in Switzerland and all your support is what can make this successful!
Be a part of our founding hive. Let's build this together.
Thank you for being part of the journey. If you want to provide any direct feedback feel free to give a shout out at
