Everything HUB does.And where each feature stands.

Your storefront says whether you work remotely, your areas and your languages. In Discover, the “Remote” circle shows people who work from afar: a designer, a translator or a developer can be found without being neighbours.

Imagined example a designer living in Paris, attached to Guadeloupe, offers remote missions.

The app already knows Martinique and Guadeloupe; the pilot opens Martinique first. What can be done remotely travels; what has to be picked up or touched stays close to home.

Imagined example a developer in Guadeloupe answers a need from a shop in Le Lamentin.

Attach yourself to your island from Paris, Montreal or elsewhere, say what you can do, receive requests meant for the diaspora and answer “I can do it”. And the other way round: diaspora talents make themselves known on the island. Where you live is never shown more precisely than the country.

Imagined example from Montreal, an engineer answers a request for advice from an association in Sainte-Luce.

Declare the languages you work in; then translation on demand, with the original always visible alongside.

Imagined example a craftswoman in Saint Lucia reads a request in French, translated, with the original text.

Hubs, their items, offers and workshops, by circles: near you, your island, the archipelago, remote. Ranked by proximity and proof, never by money.

Imagined example a basil plant, fish of the day and alterations, a few minutes from home.

What people are looking for around you: a concrete reason to offer what you can do.

Imagined example a carpenter sees that someone in his town needs a door repaired.

A watch follows a field in a territory. The number of watches and the depth of history grow with your level; moving down a level deletes nothing.

Imagined example a caterer follows “catering and events” in Martinique.

See what the territory asks for in services, not only products: artificial intelligence, graphic design, training. Aggregated trends, small numbers hidden, never the names of those searching.

Imagined example a trainer sees that requests for AI training keep coming back in his town.

Producers sell without a middleman, at their own price, with pickup and pay on site. 0% HUB commission on their sales.

Imagined example a farmer sells his yams from his storefront, pickup on Saturday at the farm.

When publishing, the seller, and only the seller, sees whether the price is below, within or above observed prices. The Benchmark places a price, it never sets it. Without enough independent sources, no number is shown, and a buyer never sees whether a seller is “above”.

Imagined example “Within observed prices” for limes by the kilo.

A simple, free and private calculator: what what you sell really costs, so you don’t undersell your work.

Imagined example a jam maker adds sugar, jars and her time, and finds her floor price.

Requests near you and what is missing in your town stay free. With Pro, the depth: what your market asks for, the history of your benchmarks, your margins and alerts on your own products.

Imagined example a market gardener sees that restaurants in his town look for fresh herbs every week.

Where we stand: the price surveys published by the DAAF (the State’s agriculture offices) in Martinique and Guadeloupe are identified as sources. Their reuse licence is unclear: an agreement has to be requested from both DAAFs. No data is imported today.

Imagined example later, and only with that agreement, a benchmark could cite the month’s price report, with its date.

The owner presents the need, the intended use, the deadline and photos. People follow the project, pre-order from the Hub’s shop, offer help (a skill, lending equipment). The owner posts updates and milestones. Alongside, the proof HUB has measured: orders honoured, response time, time on HUB.

Imagined example an association looks for a cement mixer and two volunteers for its community garden, and posts a photo of the first bed planted.

Later, the “Support on Pélikan Karayib” button will open the project’s page on Pélikan Karayib, a partner crowdfunding platform: donations first, then loans. The regulatory framework is being put in place. HUB never holds project money, never solicits investment and never promises any return.

Imagined example a neighbour following the community garden chooses “Notify me when it opens”.
