How Dabble works

One credit is a small unit of Dabbler time — roughly twenty minutes of focused, in-person help. It is not a dollar and not a contract. Sessions are priced in whole credits so expectations stay clear.

• Teach a session that both Dabblers mark complete; learner confirmation and simple ratings keep the ledger honest.
• Get rated after sessions (when ratings are given); good-faith feedback keeps the loop trustworthy.
• A swap loop: the talent and skills you share become credits someone else spends, so curiosity circulates.
• Free allocation during pilot: during the introductory phase of Dabble, eligible Dabblers receive starter credits so newcomers can try a session before their first teach (see below).

• Legal simplicity: fewer gray zones than charging strangers for ad-hoc services through profiles.
• Community first: an exchange of talent, skills, ideas, and knowledge — a way to deepen the experience of a place.
• Access: Dabblers who could not hire a private tutor can still take part in the swap, lowering costs while deepening experiences.

While the community is under 1,000 Dabblers, every new member receives six starter creditsso you can book a short session before you teach your first skill. The cap keeps the swap generous while we’re getting started.
