Ask for the app nobody has built yet.
If the gallery is missing the tool you need, say so here. Developers and vibe coders browse this board for ideas worth building — and whatever gets built runs on the PortModels account you already have.
Free to post and free to back. You pay only when you actually run an app.
From "someone should build this" to an app you can open
A request is a small, public brief. It costs nothing to write, it tells developers where the demand is, and the votes on it are the proof that the demand is real.
-
1
You describe what you need
What the app should do, who it is for, and what you would do with it today instead. A short brief beats a long wish list.
-
2
Others back it
Anyone with an account can vote. Requests rise on the board as people pile on, so developers can see what is actually wanted rather than guessing.
-
3
A developer builds it
They publish it to the gallery like any other app. It shows up as shipped here, and you open it with your existing balance — no new signup, no new subscription.
