Description
Experience Level: Entry
We're looking for a developer (ideally a few) to help test and improve RailCall, a local-first, developer-grade automation tool. This is real paid work, broken into small fixed-price tasks. Start with one; if it's a good fit, there's a steady stream of more.
About the tool (so you can scope your proposal accurately):
RailCall runs on your own machine. You describe an automation in plain English and it builds a real, governed workflow that runs locally - not in a vendor cloud. Nothing executes until you approve it (dry-run by default), and every run is sealed with a signed receipt you can verify offline. Keys, data and logs stay on your machine. There's a free tier (500 flows/month, no card) so you can install and start straight away.
- Site: https://railcall.ai
- Docs: https://railcall.ai/docs.html
- Install (macOS/Linux): curl -fsSL https://railcall.ai/install.sh | bash - then run: railcall studio
The tasks we're paying for (fixed price, per accepted deliverable):
1. A reproducible bug report or actionable feedback - approx £8 each. Accepted when we can reproduce the issue from your write-up (clear steps, expected vs actual, environment) or directly act on the feedback.
2. A shipped fix, or a genuinely useful workflow you've built - approx £20 each. Accepted when the fix is verified working, or the workflow runs and you supply its signed receipt (via "railcall verify").
3. A standout build, a written how-to guide, or a short demo video - approx £40 each. Accepted when it's clear, accurate, and something we'd be happy to share with other developers.
Every milestone is agreed, awarded and paid through PeoplePerHour. These are paid tasks - not spec work, not a free contest.
What we're after:
- Comfortable on the command line, with git, and installing a CLI on macOS or Linux
- Can write a clear, reproducible report (steps, expected vs actual, environment)
- Bonus: experience with MCP, agent tooling, or workflow automation
How to propose:
Send a proposal here on PeoplePerHour. Tell us which task you'd like to start with, a rough delivery timeline, and anything relevant you've built before. We agree the milestone, award it, and release payment on delivery through PPH. Reliable contributors will be first in line for more of the same work - this is ongoing, and the longer-term arrangement is still taking shape, so no promises beyond the paid tasks named above.

Sounds cool, do you have a windows version?

Hi Nicholas,
Thank you for the detailed project description. Before submitting my proposal, I had a few quick questions:
1. Which platform would you prefer contributors to prioritize for testing—Linux, macOS, or both?
2. Are there any specific components of RailCall you'd like us to focus on first (workflow generation, execution engine, receipts, MCP integration, etc.)?
3. For accepted fixes, do you prefer Git pull requests, patches, or another contribution workflow?
4. Should contributors work against the latest stable release, or do you also have development builds you'd like tested?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
