Show HN: OpenMerch – Turning software into atomic jobs

Hacker News - Mon, 06/01/2026 - 2:22pm

OpenMerch is an execution layer for software work: https://openmerch.dev

Instead of purchasing software subscriptions, users submit atomic jobs such as finding a verified business email, enriching a company, researching a lead, or retrieving market data.

Jobs are executed through a distributed provider network and settle only when work completes successfully.

The project was inspired by a simple question:

What if the job became the atomic unit of software instead of the application?

Happy to answer questions about the architecture, marketplace design, provider incentives, and the idea that the job, not the application, may become the atomic unit of software.
