Gig marketplace for Sudanese startups to hire diaspora devs for quick devtools tasks.
Sudanese devtools startups and projects suffer a critical shortage of top developers who have fled abroad due to war and economic collapse.
SudanGigHub offers fixed-price gigs where local startups post short-term devtools projects (e.g., bug fixes, features) and diaspora devs bid or accept instantly.
