Who to solicit for a small project? (self.technology)

I'm not in the tech community, but I have an idea for a device I want to get made (just for my own convenience; nothing commercial or for an organization). Is there an existing platform for soliciting someone to build an electronic gadget for me?

That's insightful, thanks. Not knowing the subtleties of it, I imagined they would just need to make sure the thing has an IR receiver and is programmable, which they can test with whatever remotes and associated devices they have around. Then I could program the finished thing with my remote at home.

I (tried to) send you a message, there doesn't seem to be a 'Sent' box on Lemmy so I can't verify it sent successfully. Let me know if you didn't get it.
