# Requesting

The Mechanic community maintains a board of task requests, where anyone can submit their idea for an addition to the Mechanic task library.

{% embed url="<https://mechanic.canny.io/task-requests>" %}

### What kind of task requests are accepted?

We accept task requests in two categories:

* Tasks that are broadly useful off-the-shelf for non-technical users
* Tasks that are useful foundations for developers, for further modification or inspiration

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need a task that's specifically tailored to a unique situation, or if you have a tight timeline, the task requests board is likely not a good fit. Instead, [work with a developer one-on-one](/custom.md) to create something that suits your needs specifically.
{% endhint %}

### Who implements these task requests?

The Mechanic staff commission these from developers in the Mechanic community. If you're a developer interested in receiving this kind of work, get in touch at <team@usemechanic.com>.

### Where can I file a task request?

Head to <https://mechanic.canny.io/task-requests>. :)
