Posted2 hours ago
I am recruiting **4 separate paid testers** for a short first-use evaluation of the open-source Python package **Metriplane 0.3.0**.
I need one tester for each of these existing environments:
* macOS Apple Silicon with Python 3.12 or 3.13
* Raspberry Pi / ARM64 Linux with Python 3.12 or 3.13
* WSL2 Ubuntu with Python 3.12 or 3.13
* Linux x86_64 with Python 3.13, preferably headless/server
**Budget: maximum $20 per tester.**
### Important eligibility requirement
The required operating system and Python version must already be installed and usable before you are hired.
Do not install Python, WSL, Ubuntu, a VM, another operating system, or other system software just to qualify.
Before awarding the job, I will ask you to provide simple terminal output confirming your existing OS, architecture, and Python version.
### Task
If selected, you will:
1. Follow an exact set of commands I provide.
2. Install `metriplane==0.3.0` from PyPI.
3. Run the provided CLI first-use workflow exactly once.
4. Save the complete first-attempt terminal output.
5. If an error occurs, stop and record it. Do not troubleshoot, reinstall dependencies, repair the environment, or rerun the test.
6. Provide a short factual note about anything confusing, unexpected, or unclear.
7. Post one factual result comment to the project's public GitHub issue.
A **PASS or FAIL is equally valid and paid equally**. You are evaluating the package, not being asked to make it work.
### Deliverables
* OS name and version
* CPU architecture
* Python version
* confirmation that the environment existed before this job
* complete first-attempt terminal output
* screenshots where useful
* approximate elapsed time
* first failed command, if any
* first confusing instruction or term, if any
* whether AI, maintainer, or other assistance was used
* brief explanation of what you understood the package input, output, and generated regression to mean
* one factual GitHub result comment
### Requirements
You must:
* personally control the machine/environment
* already have an eligible environment
* have a GitHub account
* never have tested or contributed to Metriplane before
* perform only one measured first attempt
* preserve the original result even if it fails
* not modify the package or attempt to fix bugs during the test
This is a small reproducibility and first-use usability evaluation, not software development work.
**Payment is for completing the evaluation correctly, regardless of whether Metriplane passes or fails.**
