I don't know any examples offhand, but I've heard people pitch the idea of creating co-op alternatives to gig labor platforms like Uber. Obviously this entails much more than programming and requires some careful thought about labor/exploitation, but it would be an interesting problem to explore.
The price is next month’s projected costs divided by last month’s member count. And being a subscriber for a given month entitles you to profit sharing.
I dunno this would need to involve a long brainstorming session and some quick iteration. The contradiction is that the app and servers are the capital that allows the coop to socialize production, but the labor still needs to happen, so the current model doesn’t map 1-to-1. Could be interesting

drivers.coop needs volunteers

Hmmmm. Naive idea: pay-to-drive model
