At my last company Staffjoy, hiring for each position took two to three months dozens of hours of my time. Under pressure to meet deadlines, I ended up hiring friends who worked during the day at top companies to help us on the nights and weekends. They were the kind of engineers I wanted to hire full-time, and they could start contributing right away. It turns out that working with part-time engineers is elastic and yields fantastic results. That’s where the idea for Moonlight began. We prototyped the whole Moonlight system last year using Zapier, Google Sheets, Paid Labs, and Typeform. We did six digits in revenue without writing a line of code. It allowed us to iterate quickly and do lots of research before building the web app, which we are launching today. We are a two-person, bootstrapped team living the digital nomad life (hello from Argentina!). We hire through Moonlight to build the app, and we work ourselves through the site to avoid raising money. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m also interested in connecting with any maintainers of open-source technology who are interested in discussing Moonlight as an alternative to Patreon.
