Thanks for sharing! Really curious about the freelancer side. What kind of work are they doing? Where do you find them? Are you happy with their output?

  When working alone on the project I feel like the momentum gets lost sometimes. Sometimes I'm busy building a feature that takes a lot of time and don't have time for other features or bugs. Or when working on marketing there is no time to build new stuff. There might be a future when I'm not coding at all and only responsible for the other aspects of the business. That's why I'm already hiring a freelancer. The hiring process did go like this: - We posted a tweet along the lines of "We are looking for a Node.js programmer to fight for privacy. 8 hours per week for $1000 per month" [1] - We got ~150 responses via Twitter DM - We write them all back with a form they needed to fill in - ~80 of those did fill in the form - From those we selected 5 applicants to do a paid assignment - From those we selected 2 for a video call - Then Dave [2] was selected To us it's very important to treat your applicants in a very nice way. Take time to respond their questions, let them know why they were not selected and pay for their assignments. We got a lot of great feedback for applicants who didn't got selected because of this. Although we are still in the starting phase (he started in January) I'm very happy with the output our developer Dave produces.
