I had a look, and didn't sign up (yet) because:
The only breakdown for software is: games; mobile; web design; web dev.
My work is usually about improving ops/infra processes, developer tooling, system architecture, etc. Yes that usually relates to a "web app" but based on current trends, subscribing under "web development" would likely result in a bunch of react/angular/$flavour-of-the-month-JS leads.
Having said all that, I just noticed that you source leads from places that I deliberately avoid, because I'm not interested in a race to the bottom using a "platform" that exists purely to skim a percentage from every invoice.
- amosuro 7y agoThanks for the feedback! It sounds like you'd be looking for platform engineering leads. I completely agree on the categorisation and will be looking to add more specific professions soon. With the platforms, again I agree with you that the way some of them are designed makes it difficult for freelancers to be valued for the work they create. That's why we not only find leads from these platforms but also seek to find leads from sources such as LinkedIn/Facebook where you can have a much more direct relationship with the individual looking for your skillset.
