Why not split the "Freelancer? Seeking freelancers?" thread in two?
Seems to me that you're either looking for work, or looking for somebody to hire. So in the "Freelancer/Seeking freelancers" threads (for example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2949790 ), half of the content is not relevant to the reader.
Splitting the thread in two (i.e. into "freelancers" and "seeking freelancers") would make the page easier to read, and it would also make it much easier to search the page for specific keywords.
- kls 15y agoI agree, it would make weeding through the threads easier for all involved. While the two are related, the consumers of each are wholly independent in their pursuits. I vote for splitting them.
- MattBearman 15y agoSecond, I find my self searching the thread for the work 'seeking', but that never gets them all
- chc 15y agoIt's hard enough to keep one post afloat on Hacker News these days. One of the two would probably get buried in a hurry. I think the better (if somewhat less clean) solution is just to use your browser's text search to look for the category you want.
- wavephorm 15y agoDo the seeking work posts even make sense at all? Typically that's not the way people are hired.
