It sounds like selecting Tailwind helped to make clear the specific skills you were looking to hire for and at what level you'd be working together. Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
- webpraktikos 4y agoThe Precedent’s designer here. When I wrote my “for hire” ads, my bullet points were these: · Typography-based design system with Figma · Robust CSS with Tailwind CSS · Straightforward JavaScript with Alpine.js or Stimulus I also noted that my preferred back-end language and framework were Ruby and Rails (on which Preceden is built). So being clear, specific, and knowing some solid technologies and design/code tactics helped me find someone like Matt, who has been a very good collaborator these past few years. It was posted on Haker News (Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?), Reddit (r/forhire r/DesignJobs r/freelance_forhire), and Tailwind Discord.

- drewda 4y agoThanks for sharing. I am curious to hear how you start with new clients like this. Do you identify one task to do together with a very well defined scope and a fixed cost? Do you just get started on an hourly basis and whether it's working well together?
- webpraktikos 4y agoWe’ll usually start with a task based on an hourly rate, not a fixed cost.
