Personal Opinion Alert, take with grain of salt: I'm not likely to give out my personal information (email address, github account, etc) just to see a list of projects. I'd certainly give you my information to apply for one. Was the list of projects public, I'd be more likely to sign up for "interesting" ones be sent to me. Our definitions of interesting might be different, and seeing a public list would make me more comfortable.
- jmonegro 14y agoCould I ask you why? Aside from the e-mail address (which is private), I would assume you'd want the github/work information to be public anyways.
- cpfohl 14y agoMainly becuase it's basically an email subscription which I avoid unless I know what value I'm getting ahead of time. Site looks good, btw, I hope it goes well for you. I was just offering one insight into a potential reason people might not sign up.
- jameswburke 14y agoI found myself okay with it because they'll send the developers a list of projects. From there I apply on ones I'm interested in, rather than the other way around. We'll see how it goes this Saturday. As a freelancer I'm always open to new client discovery.
