I really hate being so self-aggrandizing, but at gun.io, this is exactly the problem we're trying to solve. Open and extremely easy to use, while not sucking in terms of quality. I think we're doing an OK job, but this is more complex than it sounds, and quite obviously, there's always room to do better. (If anyone strongly feels that we just suck, PLEASE email me). Thanks for allowing us the self-promotional spot, haha - but seriously, if you do want to try us out, just email me and we'll give you a post for free. I am sure our devs are itchin' for (well-compensated) work.

Sorry to hijack, but what's with the compensation estimates on gun.io? It seems like there is some good work on the site but everything seems to be < $500 or > $10k, but there is no basis for the price (is it project pricing, is it per week, did the client estimate it or did you?) I'm interested in using the site, I guess I just don't know how.

  Hey man - awesome, thanks for the question. we clearly have a self-interest in talking about this publicly, but I don't wanna derail the ongoing conversation!! I'd track you down but maybe that'd be a bit weird! Just drop me a line at teja@gun.io and let's chat! Although, just so it's not like I'm dodging your question for any onlookers, fixed price estimates are the way to go for a number of reasons (alignment of incentives, doesn't penalize high productivity, etc). The clients do the pricing, generally, but if something looks silly, we try to step in.

    I think my main confusion was that there are a few things that appear to be full-time jobs but only list $250 - $500

From the point of view of the freelance worker, gun.io has been amazing. Interesting work and very nice clients!
