   Project approval will likely just be a matter of human scale. It takes < 1 min to figure out if it's going to be approved or not. I do have a bunch of automation around stuff like "this isn't quite ready to go out because of X/Y/Z, clic

   Heh, honestly that's probably what I'll do. We (Forrst) can certainly share the load if/when it becomes necessary.

   Both great questions. On the project side, I hand approve every post. Spam/recruiter junk/etc. gets deleted and the email address blacklisted. For the talent side, yes, you're right; there's a good potential for A++++++++ firm nonsense. The

   Interesting idea. Happy to brainstorm about that - kyle at forrst.com

   All projects are approved by a human, and on the talent side fake emails that bounce are automatically removed.

   Thanks. We'll see how it works out, but yes, that was the intention. I get 6 days to moderate and queue up projects for the next email. Plus, I like the idea of a low/no-effort set up for the talent side -- they get an email they can skim a

    Thanks for the feedback! I actually had the first item written down, and the more I mull it over the more it makes sense.

    Thanks very much. That was indeed the goal. As to whether this works the way I'm anticipating, only time will tell! I'm predicting, though, that this works as a nice adjunct to directly contacting designers (or anyone else) -- you never kno

    We can't really release the kind of quick, experimental MVP projects that I'm such a fan of on Forrst since we've got 40k people who will notice a lack of polish and so forth. I wanted to vet this idea quickly without the overhead of expect

    Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, though I'm focusing specifically on short-term work. It's also a set it and forget it scenario for the talent -- they just get stuff delivered. At the end of the day, it's an experiment and something interesti

    Anyone can read about it, but you're free to use a pseudonym and generic email address. There is craigslist-style email anonymity, so you get to obscure your identity as long as you'd like to.

    Bad/inside joke. People are doing that on Forrst a bunch, so it was more of a nod/friendly jab at them. Thanks btw! :)

    Thanks for this. I've certainly got nothing against WH. I actually would rather Tinyproj not venture into the barter/cofounder space - others are doing that well already :)

    You're totally right, and I'm working on that as fast as I can.

    Thanks very much. It might be my favorite one yet :) You're welcome. It's the same on the project side, so should be interesting to see how the targeting works out.

    I'm pretty excited about this. If you submit a project, mention HN and I'll give you 50% off the first one.

    Haven't got that far yet :) But there certainly will be, so long as there is enough interest from the hiring side.
