Hey everyone!<p>My name is Eric, I’m a programmer from Sweden. I built this thing pretty much out of frustration of not finding the right people to work with, in a time when we can collaborate across borders and time zones. I don’t mean finding a job, or fixing someones email template. I mean as in being part of an actual project.<p>Hope you like it :)
My issue with these platforms is it is very easy to find people who are excited about starting a company or working on a large project but it is very difficult to find someone who actually has the discipline to stick to it for two or three years.<p>I run a discord channel that has several hundred coders and I get 5+ requests weekly to work on a project with someone and those projects are almost always abandonware in a few weeks even after recruiting help from my channel :/
RemoteHacker is great! We came across it on Product Hunt yesterday and posted one project. We have been very impressed by everyone who has reached out so far.<p>It seems like there's a gap between small one-off jobs that are posted on Upwork, and projects that require multiple full-time engineers. RemoteHacker seems to sit perfectly in between those two options.
I like the simplicity.<p>Seems like you did a great job of narrowing down the scope for an MVP. You could have added all kinds of filtering, searching, etc. but for starting out you nailed the core feature set.<p>I'll keep this in mind next time I'm looking for some help. Hopefully, as you scale up you can defend against spam and the type of low quality stuff that pollutes craigslist and the like.
Great idea - though unfortunately the site is blocked by corporate firewalls. Will check the site when I get home. The site is handy as I am looking for someone to work with on a Saas CRM.
I would love to use it, as I'm desperately looking for a partner for my site Unfollow.IO and another project since 2016, but I have no credit card. Would you accept PayPal?
I have one suggestion:<p>Include the project info in the initial answer from the poster. I have contacted three project owners and now have trouble figuring out which one replied.
