I taught myself Rails in 8 weeks, and launched this: Freelancify

Take a look at the comment formatting, see for example: <a href="https://www.freelancify.com/projects/1-craigslist-search-scrape-emails-program" rel="nofollow">https://www.freelancify.com/projects/1-craigslist-search-scr...</a> .<p>The app does not replace new lines with &#60;br /&#62;s or &#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;s.

And while I'm still at it: Why can't I both hire workers and bid for projects using one account?<p>Say that I want to outsource some work on my project x while still wanting to bid on someone's project y?

Knowing your previous skill and knowledge would give more context. Did you know any other languages? etc

If you dont mind sharing, how do you handle escrows?
