Railyo - job board for Rails freelancers

Having started a job board before (orangeslyce.com), one recommendation I have is to pre-seed the board with jobs to help get over the chicken/egg problem. You can hustle analog and get some posts or even copy quality postings off other sites. Sure they won't be paying customers, but it's kindling for the fire and gives the appearance of social proof.

I tried to register 4+ times with a password that included special characters, but each time it said my password didn't match. Once I changed it to an insecure password, it went through. I could have been bad typing on my part 4 times, but... you may want to test this.<p>Also - It doesn't appear that the profile visibility dropdown gets repopulated after form submission failure with the previously selected option.

If you are a Django developer, there is a similar approach:<p><a href="http://djangogigs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://djangogigs.com/</a>

I got your cold email the other day. About the 3rd cold email I've gotten from an HN user. I was happy. Anyhow, your email copy is not very good. Work on it. I also replied to the email and you never answered? If you contact me then reply. You lost your chance, because I know a <i>lot</i> of Rails developers.

few things i could have done differently:<p>&#62; importing developer data from linked-in/github instead of form filling.<p>&#62; Showing some jobs as it will make me sign up to the site. How do i know how many jobs are there??

Crashed, when I clicked on the hompepage URL of this developer: <a href="http://railyo.com/developers/53" rel="nofollow">http://railyo.com/developers/53</a><p>And btw your app runs in development environment!

No search? Browsing through page upon page is going to get tired soon.

Is Railyo open source?

Is that I'm the only one think the site itself proves Rails isn't the silver bullet to solve all web application requirement out there? You guys could have done a way better job.
