Out of curiosity, what did you use to make those animations? Cool site, by the way.

CSS3 transitions, by the look of it (http://www.gethacker.com/assets/application-69339e2f3b3262c7...)

It's under heavy load and possible during development. I will wait when it start loading later tonight.

edit: site actually loaded, but sing-up for developers failed . Also, please be more up-front about how and how much a developer gets paid. Is the $50 a project submission fee ? Is the $50 the actual income submitted to the developer minus your commision ?

That's great news. Means people are interested. Can't wait to see the idea when it is back up.

Alright, I'm working on the signup errors. It appears to be hit and miss. I personally can't replicated but I'm upping the dynos on heroku and checking my code. Thanks!

Also, "The process is over and you're project will be coming together soon" -> "your project"

Fixed!

I will never understand reliance on Github for screening applicants. Here, the people that need a hacker probably have no idea what to look for in a Github account.

It seemed like a good idea until I hit "contact" and it's just an email address. Not as credible as I'd prefer were I looking for more information about the company behind this since it could have legal implications regarding taking on work outside of the country, taxes, etc. If I can't learn more about the site/company, it looks like just someone's side project and, hence, I question the support/security/stability/etc. of it.
