#22We changed the title from "40% of Women Leave Tech; Could Remote Work Be a Solution?" because it was baity and the page's own language is more informative.
That's hilarious. When you want views, just reference the "gender problem" in tech. Genius.
The creator and submitter is female. This could well be a problem she's familiar with and trying to solve rather than exploit.

#23I got excited thinking this was a way to either:
A) Recruit other developers onto your side project or B) Hire other developers to help with your side project.
I'd be interested in finding side projects to contribute to, or finding people that would like to contribute to mine. Are there sites out there for either of these purposes? If not, sounds like a good side project...

#24You lost me at "LinkedIN".

#25I love the idea, but I'm not a LinkedIn user. Wouldn't it be more inclusive to transform the "LinkedIn URL" field into a general purpose URL field? Also, if you post something, it's a bit of a black hole. The entry is held for moderator approval and when you go back to the "show what you made form" it's as if nothing ever happened.
That's true, a Stackoverflow profile would be probably more suitable, or whichever link gives more information about the developer. There is an alert after submitting the form, and a redirect to the frontpage. It's set to disappear quite quickly. I will improve on that, thanks for pointing it out!
Why do you feel it has to be to a specific site?
Personally I do not participate in either of those sites. The only thing a Stack Overflow profile shows is how skilled someone is at quick draw Googling answers to very simple programming questions.

I'd be curious what google answer you find isn't already on StackOverflow :)

#28A bit of a nitpick, but I've noticed the trend of several sites to only allow SSO with one, maybe two, 3rd parties. More egregious, no ability to sign up directly. Are other languages missing something like node's Passport to allow easy integration to multiple SSO providers or is single-single service sign on an active choice that is growing in popularity?
I've read that people think offering to many choices is confusing...
I agree though, unless you directly tie into another service direct sign-up is a must. And I still don't understand why OpenID had to die...

#29Is this only for hosted, web app projects?

I will change that! :)
