HN Hackers: Add Yourself

#1

I created a new website at: http://hnhackers.com

that was inspired by this post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1262467

to search for all HN contractors for hire. I thought it would be useful to be able to filter for contractors by skills / bio / location vs using the google spreadsheet, but would love to get your thoughts on this.

Note that I've populated the database with the first 260sh rows from the spreadsheet, so I'll add the new folks in the morning if you're missing.

Let me know what you think!

PS. Here is the spreadsheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlD_6iEb8Ed9dGs3clVJYi0yYVBka181Z0ZKRW9kQ0E&hl=en

Very nice, I've updated my profile and will be sure to use this to seek other people!

Great idea. Do you think it would be useful to make the skills section more like tags to keep it consistent?

Semi-related... I wonder how many active HN users there are?

Bug report: there's a minimum login length of 4 chars, but many HN usernames are shorter than that. It seems to make sense to let people use their HN usernames here.

I also find it curious that you seem to have decided we'll all work for $100/hour. I will, but I suspect there are some people on that list who won't.
