This is my first solo-founded product, I developed it with 3 weeks.

The goal is build a marketplace where people can share their expertise and get money or get feedback for your idea, product, website, etc.

Thanks!

Cool idea, kind of like ProductHunt meets Quora? I think in order for people to spend money you will need some well known experts, but I like the free offering and I put in a submission of my own. Congrats on the launch!

This is nice. I've started building two ideas for this, but I always stopped.

1. A website where you uploaded a design and was guaranteed feedback on it once you gave feedback on someone elses design.

2. Exactly the same, except purely though email. You'd email your design to X@Y.Z and you'd get another one in your inbox that you could reply to. Once that was done, you'd receive feedback on your design.

Oh and as a bonus I also have this page, that I've never shared anywhere before http://jontelang.com/feedback/.

On your site, this looks nice however for the 'see roasts'. It is unclear if the roasts there are free ones or kinda the proper paid roasts.

Really slick for something that was solo founded and developed within 3 weeks.

Couple of suggestions : The folks with good roasts rating can be invited to become experts that ways you are incentivizing everyone involved to give good and proper feedback. Bad roasts get negative points (a la Karma) and this can be used to determine the payout. I usually don't like changing the entire pricing/biz model for folks but i thought this might be something that you can look into.

The only thing that irritated me a bit was the color, i agree that red can look slick but the sharpness is a bit too much?

Regardless really good idea, well executed. Best of luck :)

Thanks for your kind words!

Now I have a 'point' system (like karma) and the goal is to reward better roasters with free roasts, become an expert and more! I will take in consideration your suggestion!

The color is true that maybe is too "strong". I will try to improve it.

Thanks!

Thanks for your ideas. The email part is a very good way to reach more people.

You are the second person that say to me that the "see roasts" button is unclear. Message received! I will change it right now

Thanks!
