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!

The first project on the site is to fix that problem ;-) A perfect chicken-and-egg implementation!

#14Out of curiosity, what did you use to make those animations? Cool site, by the way.

Same problem. It happened to me right after it sent me to GitHub and I clicked the 'Authorize App' button.

#16The contact link doesn't work on Chrome/Fedora 17. Other than that, seems pretty nice. good luck.

#17Looking at this from a non-developers perspective there's one thing that would put me off- waiting until Saturday before developers see the job.
If it's a small job it's likely the job poster will want to get someone working ASAP.

#18"We're sorry, but something went wrong."
I guess this site is just a landing page to estimate the demand.Not actually implemented?

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

#20This seems to be pitched somewhere horrible between the fun side projects ideas site and contract work. Take out the $50 charge and it suddenly looks great
$50 isn't very much for a days work. Also if I'm doing contract work it would be nice to pitch the price to the project and my skills rather than having some arbitrary fixed price. If I have taken someone's money they will feel entitled and I have to deal with difficult clients vague requirements and suchlike. They will also (presumably) retain the rites for the code produced.
Remove the $50 and it can be just for fun. I can bail on people I don't want to work with and I can retain the code if I want to extend it or show it off on my GitHub.
