#2Hi, this is my first potentially revenue-generating project, that I built in 2 weeks. There are still a few features missing (e.g. CV upload) but the general functionality is there - including the Github authentication. Would love to hear what people think :)

I like the concept! I'm a freelance developer and working on my own web app for freelancers as well. One problem I have with services like these tho is the chicken/egg problem. I just did a search for contract positions and only saw two. As a dev, I wouldn't want to visit the site again unless I know there will be a lot more jobs posted.

Yeah, this is really a difficult thing to make work.
If it succeeds, it will be huge, but the odds are always against any chicken-and-egg service like that.

Advice: Please remove "Enforce Github authentication" functionality. Don't help popularizing "Github is your CV" bullshit. Also, since you're just starting, limiting your userbase is the last thing you want to achieve...

#6The key business problem with job sites isn't getting job listings or even getting employers and recruiters to pay for them, but building an audience and getting exposure for the listings.
Beyond a small Twitter and RSS graphic at the top, there doesn't appear to be much effort on this site to build an audience, yet that's the most important part and what its long-term success will depend on - I advise the creator think about ways to surmount those obstacles.

Why do you think it's bullshit?
