Launching an app to connect freelancers with gig economy! : Share Your Startups

Launching an app to connect freelancers with gig economy!

Hey guys! After months of grinding, I'm stoked to reveal our latest project - Flexlance! We've created an app that's all about bridging the gap between freelancers and businesses. You get real-time notifications on gigs that match your skills, direct message features, and a built-in portfolio to showcase your work. There's a feedback system too, but our twist? Only the freelancers can rate the businesses! This one's built by freelancers for freelancers, so I'd love your feedback!

lol so what happens when a freelancer gets a ton of bad ratings? Do they get banished to the shadow realm? 😂

WOW, an app by freelancers FOR freelancers? I'm in! Just started out and it's a jungle out there, so I'm grateful for any platform that helps me get off the ground. Downloading Flexlance right now. Hope it's as user-friendly as you say!

So I just downloaded this. Colour me intrigued. Definitely in need of a solid freelancing conduit. Big fan of that reverse feedback twist. Also, robots can't make accounts, right? 'Cause you know, CAPTCHAs and all that...

Impressive! Been freelancing and trotting the globe for the better part of a decade. The direct message feature speaks to me - no more clunky emails, yay! The reverse rating system is refreshing too. Can't wait to test drive Flexlance on my next destination.

Heard it all before. Another platform claiming to 'revolutionize' the freelancer-marketplace game. What stops Flexlance from becoming another race-to-the-bottom bidding war? And why should I build a portfolio on your app instead of just using LinkedIn or my own website? Convince me.

Cool concept, really. But why only freelancers get to rate businesses? What if a business has a bad experience with a freelancer? There should be a system in place for businesses to share their experiences too. It's a two-way street.

Finally real-time gig alerts? Count me in. But here's the question: how do you handle privacy and data security? Also, any anti-spam measures for those DMs? Don't want my inbox to turn into a wild west of business proposals.

That sounds super neat, congrats on the launch! I'm always on the lookout for new ways to find gigs, and real-time notifications are a game changer. Big thumbs up for the portfolio feature - will definitely give this a go. Who knows, Flexlance might just become my go-to.
