Hi! Reaching out because I'm building a job board focused exclusively on the Portuguese startup scene: #startupjobspt I was wondering if you have any advice regarding mistakes at this stage/what to avoid. — I want to create something without putting too much effort, in order to validate and see ...

I've been coding since the early 2000s. I started coding in ruby on rails in 2013 and never looked back. I still use jquery for all my front-end. It bugs me that I haven't made the leap to react/vue or the like, but all projects I worked on so far (freelance + side projects), I didn't have a goo...

It took me 2 days to get http://FreelanceDir.com done and share my process. 1. My PRD only has the prompts of how to design a good product prototype, which is handed over to the cursor for a little tweaking to be the finished product. 2. My technology stack is django+htmx+tailwindCSS, when I gi...

Hey everyone, I’m a European freelancer dev with clients in the US, and now my own apps are starting to generate some consistent monthly revenue. With freelancing only, my tax setup was fine. But now, with income coming from Stripe and App Stores, things get complicated. Europe is way behind i...

Hi makers, I was thinking about people here who have a traditional corporate job in addition to a solopreneur life building digital products that are completely different from their area of expertise. Example: A corporate job in VC and as side-projects the building of web2, AI websites. I know...

Recently I am seeing a lot of SAAS grow & I am thinking of launching one as a side project. It can be one off like whole automation thing that I make once & forget & it makes me money or it can be something that I have to keep updated like Web or Mobile Templates. As this group has a lot of maker...

I'm getting really annoyed with Starling Bank. They've had quite poor customer service for a while now - outsourced to cheap labour abroad.  I've been with them for two years and initially they were super! What should I use instead?

We just launched FastCut – the AI short-form video editor that’s supposed to save you hours of editing. But I know what you're thinking:  "Another AI tool? 💀" So here’s a request:  Roast it. Break it. Judge it. Try the product. Tear apart the landing page. Tell us what sucks. I’m not looking for...

When you visite a website before or after an interaction, where do you leave your cursor? Me, it's on the right in the middle of my screen and you?

The first time I launched Scoutzie was 13 years ago. We did well, but couldn't scale to the size of a venture-funded company. Silly me ended up shutting the company down in 2015, but I never stopped thinking about it. Fast forward to 2025 and my friend Kerry and I are relaunching it. No funding,...

I have additional 30-40 minutes a day in the morning before my day job and I want to use it for working on my side project.  I want to have the same strategy as Pat Walls from Starter Story and sit down in the cafe on the way to the office.  I don’t want to carry my laptop with me every day, bu...

I'm coming back to the freelancing game after some time building other businesses, and I used to get a lot of content writing clients on Twitter circa 2009. But now Twitter is X and there's a whole ~thing~ with it, and it's kind of a dumpster fire. So, this one is for the freelancers (bonus if ...

Agency owners (and everyone else), I need your advice with self-identity, branding and self-positioning "me" vs "my company". I run a small Cloud Consulting agency where we build/troubleshoot Cloud for small-to-mid startups (Terraform, AWS, EKS, Docker, etc). I do at least 50% of work myself, ...

TLDR: I've built a bot that can help people find gigs and jobs on Twitter: https://findmegigs.com/ A lot of people like the idea, but I'm not sure if the best to do with it is offering it for free or try to charge for it. What would you do?

Where do people here go for freelance assistance e.g. designers, developers or marketing? I've used Upwork quite a bit in the past both personally and for my businesses. Interested in any other options especially for design and marketing where my experiences on upwork have been more mixed.
