Freeloot: freelance free?

Welcoming all Gabriela, I want to talk about the project, which will help to make the world better and fairer. No, this is not a fundraising site and not a society of young Communists. This is the newly formed representative of the exchanges of remote work, to put it simply, freelancing. I, as one of the creators, I would be grateful for the attention you can devote to this post, telling about our ideology and our belief in open and free freelancing.

Start

It all started last summer when our main inspiration, to that moment unknown to me, contacted me and started the conversation about remote work. And we both stood in front of the problem: the freelance exchange not allowed beginners to itself, enclosing the paid services and, to put it mildly, a dubious interface.

Is there a problem? It is necessary to solve it. I like was his idea and we began a collaboration which was very fruitful. After a month of working there was young and looking for yourself a web designer. Speaking of which, we had to develop the project so once these budding talents for her training and recharge your own experience. In the end, isn't for them, we all did, are they not our primary audience that we want to teach and nurture?..

We must remember that if the team comes to a designer, then everything will change dramatically. And so it happened: we changed the interface and added new boring Wallpaper buns, spending on the development of even more time.


it used to be...


And now.

And I get that done it would be much faster and better, more interesting and more beautiful, but our project was a force of enthusiasm and the help of volunteers. Meet and greet — the first free and totally free the exchange of freelancing Freeloot spreading her wings.

Knowing that the idea of pulling the project can not, we are not without surprises. For freelancers useful function of the response template to the response, one account and no whatsoever restrictions on responses. For customers will become an indispensable personal messages and tasks, allowing you to see how the order is moving, what is still a problem and always ready to provide statistics on the execution of the order. The rest will enjoy not only a clean interface in the best traditions of Material, but the expected applications for all platforms.

And since we showed up on Habr, it is a sin not to talk about the technical stuffing. At least for tradition's sake. The project uses one of the most popular back-end frameworks, working on a completely normal server, but https, and, most importantly, we prepare API.

In closing

We invite all interested users, Habrahabr to participate in the development of the resource. I'm happy to see any of you in our team, whether as a programmer or Manager. Especially valuable to people who are not gurus, but really want to. We will help them, giving invaluable experience with a real project.

Or just come watch and maybe even leave a response on the order.

We believe that freelancing should be independent, not demanding money. For all and always.
