@alexpotrivaev can answer your Q's!
Thanks Bram! Gigscribe was born out of pain I felt when started freelancing myself - too much unbillable time was spend on finding gigs, not on working on them. So I decided to help others tackle this problem more smartly.
Will be glad to answer your questions, folks!
@jakubroztocil Thank you, Jakub! That's true. I noticed right now some people are hacking it by subscribing several times with the same email address but to different categories. I'll think how to fix it.
Love the name ;) Maybe I started a trend here > www.producthunt.com/posts/jobscribe
Nice site too!! Good luck with this. I wanted to do Freelance gigs at first, but took the easier route. Curious how you're finding the gigs.
@dylanfeltus Thanks Dylan! Jobscribe is awesome, it was actually one of initial inspirations.
Regarding the algorithm, we are searching through the feed of 50+ resources with freelance jobs (from oDesk and Elance to Amazing Jobs and Craigslist) and we pick the best gigs manually.
@djshiow We are searching through 50+ resources with freelance jobs (from oDesk and Elance to Amazing Jobs and Craigslist) and manually picking the best offerings.
It's a lot of work so we decided not to move to all verticals at first (with separate iOS, Android, web etc categories) and combined them into fronted development for now. Depending on the need, I'll be adding other categories as well.
What are you using to build+send the emails? I ask because I know Product Hunt was started using Linkydink; curious to know if you're being similarly lean or if for example you're just doing MailChimp manually.
