Built a freelancing app to hire in under 60 seconds — looking for feedback on growth
Hey IH,
I’m Dinaagaren, a solo founder.
I recently built GiniGigs, a mobile-first freelancing app designed to make hiring fast and simple.
What it does:
- Hire freelancers in ~60 seconds
- No proposals — just chat → hire → pay
- Pre-vetted international freelancers
- Built for quick, real-time hiring
Current traction:
- 10,000+ app downloads
- 60 freelancers onboarded
- 4.8★ app rating
- Zero marketing spend so far
Tech stack: Flutter, Node.js, MongoDB
Challenge:
I now have freelancers on the platform, but growing the client side (people posting jobs) is the hard part.
I’d really appreciate feedback from founders or builders here:
What would you focus on next to attract more clients?

Thanks for reading 🙏
The 60-second hook is smart positioning, but the real question is which side of the marketplace you're acquiring first - clients or freelancers. Most two-sided markets die from trying to grow both simultaneously with no budget. Pick the harder side to fill (usually clients), go narrow on one niche, and make the other side easy to onboard once demand exists.
60 seconds to hire is a bold UX claim — and the right one to test. Speed of match is the core value prop for both sides: the freelancer gets faster pipeline, the client gets less friction.
One thing worth thinking about for growth: the prompt your clients use to describe what they need is probably where quality breaks down. Vague job descriptions attract vague candidates. Structured intake = better matches.
I built flompt for exactly that kind of structured thinking — a visual prompt builder that forces you to decompose inputs into 12 semantic blocks (role, objective, constraints, output format, etc.) and compiles them clearly. The discipline applies equally to job briefs and AI prompts.
A ⭐ on github.com/Nyrok/flompt would mean a lot — solo open-source founder here 🙏
