March 2019: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?

For those not familiar, this is patterned after a long-running thread on Hacker News. Think of it like a little classified ads section. It looks like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16282820

Tips for posting:

✔️ Lead with SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER.
✔️ Let's just assume that everyone is okay with remote work, unless specified otherwise.
✔️ Make sure you have up to date contact information in your post or your IH profile.
✔️ I've never been given too much information about a job or freelancer up front. It's never happened!
✔️ If you successfully find work/hire someone through this thread, post and let us know!
