Built a freelancing app to hire in under 60 seconds — looking for feedback on growth
Hey everyone, 👋
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 🙏
Really interesting product! I am 17 years old from Kerala India building CompeteIQ and growth is something I am actively figuring out too. The growth channel working best for me right now with zero budget is showing up genuinely in founder communities every single day and offering real free value before asking for anything. Trust compounds slowly but it converts better than any paid channel. Have you tried direct personal outreach to your ideal customers yet?
This looks really promising, especially the “hire in 60 seconds” flow—that’s a strong differentiator. 🚀
For attracting more clients, a few ideas:
Targeted niche outreach – start with industries or roles where speed is critical (e.g., designers for quick projects, devs for micro-tasks).
Referral incentives – give clients a small bonus or discount for posting jobs and bringing others.
Content or case studies – show real examples of projects completed quickly and successfully on the platform. People love seeing proof before committing.
Integrations / plug-ins – linking with tools clients already use (Slack, Notion, Trello) can make posting jobs almost frictionless.
You already have great traction on the freelancer side. Now it’s about making it irresistible for clients to try once—and then stick.
Curious, how are you currently onboarding new clients?
Congrats on 10k downloads with zero marketing spend — that's impressive. I'm facing a similar challenge with my AI marketing agent. What I found is that the client side is always harder because they need to see ROI before committing. Have you tried reaching out directly to small business owners who already post jobs on Upwork or Fiverr? They're already "activated" — they know they need freelancers, you just need to show them your platform is faster. Curious what channels you've tried so far.
I like the colour theme. I will check it out
