Freelancers and other software dev., can you help us out?
We are busy developing a platform to help freelancers and developers of all kinds communicate with clients and other non-technical team members. Can you take a couple mins to answer a few (less than 10) questions?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you! It is a great help to get feedback from people and we can't wait to share our solution and hope it helps people create great software.
I went to take this but it seems only geared towards freelancers or consultants, not any kind of developer like the post says. I'm sort of interested but have never done either.
I'm sorry. So, what are you interested in that we didn't cover? Apparently we missed something that we should think about.Thanks for letting me know, we always want to learn and get better.
Does clients refer to outside of company or also internal, nontechnical people? Team could also be the whole company or just developers. Our product/dev team doesn't really communicate with users, at least right now. Clients (paying users) aren't setting our requirements. In terms of the startup I work at, I can only really answer 2, maybe 3 of these questions. I'd be more likely to submit if name/email wasn't required too. I think I'm not your target audience ie are you actually targeting developers "of all kinds"? Sorry if this isn't helpful feedback!
You're right, it doesn't sound like your team isn't in our target (yet). We do plan to branch to internal teams, but are targeting freelancers and dev. shops first. That is my fault for being vague in the description. Thanks for taking the time to let me know though and keep an eye out, we may be able to help in your situation too once we launch.
Sure thing! I'm building something similar. I'm quite excited about the freelancer market. Cheers!
Thank you. Yes, it is ripe for improvement. We are excited as well about it, hope your project goes well for you.
Thanks, Adam! I agree. My theory is that a lot of software is geared towards bigger teams and not the individual freelancer. This focus on teams is probably due to there being more money in it, but then what happens to the solo freelancer?
Ya same with dev. shops. Also our real focus is on the giant gap between technical and non-technical people when developing software. We were (are) a firm for a long time and have found some pretty interesting things to help everyone communicate and be truly agile (the real agile dev.). We look forward to you and others giving us a shot when we launch.
