I launched a simple site for devs to complete small tasks and get paid. It has received 3k visits in the first 12 hours.

Hello indie hackers, this is a little rant post.

I am an independent developer. I earn my living on the Internet by completing small dev tasks for other entrepreneurs and companies. One thing I learned from doing this work over a year is that most big sites are bloated with overwhelming requirements for devs and clients to work together.

I wanted to create a simple lean solution for this. People can post bounties and devs can apply to them via the required medium. Kind of like a job board but for small gigs. No unnecessary bloats.

So, I quickly coded an MVP and put it on my Twitter, Reddit, and HN.

The project immediatley took off among dev communities. Within 12 hours of launching 3k devs have visited the site and shared positive comments. And I am excited about it.

I wanted to create something that can benefit dev community and also the entrepreneurs to easily get their tasks done. But there is also a bottleneck in my idea that it can't scale, but I am well intentional about it too. I want to keep it true to my vision: enable devs to get paid for completing gigs and earn nice side income in a hassle free way.

It's been a long since I wrote anything here, so I wanted to share this story with you. I will appreciate some roast of the idea from you fellow entrepreneurs.

Also, I am very happy to mention that the site has made its first sale within 24 hours of launching. It literally made my day.

Thanks.
