Launched Preface! A remote hiring tool

It was about a year ago when I decided to learn how to code. At the time I didn't know what I was going to build, but as a Product Designer, I knew that I wanted to make stuff.
A few months down I was trying to find a freelance developer to do some simple WordPress work. It ended up taking me more time to find the right person than it took him to complete the job. So I built Preface; a tool that helps entrepreneurs hire remote freelancers.
I launched the public beta this week ⚡️⚡️⚡️ You can check it out at preface.nu. I also made a cool video to go with it:
Wow! I love this idea so much for smaller businesses and freelancers. Please keep us updated on the progress.
How has the process been to find the first users (both on the developer side and the customer side)?
Thanks! Preface was featured on Betalist and that generated most of the sign ups.

Hey, I'm starting to build up nohq.co and would love to list this and take it for a test spin. Think you could give me an account with some demo data? (I don't have to pay anyone) :)
Sure thing, I'll set up a demo account and send you the details later today. Of course, you can also already register and start exploring the interface.
I had a quick look at your content and it's very relevant to my target audience. Would love to discuss it in more detail.
Congrats, nice design can you please share tips for designing similar UI.
Thanks! I started with wireframes and then created a light-weight design system made up of buttons, input fields, etc. I then recreated the design components (symbols) in React and applied them to my wireframes.
This setup works well for me because whenever I create some new functionality I don't have to design mockups any more. I just create wireframes (sketches) and then apply my React components to them.
So I basically created a nice looking UI once and then focussed the rest of my time on functionality. Saved me a ton of time.
