🚀 Launching Outcode today 🚀

After 2 month full-time on this, I’m excited to be launching today with this post. 2 months may seem like a little while, and it’s true I’ve spent a bit of time:

  • iterating on the value proposition by talking to people ( a good thing !)
  • coding the MVP ( a not-so-good thing : I now think I should’ve launched with a more basic website than what I ended up to it/ Even though I (barely) have the skills to code first version of the platform myself, it’s more than often not worth it to spend 2 month coding something solely based on intuition and without some kind of validation… )

So what’s it about ?

If you’ve ever hired freelancers for software projects, you probably have had a reliability issue: whether it’s the availability of the right person, their coding or communications skills, ability to respect deadlines or budget, honesty, etc. Outcode enables you to reliablyresort to freelancers for your project by acting as a trusted middleman.

You only talk to us (ie designers and project managers) and we take care of finding the best fit for the job and of managing the project for you, while keeping an eye on budget, deadline and code quality. Then we simply come back to you with the deliverable done. :) We charge less than traditional freelancing platforms (and they just enable you to hire a freelancer through them. )

What do you guys think of the value proposition ?
If you have an idea you want to have built, I’m here for you and will make sure to see it through to completion myself. You can benefit from 50% off on the fees with the code IHLAUNCH for you first task, no matter how big.

Thanks for checking it out, I hope to see you on https://outcode.io !

    @tollie93 Not bad! Congratulations on your launch. Hard work paying off.

    A couple bits of feedback:

    1. Guarantee is misspelled as guaranty on the front page.
    2. On the Become a Dev page, there is no way to actually sign up to be a dev (I was considering signing up).
    3. I particularly like your concept of the Standard Tasks Repository where you can submit code to the library and license it and given a commission on future uses of it. I think this is quite potentially a viral hook that will land you a lot of developers (assuming you can keep the quality control high here).
    4. Cool name, I think it's very relevant, simple, and memorable.
    5. How are you going to reach people who want to hire?

      Hey @kevinelliott, thanks so much for the thorough feedback ! Much appreciated. All the above has been corrected. Let's absolutely discuss and see how you could freelance with us for when the demand (hopefully) starts flowing in. :) About reaching customers, I believe there is strong demand for talented devs out there and I'll do it very manually at first, kind of like a new freelancer would. This week will try and post on the 'traditional' channels : facebook, HN, product hunt, etc.

        Not sure if it was misspelled somewhere else as well, but it is still misspelled in step 3, though, as well as the spelling mistake the line itself makes no sense We enforce is a 15 days, no questions asked money back guaranty. Maybe something like We offer a 15 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee.

          fixed, thanks a lot for the heads up!

            We enforce is a 15 days still makes no sense :)
