Hey HN, we just launched MyRudius.com -- a completely new type of marketplace to find freelance gigs. I'd sincerely appreciate any feedback! Feel free to be blunt and honest...

There's definitely work to be done. It currently uses fairly out-of-the-box Twitter Boostrap, for one thing.

Thanks for any feedback available!

No problem, I hope you find something you like.

Your about page claims that you do not have ways for freelancers to ask questions about unclear project descriptions because "vague employers are unsafe anyway". Since employers are not paying anything to post projects, how can you ensure that they write detailed project descriptions?

Good point. I think that simply stating that somewhere on the "Post a New Project" page would help a bit. Beyond that, we have some ideas we're working through. Any suggestions?

Thanks again!

Good freelances get recommended word-of-mouth and are often approached for projects than being the ones approaching customers.

You service may be useful for beginners but being a long time freelancer myself, I don't see why I should use this service (or to be fair any other service to "bid").
