I taught myself Rails in 8 weeks, and launched this: Freelancify

Take a look at the comment formatting, see for example: https://www.freelancify.com/projects/1-craigslist-search-scr... .

The app does not replace new lines with <br />s or <p></p>s.

Might be a good idea to auto-link urls in the comments as well: https://github.com/tenderlove/rails_autolink

And while I'm still at it: Why can't I both hire workers and bid for projects using one account?

Say that I want to outsource some work on my project x while still wanting to bid on someone's project y?

james-fendOP14y ago

great question. would be nice to do that, going to have to somehow implement that here in the next weeks.

Knowing your previous skill and knowledge would give more context. Did you know any other languages? etc

james-fendOP14y ago

Yep. I was a designer for a few years before, so I knew html/css from scratch. Had absolutely no clue about programming when I started. I will probably make a blog post detailing exactly how my progress was here a bit later.

If you dont mind sharing, how do you handle escrows?
