    Hi HN,

    Wanted to show you all what I've made. Nanojob is a job board for micro tasks. I came up with the idea because I was often overwhelmed working on startups as a solo founder. I found other freelance sites too bloated and cumbersome. What I wanted was a minimal job board that would let me just fire off quick tasks from my to-do list, and so I decided to build it.

    I welcome any feedback and criticism. Please go easy though, it's just me working on it.

    This is a great idea, Good talent isn’t up to creating big projects, but doing little jobs on the side here and there is a totally different story.

    My experience with getting others todo things have been dismal and always feel like I should have just done it myself by the end of the experience.

    I’m wondering if some kind of vetting process for applicants could be done.

    The person posting the ad, then gets to select the price point based on experiences needed and there max budget.

    i.e Post redesign of home page budget:

    $500 - vetted 5+ years experience $300 - vetted 2+ $150 - anyone

    something along those lines, this gives everyone the ability to be involved and have a chance of winning the project and the poster to get what they pay for.

    Excellent idea. Will use it, when will see project(s) of my specialty.

    Just as usual, need lot of efforts for cold start. Mean, you need to somewhere got many different jobs and many people to do jobs, because now all looks as empty shop.

    I absolutely love this idea. Seems like there will be hard parts (building the market, fighting spam) but I think you could build something really cool here.

    Good luck!

    Maybe a way to connect users to their HN profile?
