RE: SteemGigs is coming SOON - Can we avoid the pitfalls of other freelance websites?
I will i contact you to hear your thoughts when it is time. Thank you for adding this. I do pacing alot so i am in no rush. Discord is more like a waiting area. There was no rush in getting to an interface. Alot has gone on to build a model and a community that is known to me tested in open ground on steemit post and that is where the power lies more than in anything else. I have also done history on steemit and have also a special perception of steemit and humans and life, "no books" involved, so there is no rush. The substance of many things is more in the tiny elements of it, so we let it run in the open ground, in the face of hassle to take the testimonial high route. #untalented is part of this model. The last untalented contest had more than 1000 entries and more than 6k comment and all this endeavor is a learning process. It may not be clear that it is all tied and that is where unadulterated feedback comes from. The aim is to reach billions and each human. build dreams for people, so steemgigs is more than a freelance marketplace. I know naija, i know afang, i know nkwobi, so what we are working on is something bigger than a freelance marketplace. The world out there may not know it but the places we are from know it. If you read my last post, you will understand clearly what the vision is. We want to have room for flaws and channel it aright, we want to have disputes and resolve it, we want to have issues and forgive is where we are headed. On steemgigs, i used to solve disputes with my own money. We sift the notsogood to find good in it, is where we are headed. These things is bigger than a freelancing marketplace. @teardrops, surpassinggoogle.com and untalented, steemgigs are all tied. The interfaces will ever evolve. "Everyone having something to offer". Interfaces is a tool. Where we are from a tool is a bonus, for things can still happen without a tool. We aren't aiming to build freelancers, we are at aiming at the awesomest version of human which is a gift to humanity everytime. Everyone does have talent, "human" is the edge.

Thank you for reaching out and providing the links. I have read some of them but obviously I haven't been involved in every step of the way so I am happy to contribute and help in the best way I can.
I have seen how untalented has transformed so many people's lives and I believe in the vision, @teardrops is also something that is uniquely different. I am definitely looking forward and you are right there is no rush to get it out as long as we get it right :)
