they have a "featured" profile here:

But I agree that requiring Facebook is always a big turn off of many people ( me included )



Ahh, quite right. I've deleted my comment as I can see that there is a demo of sorts.

I don't know how I missed this on the first try. Maybe it should be more prominent. I simply wanted to check out the site and the two biggest things staring me in the face were that I was a developer or a company. Both of these required something I wasn't willing to give up: Facebook login or company details including email.

It would still be nice to see some sort of actual demo of the process or how it works without having to provide that kind of information rather than an example portfolio.


Reasons I didn't sign up for a trial:

* Got Faceblocked.

* No obvious demo until I looked here.

* Demo profile suggests it's iOS-only.

* Demo profile has flawed animations.


Will fix all these issues in the next release. Thanks glimcat.

Reg faceblocked: we'll let you create a portfolio without auth. To get freelance gigs though, you'll need to either FB auth or Linkedin auth.

Reg Demo: redesigning landing page

Reg demo profile: will add a few more demo profiles.

Reg flawed animations: could you be more specific?


Not sure is this is what gp meant, but the cycle of screenshots through the iphone screen slide in and out over the whole screenshot of the phone, not just the screen portion.

You should be able to pretty easily play with the positioning and width of the carousel to fix it so they just slide across the screen.


The animation of the images sliding goes off the sides of the phone's display area. It would be nice if it were a bit slower as well.

Sounds good, I'll flag it to check out again later.


We should make that featured portfolio a bit more prominent. Thanks for the feedback!


definitely should put up a screenshot or example of a profile on the homepage. please don't expect me to commit and login with my fb info unless i know exactly what i'm getting
