    Hi all !

    I'm a freelance programmer. Although it feels exciting when you get a freelance gig, the process of checking job sites to find one is pretty time consuming and boring. As a result, I spent 2 days to code a very simple tool, to help freelancers keep track of newest job posts on popular freelance bidding sites:

    http://www.lancepost.com


    Yeah I know it doesn't look great, but the functionality is great! You can choose which category you want to subscribe to, and just hit Subscribe! So basically you'll only need one feed and still be able to keep yourself informed of newest projects related to your field. Isn't it great?!

    For now I don't care much about the design, because it just looks nice and simple that way. I need your opinion on how to improve its usability :)

    I can't wait to hear from you ;)

    Gary Cao.

    I think it's brilliant! I love the fact that you can subscribe to just a certain category - you've thought of every detail! The only (minor) suggestion I can come up with is to add some space in between the title and the slogan. Keep up the good work! :)

    By the way, let me know if you ever decide to sell copies of this script! ;)

    The new design looks great, but I don't know.. I think it was a tad bit easier to find the information we are looking for in the old version. But either way, it's a very useful site!
