A high end upwork or elance that only has semi vetted developers, e.g those with github commits > 100.

A simpler and cheaper version of meetedgar.com that keeps retweeting my blog posts on auto pilot.

What is the pricing at meetedgar.com? And what features they have that are essential and what are disposable?

Their site seems to be purposefully opaque regarding these points.

Starts at $50 per month. You need to setup a "library" of blog posts (yours and others) and it will keep retweeting them on autopilot. I want something for $10 per month that simply connects to my blog and retweets posts all day. I'd imagine many bloggers would want it as well.
I was thinking about that these days. If I build it, will you be my first customer?
Toptal, gigster.
have you used toptal before?
Gigster and toptal a) have their own vetting mechanism that misses out on lots of good developers, b) charge a premium for that which is unnecessary, and c) are a service not a platform.

What I want is a lightweight platform where any github dev can showcase their code and say hire me for x. I don't want any third party vetting. Github itself could do this. We need a better freelance marketplace.
