I looked at the available writers on the platform. They all have broken english in their descriptions. I know it's hard to set up a marketplace but you might want to make sure your early providers have at least the bare minimum of skill someone would hire

This will change as we drive more freelancers to the platform. There's a review/rating system in place which will allow for quality of freelancers to show over time.
Like how Upwork "works"?
There's an issue, where high quality freelancer, doesn't want to apply for low paying/quality jobs to build credibility on the platform. Potential solutions are in development - one having to do with a blockchain identity hence the partnership with Hypermine https://cryptotask.medium.com/new-partnership-cryptotask-hyp...
The fundamental issue may be that most high quality developers don't need or use platforms like this.
We plan on forming partnerships with companies posting jobs under cryptocurrencyjobs.co and similar boards. High quality jobs founds and other growth methods who target both companies and freelancers, alongside easy and secure way to get paid in crypto will draw attention to CryptoTask and I believe, freelancers, who are highly skilled in what they do, will want to be found on CryptoTask's platform.
It could be worth finding good performers from other sites and subsidizing them on the new platform to provide the initial pool.
