I tried to create a similar service a couple of months ago but it didn't take off. Good luck to you.

I think it needs a lot of trust before people can start posting on our platform. For example- Upwork has built the reputation for that. So, bootstrappers like ourselves can't survive that period. I think that's the reason for my failure while creating that platform.

Small suggestion: you are calling it upwork but no signups for devs is a real bummer. If you aren't ready to take outside devs yet, at least put a waiting list where devs can put their email and other info to be contacted later.

True, To let people use the platform in the first place and to get to PMF is a challenge. On the waitlist thing, sure will add it.
