Thanks! If you have any feedback on what to change/add/remove I'm happy to hear it!

I suspect a fair few of the short to long-term contract positions I see advertised are to cover someone's parental leave.

Content though definitely. I tend to see more short-term/part-time content creation positions than I do eng ones.

True enough, but a fair few require at least some commitment every day. For some that's not as easy of a commitment to make, but I totally see your point.

Great idea. I'll get on this. Thanks!

Hey all!

I recently had some personal stuff which made it necessary for me to cut back on the hourly commitment I could make to work, but found it difficult to find contract, part-time, freelance (anything not full-time) jobs through traditional means, so I built sidequestjobs.

It's an aggregator, so it gets jobs from various sources and curates them into part time, freelance, or contract based positions. I'm hoping to add more sources over the next coming weeks, but I wanted to post it to get some feedback now.

Thanks for checking it out!

Depending on what you need and your traffic, a simple $5 Digital Ocean droplet with a nginx reverse proxy in front of Django would do the trick. It'd still let you run sqlite, but Django's pretty powerful when you give it postgres (which you could also run in the droplet).

Exactly. A ton of Toronto devs I know have left for the US. The base salaries are higher, and the exchange rate only adds more.

Haha good point. I'll rewrite this. Thanks!

Hey this is a great idea. When I get a free chance I'll see if I can publish a report on it. Thanks!

Groups are a good idea, but my concern is how do I decide what ages fit in each group, could the categorization be different for different cultures

Bang on about the 14 year olds believing it. I rejected any notion that I didn't know everything at that age.

That's not a bad idea, thanks for the advice!

Thanks!

Thanks! I wanted to name it something similar but all the good domains were taken, so instead I settled for a veiled The Office reference.

Trying to get contributions from older generations is tough, but would likely provide the best advice. I need to find a few media sources to submit to that target this age group.

Hey thanks for the feedback. The registration form is a pain, I implemented SSO/oAuth with Google a few days ago in the hopes that more people would register.

Email and username is a good call, thanks. I had never thought about that kind of flow before, but that's interesting, encourage people to submit advice, then ask for registration. Think I might do that. Thanks!

Hey thanks for the feedback - really appreciate it.

I struggled with the idea of creating a page for every age. I eventually settled on the idea that people could take the platform anywhere they wanted to, whether it was passing generic advice along, or sending themselves a very specific message at a specific time in their life. That being said, it's kind of cool to see the ages that mean the most to people.

I like your idea with the short description - do you mind if I quote your example?
