   Upwork is unmatched

   Although this app, sometimes gets me to my worst... I think it's only fair to call them the best work from home site.

• EU NGI TALER will bring private and secure online payments to the Eurozone

  Flattr was a kind of a version of that (although billed as "donations"), and it recently shut down. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Paying Netflix $0.53/H, etc.

  There was https://flattr.com/ and, more recently, https://twitter.com/coil But, yes, a complete chicken-and-egg problem. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Startup ideas that you'll never do?

  I think Flattr does exactly this https://flattr.com/ but it looks like they may have changed their business model recently. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Show HN: StackAid – fund 100s of open source dependencies with one subscription

  This kind of looks like https://flattr.com/ but specifically for dev/dependencies. Not sure I like that there's "only" a two-month limit in which funds can be claimed, though. Some developers could be very busy or get caught up with other stuff and not hear about their accumulated funds before the "expire". Some might also think it's a phishing scam if they haven't heard of StackAid before. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Patreon cuts deep inside creators’ pockets

  I think this is one of the problems flattr tries to solve. Instead of multiple micro transactions you make one larger transaction each month to flattr, who then divides it up to all the creators you want to support. I don't know how Patreon does it, if they make one charge for each creator you support I guess the transactions fees can become a large part of the total amount. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• I was an actual shill for 9 months, AMA

  If you are learning web development, goto upwork.com and start doing projects. Your old projects & code is a lot more valuable than some references from a company. Source: 5 months ago

• Insulin pens are driving me bonkers

  I just wanted to say, for anyone reading this far: this is the sort of thing you can hire a programmer to whip up for you to carry around on your phone. u/dark_rug just up and did it, but for anybody else finding themselves with a little spreadsheet to do calculations that they want to work on their phone or in the browser, you can go to a service like upwork.com and put out a request for bids from contract...

• Freelancing as a Civil Engineer!

  Hello, I'm in need of some extra money for the holidays, and looking to find freelance work. I'm a PE licensed in NC & SC. I haven't had much luck with upwork.com. I've submitted proposals to the few jobs posted in NC/SC but haven't had a proposal accepted. Source: 5 months ago

• Almost got scammed AGAIN within 2 weeks of first scam

  DO NOT take job offers from Justin Hill on upwork.com, he is not real. Source: 5 months ago

• Remodel App?

  I recommend upwork.com. Load your project, people from around the bid on it. I have had great experience every time I use it. Source: 10 months ago
