The project

TSKR is a freelance marketplace built on fairness: a flat 5% fee on every completed project, no pay-to-win perks, and human support at every step.

Clients post a project in a few steps and follow it from their own dashboard. Freelancers browse and filter open projects, send proposals, chat with clients, and manage their contracts and earnings from theirs, protected from scope changes and unfair reviews.

My part was consultancy, not development: at the start I worked through the initial system design and architecture with my teammates, who then built it with Next.js, Twilio, Mongoose and Sockets.

The product

  • Open projects for everyone to browse, with search and filters
  • A step-by-step form for clients to post a project
  • Proposals with cover letters, attachments and bids
  • Real-time chat between clients and freelancers
  • Contracts with the payment held in escrow
  • Balances, bids and payouts for freelancers
  • A support centre with tickets
TSKR proposals a freelancer has sent, each with its fixed price, proposed cost and status
