    We recently launched TAP (https://tap.inc). Any feedback is very much appreciated. At TAP, we are building a new platform for freelancers. Because the platform is brand new, any feedback given could directly impact the future development of the platform. If you are a freelancer, which feature(s) would you like to see that would help in your career? Job board, invoicing, project management, etc. We want to hear from you. On a technical note, the stack for TAP is jamstack (react, gatsby, netlify, heroku, hasura), auth0 and stripe. The entire backend is micro-services based using netlify lambda functions. Thanks!

    This is very good sir especially the user experience. The 20+ years of experience is clearly visible! Can you please tell me how much approximate time and money does it require to build such a platform?

    @deepak_positive Thanks for the kind words. The initial app was built by 5 very talented people on our team: 1) designer - Catherine Savitch (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cath...) 2) copywriter - Rai Cornell (https://www.linkedin.com/in/raic...) 3) front-end developer - Adam Bezemek (@adam_bezemek - https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam...) 4) myself as the back-end developer and CTO (https://www.linkedin.com/in/coch...) 5) CEO - Daniel Gerow (@daniel_gerow2 - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dani...) ...with various input and ideas from industry veterans. Development started in April 6th so thats roughly 3 months for the initial app full time between the team. I don't have the numbers for the cost, but I'd expect it to be reasonable considering the time and people involved. I think we accomplished a great deal considering the time and what all was involved.
