Hi Alex, i like the Idea i`m def +1 on adding this and seeing how it plays out,
Just to play devils advocate, are there any plans to adjust the cut should the financial situation ever allow it at scale? I`m also wondering if connecting parties in need of direct/indirect work on/with the project with freelancers/companies surrounding the projects is on the horizon. -- Ronny Am 31.07.2018 um 08:14 schrieb Alex Georgie: > Hi everyone, > > I'm Alex from SeedAndDew.
