I signed up, but Open Tasks is empty right now. It might be interesting to report info about completed tasks---to give an idea of the prices and type of PRs being requested.

This is an interesting idea with several possibility of incentives: project owner, project users, or companies employers could sponsor these PRs.

Also could be useful for learning/tutoring---formulate a question you're stuck on as an Issue and let an expert show you the way with an educational PR.




Many tasks had been grabbed in the last 2 hours since this post is on HN front page, however I still see several available tasks. Do you see it totally empty (which implies a bug) or by empty do you mean "just a few"?


Mine is empty = zero tasks as well.


Oh, I see. I bet you're looking at the "open tasks" while in the "clients dashboard"... to grab tasks and work on them you need to get to the "developers" perspective, which is done by hovering on your profile image on the top-left and a menu will appear ...


I'd suggest making that more obvious somehow. Before seeing this comment, I had no idea how to see open tasks that are looking for developers to take.


Same problem here. Sign-in with github was very nice. Then drops me into the dashboard. Open tasks are 0. Its a UX dead end.
