⚠️ SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE AND REPOST ⚠️
Hey everyone, please share and repost this to keep our community safe! I want to quickly flag a highly sophisticated scam currently targeting freelancers here on Contra.
I was recently approached by a profile representing "DeCruiz Labs" (claiming to look for talent for a Web3/software project). After a bit of digging, it turns out this is a known malicious campaign.
How it works: They offer a legitimate-looking freelance gig, but during the vetting process, they will try to send you a link to a GitHub repository or a file archive containing their "project code" or "assignment" for you to review.
DO NOT download or run this code locally. It contains malware designed to instantly drain crypto wallets, steal browser cookies, and compromise your credentials.
Please hit the repost button so this reaches as many freelancers as possible before anyone loses their data or funds.

Take care. Something similar happened to me — it's really sad to see this happen, and not only here; many platforms have similar issues. Stay safe!

Another job opportunity landed in my inbox, but unfortunately, my calendar has already filed a restraining order against new projects. 😄
If anyone is interested, feel free to grab it. Hopefully, this helps someone find their next great gig!
Great opportunity
An independent on Mably has been running a real client project, library, discussions, all of it.
Then she messaged us:
"My client replied with a comment/feedback which is great and now I'm sending her a revision. Just wondering how I can attach a file to my comment so that everything is in the same discussion."
Read that again. Her client had already replied in the thread. Feedback was in the right place. The revision was ready. She just had nowhere to attach the file without breaking the flow.
So we shipped it, attach in the discussion, and it lands in the library. Same thread, same project, no email detour.
That’s the point. Features like this aren’t really for freelancers. They’re for the person on the other side, the client who shouldn’t have to hunt through inboxes to find the latest version. When the experience feels clear and calm for them, you look organized, reliable, and worth hiring again. Client experience isn’t a nice extra. It’s the product.
We build from real usage like this, not hypotheticals.
If you haven’t looked at Mably yet, we’re still in early access with 75% off locked in for life for the first 50 founding members. When those spots are gone, that’s it.
Worth a look if client portals are on your mind.

😊 💯 I’m excited to share that my Contra profile is now ranked in the top 10% of creatives with a score of 111 pts. 🎯
This milestone means a lot because it reflects the quality, consistency, and care I put into every project I work on. From building clean, scalable web platforms to creating smooth user experiences, my goal is always to help clients turn their ideas into reliable digital products. 💻✨
Let’s build something great together. 🌍🔥
