Really liked how these designs turned out!
Explored a concept for AI SaaS product, focusing on a clean interface and a simple, intuitive chat experience.
Tried two different layout variation for the hero section.
Which would you like?
I like the second layout more — the headline "Your ideas deserve an intelligent partner" + the chat preview below makes the AI feel real and easy to use immediately. The first one is also clean, but this one sells the product faster.
Looking for Advice: How Can I Get My First Project on Contra?
Hi everyone! 👋
I joined Contra with the hope of finding exciting freelance opportunities and working with clients from around the world. However, since creating my account, I haven't been able to land my first project yet.
I'm a frontend developer with skills in React, Next.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. I'm continuously working on improving my skills and building projects to showcase my abilities.
I'd love to hear from experienced freelancers and other developers here:
What helped you land your first client on Contra?
How important are portfolio projects and profile optimization?
Are there any tips for getting noticed by potential clients?
I'm here to learn, connect, and grow as a freelancer. Any genuine advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Built myself a little command center for my freelance work this week. It’s called Bench.
Contra handles the contracts and payments, but my day-to-day was scattered across Contra chats, Gmail, my calendar, Notion, and a notes app. So I pulled it all into one place:
• A dashboard showing what needs me today: unread messages, overdue tasks, past-due invoices, leads that have gone quiet
• Each project gets its own page with scope, deliveries, tasks, links, and the full message thread from Contra and email
• A pipeline for leads, including a “Ghosted” column, because we’ve all been there
• A time tracker for the hourly stuff
• It syncs with my Contra projects and invoices every morning
Curious how other freelancers here keep track of everything. Spreadsheets? Notion? Pure chaos?
