Product demo: a work post by Maya Ortiz, a product designer marked as available, showing her redesign of Ravel's onboarding — nine setup steps down to four. A verified result card shows setup completion rising from 34% to 52%, confirmed by Ravel. The post has a “Hire Maya” button, and Dana Whitfield, a founder, has sent a project inquiry: “This is exactly our drop-off problem. Are you free in October?”

01 — The problem

Marketplaces turned your craft into a queue.

You don't lose the job because the work isn't good. You lose it because you're the 124th proposal nobody reads.

The proposal treadmill

today
  1. Find job
  2. Write proposal
  3. Compete with 100 people
  4. Wait
Illustration of a typical marketplace job post: “Need onboarding redesign — SaaS dashboard” with 124 proposals, an unclear budget and 8 credits to apply. Two generic copy-paste proposals are shown, plus 122 more, and the client was last seen 6 days ago.

You pay to apply, you write for free, and your best work sits in a PDF nobody opens.

The Workly loop

instead
  1. Build
  2. Share
  3. Get discovered
  4. Talk
  5. Get hired
Product demo: Noah Reyes, an AI engineer, posts a completed project — a support agent for Fernpost that resolves tier-1 tickets end to end, shown resolving a refund request in 41 seconds. It deflected 41% of tickets, has 96 likes and 14 comments, and Priya Raman, Fernpost's founder, comments that they are hiring Noah again.

The loop we're testing: show the work → get discovered → start a conversation → get hired.

02 — How it works

One loop. Three moments.

  1. 01Show your work

    Post what you're building. Screens, clips, decisions, numbers.

    Product demo: Emma Lind composing a work-in-progress post — “Third pass at the Ravel dashboard nav — saved views instead of filters” — with an unfinished dashboard screenshot attached, about to be posted to Emma's followers.

  2. 02People react to it

    Peers critique the craft. Founders start watching, and the work compounds into proof.

    Product demo: reactions to Emma Lind's post. Alex Mercer asks a technical question and Ravi Kapoor, a founder, has now saved three of Emma's posts. The post shows load time improved from 4.1s to 1.2s and 22 saves.

  3. 03Get hired

    A client who already saw the work starts the conversation.

    Product demo: a message thread. Dana Whitfield, founder of Tally, writes after seeing the onboarding post: same nine-step problem. The freelancer agrees to a call on Thursday, and Dana sends a $4,000, three-week scope — no proposal needed, because the Worklog already made the case.

03 — The product

Your work becomes your reputation.

Scroll the feed, open a project, read the profile, start the conversation.

Animated product demo of the Workly feed. Posts scroll by: Liam Novak shares a completed Kesta transfer flow (drop-off down 26%), Emma Lind asks for feedback on two empty states, and Alex Mercer posts work in progress on subscription recovery for Tally (17% of failed subscriptions recovered). Opening Alex's post shows the profile — available in 2 weeks, with past billing projects and a founder's recommendation — and a “Hire Alex” sheet offers a fixed-scope, three-week project with no proposal needed.
Product demo stats: this week Alex got 48 more profile views, 3 client messages and 1 project inquiry.
Product demo: on Alex's billing post, Noah asked about retry windows, Maya saved the dunning copy and Dana started a conversation.

Posts don't expire

A job post dies when it's filled. A body of work keeps getting found.

04 — For freelancers

Your best work should be out working for you.

  • Post once, get found for months

    Every project you share stays searchable, attributable and yours.

  • An audience that includes buyers

    Peers critique the craft. Founders follow, then come back with budget.

  • Availability clients can act on

    Flip one switch and everyone watching your work knows you're open.

Claim your early profile
Product demo: Maya Ortiz's profile — a product designer focused on SaaS onboarding with 1,204 followers, available in October. Recent work includes the Ravel onboarding redesign (completion 34% to 52%) and Tally activation emails (+21% signup completion). Notifications show a new project inquiry from a SaaS founder and Sarah Blake following the Worklog.

05 — For clients

Stop reading proposals. Start looking at work.

Search a problem, not a job title. Results lead with shipped work and what changed — no bids, no résumés.

I'm hiring talent
Product demo: a client searches “SaaS onboarding designer”, filtered to available people with measured outcomes in B2B SaaS. 11 people match, sorted by shipped work. The top result is Maya Ortiz, with 4 SaaS onboarding projects for Ravel, Tally, Kesta and Fernpost and a recent +21% signup-completion result; Liam Novak is next but booked until November.

06 — Built around work

Built around work, not personalities.

No hot takes, no motivational threads. Every post is about something you made.

  • Example: an unfinished Ravel dashboard with the empty state still in progress and a comment pinned on it asking about saved views.

    Work in Progress

    Unfinished on purpose. People follow the build.

  • Example: a shipped Kesta transfer flow — six steps before, two taps after.

    Completed Project

    Shipped, with the number attached.

  • Example: an old checkout with card, address, VAT and coupon fields next to a new one-tap checkout that remembers the address.

    Before → After

    The clearest post format there is.

  • Example: two empty-state options put to a vote — option B wins 19 to 4 — with Maya explaining why.

    Ask for Feedback

    Peers, not applause.

The Worklog

The work, while it's happening.

A Worklog is a running thread on one project. Post as you go; when you ship, Workly folds it into a finished case study.

  • Followers get the updates, not a highlight reel
  • Clients see how you think, not just the final frame
Product demo: Emma Lind's Worklog for the Ravel dashboard redesign, followed by 142 people. Day 1: audit of the current navigation. Day 3: two navigation models tested with six users. Day 5: Ravi Kapoor, Ravel's founder, says to ship the saved-views option. Day 7: shipped, with 61% adoption in week one. The thread then folds into a finished case study: 7 updates, 4 screens, saved-view adoption 61%.

07 — Early access

Built with freelancers and founders, not assumptions.

Workly is pre-launch — no testimonials, no logos, no member counter. What we hear in validation calls goes straight into the product.

What we're testing right now

  • Does posting work in public actually produce inquiries?
  • Will clients hire from a Worklog without a proposal?
  • What proof do founders trust when there are no reviews?
