Thanks for sharing your story! Great interview. I noticed you dropped the price from $50 to $20. Out of curiosity, why?

Also, any chance you could bump up the font size and/or contrast of the text? My old geek eyes are having a bit of difficultly reading the site.

Thanks again!

I'm still experimenting to find the right price point that maximizes quality job postings. I've had it at $0 and had to delete a few. One person posted an ad for what appeared to be a technology cult even (deleted).

I've been asked to bump the font size by a few people and have to defer to ctrl+ (win) cmd+ (mac) for now. I'm dog fooding this site and 14pt "courier new" is what I like best.

Yes - that was very helpful. I did not increase the font-size (yet, still not thrilled about that), but I did make the body text and muted text blacker. Here's a before and after

The difference is subtle, but it's an improvement in my opinion.

I like it. That, plus some ⌘+'s, have helped. I didn't mention it before, but I also appreciate the bright yellow hover/active state over job links.

Before feels better. But that's just my opinion
