I could be misunderstanding, but is this also supposed to be a database of "clients" looking for devs or no? Basically, I'm missing the link between clients and devs. Like if I have a few spare hours here and there to do some coding on the side and want to get paid for it, can I just search for clients that posted cool projects and are paying by PR? Because conversely, if I have to find and bring my own clients into this system then I totally fail to see the benefit.

It's a tool for working with clients. Developers get instant payment, auto invoicing, and escrow, while clients get a convenient way to track your work.

After we improve our PR payout tool, our next big feature is a PR Solutions marketplace. This will help link clients to developers.

Ok. I think that would be incredible to have a website where you could just search for projects and features within projects then just get paid per PR to implement that specific feature/bug fix.
