Take a look at the comment formatting, see for example: https://www.freelancify.com/projects/1-craigslist-search-scr... .

The app does not replace new lines with <br />s or <p></p>s.

Might be a good idea to auto-link urls in the comments as well: https://github.com/tenderlove/rails_autolink

Cool :). Forgot to say that it's a really solid site. I'm definitely impressed by the fact that you've picked up Rails so fast and implemented that entire site. Good work!

And while I'm still at it: Why can't I both hire workers and bid for projects using one account?

Say that I want to outsource some work on my project x while still wanting to bid on someone's project y?

Knowing your previous skill and knowledge would give more context. Did you know any other languages? etc

Yep. I was a designer for a few years before, so I knew html/css from scratch. Had absolutely no clue about programming when I started. I will probably make a blog post detailing exactly how my progress was here a bit later.
