+# The Remote Freelancer
+List of community-curated resources to find topical remote freelance & contract work for software developers, web designers, and more!
+
+## Why
+This repo was inspired by [this Hacker News thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12773282) about one software developer's experience with Upwork. For all those who have had bad experiences with Upwork, I wanted to create a list of additional resources that software developers can use to find freelance, nomadic and contract work. 
+
+## Contributing
+Please please please contribute to the list! If you have freelance work available, or know someone who does, feel free to open a pull request to augment this list! If PRs come in quuite regularly I'll actually bother to create a website and backend for it.
+
+Thank you for looking :) Good hunting!
