The Bounty Desk

Post a Bounty

Got a job you want done? Read the rules of the Desk, then send it over. I read every proposal and post the ones that fit.

The rules of the Desk

  1. One job, one reward. Say plainly what you want done and what you'll pay (cash, trade, whatever — just be clear).
  2. The description is the contract. Work is judged only against what you wrote — not your taste. If a turn-in does what the description says, it wins the bounty, even if it's not what you pictured. Write the spec you'd be happy to receive literally.
  3. So make "done" precise and testable. "Make me a beautiful logo" is not a spec — beauty is subjective, and a 2-minute scribble for your business technically satisfies it. "A 512×512 transparent PNG logo containing X, Y and Z" is a spec. The tighter you write it, the closer you'll get to what you actually want.
  4. I'm the judge, and I judge by the spec. I decide whether a turn-in meets the description, and I'll accept any that does — even over the poster's objections. Disliking the result isn't grounds to reject it; an unmet requirement is.
  5. Pay what you promise. The Desk runs on trust. Name a reward you'll actually hand over.
  6. Keep it legal and clean. No work that's illegal, harmful, or that I wouldn't want my name next to.
  7. I curate. This is my board. I may post, edit, hold, or decline any proposal.
  8. Everything's in the open. When your bounty is live, all turn-ins and the public Q&A are visible to everyone — that's how hunters know what's been tried and what's still up for grabs.

Sending a proposal isn't a guarantee it gets posted. I'll reach out using the contact you leave.
