Question 1

Is this a marketplace?

Accepted Answer

No. vibecodejobs is a curated job board, not a managed marketplace. We review submissions for quality, then clients and developers work directly with each other.

Question 2

Why do I need to pay $1 to post or apply?

Accepted Answer

The $1 fee filters out low-effort spam and keeps the board high-signal. It is intentionally small, but enough to discourage noise from both sides.

Question 3

Do you take commission on contracts?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not take a cut of project payments. Clients and developers negotiate terms and handle payment directly.

Question 4

How are developers approved?

Accepted Answer

Developer profiles are reviewed manually. We look for clear skills, social proof, and evidence of shipped work before approving visibility.

Question 5

How are jobs approved?

Accepted Answer

Jobs are manually reviewed for clarity and substance. Listings with vague scope, budget, timeline, or expected outcomes can be rejected.

Question 6

Are job listings public and searchable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Approved jobs are public and indexable, with stable URLs designed for search discoverability.

Question 7

Are developer profiles public and indexed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Approved developer profiles are publicly accessible and indexed by search engines so clients can discover developers directly.

Question 8

Do you provide escrow, contracts, or project management?

Accepted Answer

No. The platform does not provide escrow, milestone tooling, or managed workflows. It is built for direct connection, not workflow mediation.

Question 9

Can I message directly on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Logged-in users can message directly once they're in the system, so both sides can quickly discuss fit and terms.

Question 10

What happens if a job expires?

Accepted Answer

Expired or closed jobs are removed entirely. Their URLs return a not-found page — they are not kept live with a noindex tag.
