Okay, product looks amazing, it has countless pros (great UI, great idea, exection, good visuals etc), so I'll just focus on the critiques/cons.
As an UX designer, I believe there is some room for improvement.
1. Is the product fully launched? or do I get more options once my profile its approved?
Its a bit confusing, for example: I couldn't find any social links -- I was naturally looking for a footer on your website but didn't find one with all of the info as usual.
2. Its also kinda limiting that the whole Contra experience (at least for non-approved profiles) has not much features. Even by going to contra.com, it redirects me to my profile where I can just view/add projcets. The icons on the header (ones that aren't locked), also don't really explain what they do, when I click them it just says to continue building my profile. For now I can't edit anything except my birthday.
3. There are some features that are also not (yet) presented, at least. For example, when I write a company name when creating a project, if there is no such company it asks me to create such entity (asks for display pic etc). But then once I do it, its over. I have no idea what these "companies" do, and I can't edit what I've created (I uploaded a wrong display pic for it by mistake).
With further analysis I believe I'll also find other tiny aspects like these. Its understandable if we get a lot more options once profiles are approved, but I'd prefer to be less confused about Contra as a new user. If this is on purpose, to make the platform "mysterious", so hyped users would get back, then I guess it did its purpose.
How long does it take to approve a profile btw? I've completed my profile and submitted it 2-3 days ago but still no response.
I'm also open for any kind of collaborations, feel free to hit me up! Thank you for your hard work and I wish you great success!

Love it! My only complaint is that you're not able to freely explore talent. In order to browse, you have to add your profile, and a budget, and project, etc. The showcase was a nice touch, but too limited. I'm the type that likes to explore more!

The onboarding process for Contra is exemplary! There is one issue I faced in the add Payment Method flow which I just contacted your support about. Looking forward to seeing how the Contra grows! 🤓
