Hello Thinkers on Steem,
There has been a lot of development going on top of Steem blockchain. The platform is evolving rapidly and a number of apps are being developed. We, at @steemlinked, are building yet another steem based app and looking forward to hear from you all about possible features, design etc.
Here is a short introduction of the app.
Problem domain : The current online community of professionals is distributed on various platforms like linkedIn, Quora, stack overflow, freelancer, fiverr, etc. While some platforms have been able to connect professionals around the globe, most of them are centralised and the professionals do not get any reward for their participation in the network, while charges for transactions for professional services are very high ranging from 5-25 % of the value of the service or in the form of monthly subscriptions, proposal credits and fees for the services.
Users are also subjected to paid marketing strategies and often stolen of their data.
Solution : At Steemlinked, we are trying to build a community where people get incentivized for their participation in the community via post rewards. It will encourage people to make more and more contributions to the community and help it grow.
Features : Steemlinked will have following features, which will be explained in detail later.
Login / Sign up With Steem via steemconnect v2.
Write new blog posts to share their ideas,
Add a job posting to hire experts in different domains
Add a service listing to find work in various domains

We are starting off as a fork from open source code of busy.org, just like utopian did.
Please comment with your feedback and ideas about how we can take the app further.

I know this may sound completely off the track, weird and nonsensical, but...
Can you apply the principle of Inverse Economy to your promising app? Inverse Economy basically states that workers pay to work, since job titles are a commodity.
In simple words, your app could empower not (just) skilled professionals to sell their work, but rather talented idealists to buy work. So, instead of Joe offering Jane to work for him for X $/hr, Jane would offer service to Joe for Y $/hr. Imagine the "inverse" Steemlinked as a place were great ideas are rewarded, and not (necessarily) top work.
You could have, also, just a portion of the site dedicated to this "inverse" experiment.
Hope it helps!

I approve this task request but keep in mind that requests should be made for existing projects that are not just a mirror or simply a new fork, which your project is at the moment.
You should work on differentiating yourself from Busy. I could see only minor changes in the names.
You can contact us on Discord.
