Awesome! Is there possibly a way to filter the freelances by those looking for work and those looking for freelancers?
Great! When I was reading hiring post today I was just thinking that something like this will be very helpful.
Just one thing is missing: sorting by city.

I was also thinking the same exact thing when I was reading the post today. I guess HN readers think alike!
Clean.
Small bug: when you click on a username it should go to http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=xxx, not http://news.ycombinator.com/users?id=xxx

Thanks -- fixed.
Could you filter internships too?
As someone just coming off a long contract and looking for a new job/gig -- thank you... thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot express how wonderful this tool makes me feel in the midst of a difficult job market.
Looks good but the scrolling on iPad feels really wrong. So much so that it actually bothered me and I had to stop. Actually a very weird sensation - like nails on a chalk board - it is the first time I have had such a 'physical' response to pictures under glass.
Very useful!
Just a very small nitpick (not something you should lose your sleep over at all) - upon navigating to a link and then clicking browser back button doesn't take me back to the location I was at. I would even recommend opening links in a new window.

This is super! I wanted to do something like this myself - you've executed it brilliantly!!
Why don't have a "Feb 2012 - all" and let user's search using the regexp box? That way, I don't have to search both categories for stuff that might span both.

Awesome, thanks! Unfortunately, am on the stock Android browser, and it won't let me scroll down past the length of the left hand nav menu. Not sure why, but can look at your css when I'm back on my desktop if you like.
What android version is that? It seems to work on the ICS browser.
Sorry for the delay, I'm running Android 2.3.3.
Nice site.
When I first saw the "ad" for a developer in New York on the bottom right of the site I thought to myself: "Wow, and he's already found a business model."
It took me a second to figure out that it was the site's creator's info.

Also a very non-obtrusive way to market your availability ;)
Would be nice to see the job openings as a "gmail discussion" where I can read the "title" and just collapse it if i'm not interested instead of mouse wheeling !

Something I wish the actual thread had, that would be great in this is sorting by posted date (aka latest posted, etc...)
Does anyone know why companies mostly want to hire full-time coders instead of freelancers/consultants/contractors?
As the owner of a consultancy I have to acknowledge that FTEs are often appropriate, for good reasons:
FTEs are available in perpetuity (theoretically), contractors can be flighty
Manageability of FTEs is assumed, while freelancers often multiplex
Overall lower cost
IP/knowledge remains in-house with FTEs (talent acquisitions show this is a big deal)
Of course, there are some bad reasons too (trust issues, etc.).

Interesting, but scrolling in my iPad was unusable, so I didn't really want to dig into it.
No its fine, but you need to scroll using two fingers instead of one.
Nice, even i thought of having something similar to make it easy to filter relevant job.
Great work - this is really useful. How often does it update?
(I just posted in one of the threads)

Does any backbone/whatever involved?
great work, kind of finding it difficult to know who is hiring and who is looking for jobs.
Very nice job, indeed.
Love it
nicely done!
