UI does not detect changing of account in metamask

UI does not recognize if I select another account in metamask. You need to manually reload the page so it picks up the new selected account.

Metamask only ever exposes one account (web3.eth.accounts[0]) to the dapp. Currently there is no nice way of getting a callback or similar when the account changes. Instead a dapp needs to watch accounts[0] for changes. Code sample from the metamask developer faq:

var account = web3.eth.accounts[0];
var accountInterval = setInterval(function() {
  if (web3.eth.accounts[0] !== account) {
    account = web3.eth.accounts[0];
    updateInterface();
  }
}, 100);```

Move away from using generic event fireEvent

Edit contracts in a way that we'll stop using generic fireEvent

ethlance/resources/public/contracts/src/EthlanceRegistry.sol

Line 158 in bce6e37

function fireEvent(string memory eventName,

and instead for each event we'll have separate definition. Similarly like we did for MemeFactory https://github.com/district0x/memefactory/blob/6951aa05c6882424f4552d408551157c1bbe0517/contracts/Registry.sol#L27-L38

Next Page of Freelancers

If I enter the site for the first time (without being logged in) and I click on "find candidates" and then go to next page without specifying a skill it says "no more candidates are available".

Feature request: more currencies for hourly rate, e.g. my fiat, AUD.

Formatting of Solidity looks weird in my IDE

Formatting in my IDE looks quite broken:

Although I see, on Github it look ok. Do you have any idea what might be the problem? Besides, we wanna do 2 spaces indent.

Connecting Github account fails

I have an existing freelancer account on Ethlance, from before GH-connecting was implemented. After connecting my Github identity, the "Save User" button fails to provide any feedback, and I notice a JS console error:

How you make money

Hi,

Just wanted to know how you make money with Ethlance ?
Is it a "pure altruism-based" application ?

Improve hyperlink unfurls

When posting job links (e.g. https://ethlance.com/#/job/354) into clients like Slack, Discord, etc. the unfurl that is displayed only contains generic information for the Ethlance website.

At minimum, we should change these unfurl patterns to accommodate:

• Job postings, including the title of the job post, truncated description, and possibly the employers logo. Any other relevant metadata that can be formatted to fit is welcom.

As a bonus, we should also accommodate:

• Freelancer profiles, including their headshot and profile description and any other relevant metadata (join date, rating?)
• Employer profiles, including their logo and a description of the company

Implementing Coinbase app store redirect for mobile users who don't have a wallet present

Using re-frame events provided by https://github.com/district0x/district-ui-window-size and https://github.com/district0x/district-ui-web3

Depending on whether ethlance will work with district-ui-web3, I can fallback to cljs-web3 for determining web3 presence.

Suggested Enhancement involves first checking if a mobile device is accessing ethlance without using a software wallet. If it is determined that they have no software wallet, a modal should appear suggesting the use of a supported software wallet for their mobile device (Install Coinbase from the App Store, Play Store!)

Can't see messages sent to candidates

Hello!
I have candidates applied for my job.
I went to a job proposal screen (https://ethlance.com/#/job-proposal/1080), selected "Send message" tab, entered a message, and clicked "Send".
But I can not see my message in the history.
Chat at the top contains only candidate's message.

I tried this for 2 candidates, with the same result: can't see my sent message.

I have not accepted the job proposals yet.

Do I have to accept the proposal to start chatting?

When I sign up and click send, nothing happens.

On Brave, it occurs with or without shields down.

All the fields are entered in.

Failed job posting due to gas is not explained

What

I tried to make a job posting, but was unsuccessful. I was redirected to Job page without explanation. I thought I was charged ETH for the transaction, but the contract never appeared.

Hypothesis

When I initially paid for the contract, the gas was too low, so the contract was unsuccessful. The
"create job" page was stuck in a "loading" state after the failed contract, so I refreshed the page. After refreshing, I re-entered the information and then submitted. After adjusting the gas, I was successfully redirected to the "My jobs" page.

Issue

The contract that was successful, but didnt result in a job can be seen with this transaction: 0x7f442b0d4d330023e907ed7fdca93c858aa21c476c5f29db7094617cf7385662.

The contract that was failed, and forced me to restart can be seen with this transaction.
0x0bc10f232919ba1e6f8c75d7f458ca83a4db5459a5d805739a22b63b6afe0458

Actual issue

As seen in the first contract link, the failed contract was "Out of gas". This was never addressed on the front-end and led to a confusing UI.

Can't upload my profile picture

Hi,

I created a Freelancer profile, when I created the profile I couldn't change de default profile picture.
I can't change it now when I click on the profile picture.

Is it normal ?

User Experience (Find Work) - No Listings Displayed By Default

You need to choose at least a 1 star rating to see available jobs, otherwise visiting the 'Find Work' section shows no results with the default search that occurs when first visiting this page.

Sending a message to candidates

Perhaps there's something I couldn't find, how can I message candidates that I find appropriate to let them know I want to work with them ?

Statistics

Where can we see how many users ethlance has ?

Migrate into using district-server-web3-events

Use https://github.com/district0x/district-server-web3-events for dispatching smart-contract events. This can be done after or simultaneously with #55

[Feature request] Find Candidates - search a user by name or nickname

This is not highly necessary but I sometimes want to quickly jump in Ethlance to search and find a user that I already came across to:

• checkout his/her profile updates
• status of his/her bids or jobs.

In btw, this could be below "language".

HTTPS Switch is URGENT

Hello, a site running on http and not https, seems like a lack of care for security, which severely degrades credibility of the platform.

This should be something you proceed to do ASAP !

Move contract data from state into events/IPFS

In many places, such as:

ethlance/resources/public/contracts/src/EthlanceUser.sol

Lines 160 to 162 in bce6e37

	arbiterData.paymentValue = paymentValue;
	arbiterData.currencyType = currencyType;
	arbiterData.paymentType = paymentType;

ethlance/resources/public/contracts/src/EthlanceJobStore.sol

Lines 100 to 105 in bce6e37

	bidOption = _bidOption;
	estimatedLengthSeconds = _estimatedLengthSeconds;
	includeEtherToken = _includeEtherToken;
	isInvitationOnly = _isInvitationOnly;
	metahash = _metahash;
	rewardValue = _rewardValue;

ethlance/resources/public/contracts/src/EthlanceInvoice.sol

Lines 61 to 63 in bce6e37

	amountRequested = _amountRequested;
	dateCreated = now;
	dateUpdated = now;

ethlance/resources/public/contracts/src/EthlanceFeedback.sol

Lines 161 to 168 in bce6e37

	fromUserAddress = feedback.fromUserAddress;
	toUserAddress = feedback.toUserAddress;
	fromUserType = feedback.fromUserType;
	toUserType = feedback.toUserType;
	metahash = feedback.metahash;
	rating = feedback.rating;
	dateCreated = feedback.dateCreated;
	dateUpdated = feedback.dateUpdated;

We're storing data in smart-contract state unnecessarily, because it's nowhere used for trustless logic within smart-contracts. All data that doesn't need to be accessed from other smart-contracts, should be passed to an event or stored as IPFS hash and server will reconstruct it from there. This way lot of gas will be saved. You can actually combine event and IPFS approach into the one, by not even storing IPFS hash in smart-contract, but just passing it into event. You can learn more about this approach here:

Interest in the deploy

Hi madvas, can you show the deploy workflow on Ethereum public blockchain and IPFS, i think the automate deploy script may be very useful to others developing dapps.

A system of penalties for freelancers and employers (or autodeleting of job offers)

employers can forget about their job post on Ethlance, and freelancers will continue to add offers that are an excessive waste of time and Ethers.

Or add some time restriction for employer's job proposals. after some time this post will be destroyed.

Ethlance can only run with Privacy Mode turned off.

The new Metamask feature 'Privacy Mode' needs to be disabled before people can use Ethlance. THis is a privacy issue for people and we should add the correct permission prompt like other Dapps.

Odd transaction (incomplete)

Hi there. I am attempting to register as a freelancer.

However, upon sending the appropriate funds via metamask, I was being told that my transaction was undervalued.

So I sent a preposterous amount of gas with the value from ethstats.

Here is the transaction: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xdf105b80480eedcdc4d6f570655f9bc8fa2c18106e9434d84367a9f9375be609

For some reason, the value is slated at 0ETH, and has run out of gas and I have not received a refund.

Also, the website itself simply kept displaying the loading screen without telling me of any error.

Change the name

The site is excellent, not a single complaint. I used it to post a job.

I was just thinking, before this thing takes off and everyone knows who you are (because that will happen), you should change the name of the site. eth-anything is starting to get really old, and it will soon sound very old-fashioned. Branch out to a name that doesn't have the word 'eth' in it. I'm pretty sure you'll be glad you did.

You can close this issue if you want. It's just a suggestion.

When I hit send I am faced with an error message

Improvement: Add support for the Ledger Nano S

Hi!

It would be great if there would be support for the Ledger Nano S hardware wallet, you can find JS examples in the MyEtherWallet repo

SSL certificate for ethlance.com is bad.

Implement district-ui component for determining if ethlance is being viewed from a mobile device.

This is for reference purposes.

A new repository will be generated, which will contain re-frame events for exposing whether a site is being accessed from a mobile browser.

This will extend into upcoming features to be included with ethlance and namebazaar

New Ethlance home page changes

1. Add third button Become an Arbiter
   

2. Let's change "No restrictions and free membership" to "No restrictions, no fees and free membership" (icon might need some update as well). And then we'll replace "0% service fees" with "Decentralised dispute resolution, anyone can become an arbiter" (new icon will be needed)
   

3. Add third tab "Arbiter" with following steps: Complete your profile, Receive invitation for job supervision, Investigate the problem, Resolve the dispute, Receive Ether, Leave feedback
   

4. Add third button Become an Arbiter
   

Improve code documentation

I think ethlance is a shining example of a decentralized market platform. It is inspiring me to try to create one of my own, but unfortunately I'm having a hard time learning from the codebase because of lack of comments.

Improve README.md with more information from the site and medium article

I'll take this one on.

"First name" calculation is slightly off

Not sure where all on the site freelancer names get abbreviated as first-name-only, but at least on the toolbar, it's a bit weird when I write my name formally as first letter of first name, full middle name:

Just a minor gribble though. Maybe it would make sense to take every word up until the last, rather than just the first word? Seeing g. nicholas everywhere instead of g. feels a bit less like a robot is trying to guess what to call me.

(Ideally, it'd be nice to have a separate field for "friendly name" or whatever, because, for instance, the name I use formally is not the same as the name I tell people to call me)
