Reverse job boards seem an interesting concept to me.
I get the feeling that they shouldn't be niche (IE: Django focused) but instead be general so people can see what else the profile can do, and get as many "ways in" as possible.
I've thought about having a general nature reverse job board, where people can post what they want to do, so that someone who's trying to bring together a team can browse and pick and choose people to message. (Ie: I want to make a photography startup so I want to talk with people who know photos).
Does anything like that exist? I know there's LinkedIn but that falls under social media, I can't look at it seriously enough as a job board.
this seems weird to me - you crapped on the guy for telling you to shut it down, but told him 'thanks' in another comment for presumably telling you to to shut it down. seems a little passive-aggressive, but to each their own.
in any case, we prob need a statusbar at the top of every 'check out my new site/app/business' post that says, "Yes, we _know_ there is already one of something like this -- maybe even two! And we're still doing it. We'll call you first, next time, to get your permission."
outside of that, i think commenter's question was how is this new site different? -- i.e. not necessarily, why are you doing this again?
it's ok, i would guess, if it is not, in fact, different at all, but maybe it is - which is what the commenter actually asked.

The idea of staying close to a niche is that there are enough of site where companies can look for candidates, so I don't want to compete with those.
