I spent the last week talking to freelance developers about their worst client experiences. The pattern is always the same: Client disappeared after final delivery 6 rounds of revisions then ghosted Signed contract, never heard back Paid first milestone, vanished on the second Every platform invests heavily in vetting freelancers for clients — ratings, portfolios, skill tests. But clients get almost zero scrutiny. You receive a project proposal and have: a name, maybe a company. That's it. That information exists. It just never surfaces where you need it — before you say yes. I'm building a tool to fix this: Search a client's name or email before accepting a project See red flags reported by other freelancers AI analysis of their project brief (unrealistic budgets, scope creep signals) Simple score: ✅ Clean / ⚠️ Caution / 🚨 Avoid Still in validation phase — no product yet, just talking to people. If you freelance: what's the worst red flag you've seen from a client before OR after it was too late?…
