This is a very sensitive issue, but frankly men will always try to hit on women. However, right now this is completely ignored. It looks like everyone is trying to sweep this under the carpet and hopes this way, sexism in tech will go away. It won't.

A major reason for that is, because right now, men are only told what is NOT okay, without telling them what IS okay. This makes a lot of men behave very strangely in towards women. Firstly, because they don't want to appear sexist for the woman's sake and secondly, because they don't want to be accused of sexual harassment. Women feel this and for that reason feel unwelcome in tech. It seems like no one tries to reference any gender study researxh even though this is such a huge problem in tech and is holding up our industry.

A way to solve this, would be starting to create an open culture about how men and women can work together in tech, NOT leaving out the whole dating aspect.

A first step into this direction would be to clarify what IS okay and not only what is NOT okay.

For instance, telling a woman she is gorgeous without asking for anything in return is okay. Then the woman can make up her mind if she is interested or not. This is how it works and it will happen anHowever, basing a business transaction on sexual favours is not tolerated.

This has to be more specific of course, however, the only guideline being "inappropriate behaviour won't be tolerated" is just not enough to solve sexism in tech and to get more women into tech.

High school isn't much about learning all the different subjects, it's much more about learning how to behave with people aka social skill. The author should put his daughter back into high school again in order not to have a socially incompetent daughter when she's older.

Yup.

Sorry for that, but we aren't in Belgium yet.

We don't have tasks for the web in the U.S. yet, only in the app right now.

People that often have half an hour time who want to make money instead of playing Flappy Bird. :)Students, commuters, freelancers etc.

Did you not see the "What language do you speak", "Which devices do you own" and "Improve your workhub profile"?

No it's all our own tasks.

Sure.

1. There are data entry tasks, writing descriptions for online shops, filling out surveys etc. We are looking for partners who have smaller tasks like this that they would like to see completed by our almost 70,000 users now.

2. It's targeted to people who are often on the road, where they have spare time that they want to use to make money. Students, freelancers, travelers come to mind.

3. Tasks vary between mini tasks of <$1 that can be done very quickly and tasks for $10+, which users see later once they have had several tasks approved by our clients, so that we know that they can complete work reliably.

Good point! It is a bit generic right now, maybe something like

Long bus rides in the mornings to work? Make some quick money with the WorkHub app from your bus seat!

Yeah, you got it! :)

I think the HN community will much prefer having an unmoderated HN over a moderated HN with a bit higher quality as the main reason why people come here, is that the content here is solely selected by the community.

If however, people find out that HN is much more a controlled environment, they will surely turn away from HN. So instead of trying to control the whole thing just in return for a bit of increased quality, rather sacrifice a bit of quality for an open HN. Of course there can be some moderation, however, it becomes a bit tricky when titles and content is changed, and upvotes are controled.

To be honest, I think there are way too many apps out there just like yours that are way way better. So instead of putting effort into marketing your app, I would put effort into making an app that fills a need that no one else fills instead.

Let the product do the marketing for you. Of course you need to do a little marketing yourself, but the more unique the product, the more your marketing efforts will scale it. In turn, I think with your product you can do a looot of marketing and nothing will come out of it, because the product isn't unique enough.
