Never pay to work. The freelance platform that does it right: show your work free, clients bid for you, and you only pay after you've already been paid.
A Quantum Melanin Media × GitMoney build. Phase 0 is live. This repo is the project — and the proposal.
🌐 Live waitlist: https://respectfulnrespected59-source.github.io/dcc/ 🎤 Pitch deck (11 slides): https://respectfulnrespected59-source.github.io/dcc/deck.html 📊 Launch tracker: https://respectfulnrespected59-source.github.io/dcc/tracker.html 🎬 Proof we ship: BLOODLINES — a full AI film, made solo · the explainer that feeds this funnel
Freelance platforms charge you to apply for work — bids, "Connects," paid per submission, win or lose. You're not the customer there. You're the inventory. Talent is gatekept; the platform eats whether you do or not.
- Show work free — no bids, no Connects, no fee to apply.
- Clients bid for YOU — demand competes for talent, not the other way around.
- $0 up front — nothing until you've made money here.
- $20/month flat, only after you've earned $100 — we make money after you do. No percentage skim.
GitMoney's whole thesis: GitHub repos → real revenue. DCC is exactly that, and it maps onto the OS rooms we already work in:
- saas → the DCC platform itself
- content-engine → the films/explainers that drive the audience (top of funnel for the company)

Open to claim: platform features · Stripe Connect escrow · auth/profiles · the offer/bidding flow · UI/brand · content engine.
- ✅ Phase 0 — DONE: brand, live waitlist (lead capture wired), tracker, deck, funnel.
- 🔜 Phase 1: creator profiles + demo upload + client "Make an offer" + Stripe Connect escrow + the $100→$20/mo billing logic. (Proposed stack: Next.js + Supabase + Stripe — open to the team's call.)
- 🔓 Launch gate: open DCC when the reservoir's full — 50 creators · 10 clients · 5 brokered deals (see the tracker).
Each piece of Phase 1 is an open issue. Comment on the one you want to own.
| # | Workstream | |

Three steps: 1) skim the deck → 2) comment on a workstream to claim it → 3) we scope Phase 1 together and ship.
We don't ask for the door fee. We hand you the key. 🔑
