With all respect for the design and launch - i personally felt like Lemon.io is a scam. I contacted them a few months ago, scheduled a call, talked to a Lemon rep which said she's gonna get back to me. She didn't get back to me, didn't respond to my emails, additionally I started getting dozens of spam email from random people asking me if I need web design services! WTF.

all are either Ukrainian accounts or fresh accounts here.

Hey hunters! Before I begin to tell you the story of my life, if you don’t care, just scroll to the end — we have a cool special offer. So, this is me — Aleks, the co-founder of Lemon.io here. It’s not the first time we meet on ProductHunt. A couple of years ago we launched under a different brand — Coding Ninjas . We’ve gone a long way from there, and at some point, we’ve felt that our old brand didn’t represent well who we are, so we decided it’s time our outer looks represent our inner world. We’ve had to admit that the thing we do best is finding the people who perform best working with early-stage startups. We also realized we know how to keep the rates affordable for everyone trying to build their MVPs, struggle to deliver new features on time, for the short-handed CTOs who spend their 80 hour work weeks and the non-tech founders with great ideas. That’s how Lemon came to life. We’ve reimagined both our product and brand, matching years of experience working with freelance developers with what startups actually need and expect from the people they work with. You’re not just building a business — you’re building a cult. We see that. I probably don’t have to tell you about the rest, but just in case: Lemon offers startups part- and full-time freelance developers on-demand. All developers have to go through a series of interviews and tests to prove their previous experience, coding, and communicational skills and English proficiency. Our prices generally are in the range of $30 - $55 / hour and depend on the duration and complexity of the project, as well as the tech stack you need. Compared to our biggest and most well-known competitor, our prices are up to 41% lower. There are two major reasons we are able to keep them that low: 1. We have a small agile team of resourceful people. We do more with less and have fun along the way. Being small and fully distributed, we keep our overheads low. 2. We only work with developers from Eastern Europe, mainly from Ukraine. The cost of living and average hourly rates here are lower. That allows us to keep the prices for startups lower and rates for developers higher than the market average. I’ll be happy to answer any questions regarding our process, product, team, freelancers rebranding — anything :) Oh, and about the Product Hunt offer! To be honest, at first, we wanted to go with a classy $100 welcome bonus, but then we thought that 2020 is the time when we all donate every extra buck, so here’s what we’ll do instead: we will donate $100 to the charity of your choice under your name every week you work with one of our part or full-time developers until the end of 2020. So $2500 by the end of the year towards the cause you care for if you start today.

I have to say that your website design is totally mind-blowing. It seems to be created by LSD-affected designer. However, some texts and slogans are simply awesome. For example, "RESTORE YOUR FAITH IN REMOTE DEVELOPERS". Very solid! I really like it.

I'm in love with the new branding!

Awesome branding guys! I am working with Lemon.io for 3 years and had only positive experience. Lemon is not only about hiring developer, but building a strong team which helps product to grow. Culture that Lemon has helps to create strong teams and provide high quality results to every product. Every iteration on the Lemon brings it to the next level. Keep up a great work!

I'm happy to work with Lemon.io more than 2 years! the best experience in my life. good luck, guys!

Love the new look! Keep on rockin'!

Cool branding, it looks amazing! and I love the copy <3

I am working with Lemon.io like a Flutter developer and have only a good experience. Good luck with your growth!

You need developers? lemon.io will get them for you. Easy as pie. Love the personal touch, no corporate bullshit, Alex and Vasyl really get the start-up mindset. Keep rocking!

Kudos to @_klen and @aaz127 from http://ozero.design/ for the visual brand and design work

We have used this team reliably for well over a year now. Our team is used to engaging the likes of Toptal and other top tier staffing firms for technical talent. For when we are not looking for the top 0.1% of dev talent, we started looking further afield, and the guys at Lemon.io fit the bill. We engaged quite a few different staffing firms in the mid to high tier range to vet out their process and the devs they have access to, and we ultimately landed on Lemon. The hiring process is not as foolproof as it is say with Toptal, but that's to be expected given that we are not aiming for top 0.1% of talent. So we have to do more legwork to ensure we're getting a good fit for our needs. For when a dev did not end up working out, the Lemon team was quick to try and find us suitable replacements. I would recommend this team if you're looking for a more value based play and you are not trying to go through the frustration of vetting remote devs who you have never had a working relationship with in the past. With Lemon, the fact they have had an ongoing relationship with a dev provides more accountability. I have never had communication issues with these guys, so I'm surprised to see a few comments like that. Nor have I ever seen spam coming from them or their partners, so again, I'm surprised to read that comment and am somewhat skeptical.

Nice page guys and I like your style. Good luck!

This new design is so awesome.. mind=blown. Great job!!

Hehe, your new website is a masterpiece! Worked with this company as a developer on specific tasks for over a year. I want to note their brilliant support team and the highest level of communication. I am not their customer, but I think this care applies to everyone.

We’ve been working with Lemon for more than a year. I love the way you guys work. Your approach and attitude are exceptional, and I’m incredibly happy we’ve met and have an opportunity to work together. It’s good to see your success and growth. You have a team of real professionals, and everything you do is worth appreciation.

I work for Lemon.io as a Full stack developer and I really like these guys! I had only positive and long term experience with customers. I appreciate the support team for helping and caring! Additional thanks to the community for acting as a team! Good luck and keep rocking!

great idea, guys! I'll know whom to reach out with my next product ;)

I can't recommend it more! I spent less time hustling developers and more time creating my product. The website design is dope!
