Development update
We are currently rewriting the API in TypeScript so that we can have better code for the development process but also because we are optimizing it to have better performance.
We are also splitting the backend and frontend.

I like the idea and the overall dedication and I think that BloxTeams is a very high-quality piece of software. However, the very issue with BloxTeams is that talent hub exists rendering BloxTeams useless. My suggestion would be to spend your talent on something that developers can widely benefit from as Talent hub exists and I would 100 percent use talent hub over BloxTeams as it is more trustable based on who created it.
I fully understand what you mean about the trust that you need to put in us but what makes BloxTeams different is that you don’t have to trust the other person working for you, or the person you are working for. Our key point is exactly the exchanges system which makes us different from other platforms that already exist like mycenter and hyra as we are very likely going to provide that kind of service too. The no trust system makes BloxTeams different and more secure than commissions done through the talent hub at a scamming level.
Anyway thank you for your feedback

100% incorrect.
First of all BloxTeams is not at the moment going to be designed to allow people to post looking for developers. As @NinjaFurfante07 has stated BloxTeams will be more focusing on the aspect of how Roblox experience developers are able to safely complete commissions without being scammed (or at least a reduced chance of being scammed). The Talent Hub does not at all do this and only allow you to post things when looking for developers for an experience.
Secondly even if we where doing the exact same then the Talent Hub (which we are not), we are creating BloxTeams as bug free as possible. If you ask any devloper or even use the Talent Hub often you will find there are many bugs on the Talent Hub making it hard to use.
I don’t want to at all say the Talent Hub is not secure but seeing the amount of bugs the Talent Hub has I would not at all be surprised if there where flaws in the security of the talent hub to be honest. We are ensuring that BloxTeams is as secure as possible including things such as encryption (and hashing where ever possible). The most two important things for BloxTeams is the security of the website and how we can reduce as many people getting scammed as possible.
We do understand that people very likely will not trust our site right away and we can’t really prove very easily that our site is secure (only way would be to open source the site that will very likely not happen due to security and copying reasons). We do ensure that everything is as secure as we know it can be and that is really all we can do. We are not at all asking for any Roblox cookies or anything in regards to this because we don’t want people to have trust issues with the website as much as possible and even if we do later on implement some type of automated pay out system from users accounts (if/when Roblox adds payments to the OpenClould we may implement something like this) we will very likely make it more of an option that people can choose if they want to have this or not.
Update: New developer
Greetings!
I am happy to announce that we have a new member of the BloxTeams development team. Please welcome @Lanred_Dev to the BloxTeams development team. Lanred will be assisting BloxTeams with the front-end development (website design).
New month, new sneak peak. Let me show you our new landing page.
This is just sample text but you can see the new design we are adopting.

It’s been a while since I visited this topic,
Glad to see you’re implementing a modernized interface, it will really help bring more users to your better Talent Hub site.
However, while this interface uses great typography skills and color palletes, it really lacks visual hierarchy. There’s not a proper nor reasonable “flow” to the site, meaning the visitors’ eyes will look at the site starting from different points.
To establish proper visual hierarchy, you have to focus more on where you want the user to look at right when they see your website. In other words, you should make certain content such as the “register” buttons stand out more from other less important buttons, such as “explore features,” because you’d want to ensure that the user has most attention on the “register” button. But, this does not mean you should completely remove attention from the “explore features” button as it is also important for the user to take notice of.
As a UI designer and website front-end developer, I can provide a tip: it’s not only about the looks, rather it’s the strong design and infastructure.
Hopefully you found this useful!

BloxTeams live chat demo
Hello! Thanks for the feedback, I do plan to make buttons such as “register” look different and more important. This is kind of like a general idea for the UI. However, thank you for the feedback! I will make sure the visual hierarchy is better in some of the finial designs.

Update: We now own the domain!
Greetings!
Yesterday the domain bloxteams.com was purchased by the BloxTeams team so that we have the domain reserved when we get the site finished. At the moment we have a simple info page being hosted on the domain (the info page may update as we work more on the site).

Login/sign-up system
Hey, it’s been quite a long while but I have recently been working on the authentication API and I wanted to show a preview of our simple and fast login/sign-up system that uses the Roblox OAuth2.0 flow.

Today I’ve worked on a better system for the authentication API and now every request that requires authentication is faster.

What do you think should be done if a developer fails to deliver work within the delivery date you set when creating an exchange? Comment to let us know!

Music protection system
Helloo!! Today I’m happy to show off an alpha version of our music protection system I have been working on in the past days. In this build when a music file is uploaded (wav only) the server will send back an ID to later identify that file, when the commissioner who has not paid yet will want to preview the file our server will send back a protected version of the original audio, the protected version will be an overlay of the original file and a white noise wave (that shhhh effect). The white noise will only be removed after payment, it is a way to discourage scammers from using your music file without paying.
In the production version you’ll be able to decide whether or not you want to apply our protection to your music (you might want avoid it if you take your own measures), although it will be on by default and you’ll also be able to determine the volume of the white noise wave.
Credits to @theworldis_socruel for helping me with technical details.
Anyway here’s a demo.

Maybe have developer reputation points? By decreasing reputation points, the developer would be shown less and will receive less commissions. By increasing reputation points (over a certain threshold), the developers will be more prominent in terms of suggestions. Adding filters would also help buyers make better decisions.
late response but i hope it helps lol

Update
I have developed the images watermarking system which will automatically apply a watermark to your images.
The server will generate a grid of a variable size as it is adapted to the space available on the image. The number of columns will vary to allow optimal watermark visibility with a standard size, however this also introduces a minimal image width requirement (Recommended 200px). The watermark will be generated based on your username.

Thank you for the report, I will try to get this fixed as soon as I’m able to, although due to its extremely low impact it will not be prioritized much.
