- No more long dashes anywhere you read. The house writing style now bans the long dash from every word a client or a talent sees, and it is enforced automatically rather than left to spot-checking: one place in the back end quietly cleans anything the assistant writes, a build check refuses to ship any front-end text that still has one, and all the wording already in the app was swept clean. You get commas, colons and full stops instead, and a plain hyphen for a number range.
- One clear message to the talent when their proposal lands. When a freelancer sends their price and delivery time, they used to sometimes get more than one reply back to back. Now they get exactly one warm acknowledgement, so the moment they make an offer feels clean and personal instead of noisy.
- The guest sign-in popup reads in three clear levels. The little "sign in to keep going" popup for guests was redesigned so its message steps down in three tidy levels of importance, and the "no thanks" choice now reads as a plain link rather than a heavy button, so it never competes with the main action.
A short Monday opening a new week: 3 commits on copy and clarity. The house style now bans the long dash everywhere a client or talent reads, held in place by one back-end cleaner and a front-end build check plus a full sweep of the existing wording; the talent hears exactly one message when their proposal lands; and the guest sign-in popup reads in three clear levels with its opt-out as a plain link. A quiet, tidy start to the week.
