Components
My suggestion is about the Task Request section here in the utopian.io frontend.
Proposal
Task request section is a good, but it would be even better, if you could filter the tasks based on what you can do. My proposal is to add an option to filter the tasks based on what skills are required to complete the task. You would select all the skills that you thinks would be required, so for example, if your task requires knowledge of c# and c++, you select these two skills while posting the task. The required skills could be stored simmilarly to the post category
Mockup
Benefits
This addition would make searching for task that you can complete much easier, because you would not have to browse through many task, that you can not comlete because they are for copywriting or graphics and your field of expertise is programming. I believe that, if this system is added it will also increase the amount of completed tasks. I will also reduce the time people are looking for tasks and give them more time to work on them.
