1) Do you see this as a direct competitor to Crowdflower and and 99Designs, sort of an MVP? How can you contrast your approach?
2) I'd say your terms of use are very problematic: http://koi.io/terms. It seems like you claim the right to use any of the generated content. So if I get someone to draw something for a project for a client, my client might see his unique art show up somewhere else?
3) Who is the intended user? Is it reasonable to use these illustrations for anything commercial?
4) The javascript links in your Terms don't work in my Chrome browser. The Privacy Policy link doesn't work (shudder to think what the privacy policy says).
5) I think I would have seeded this with more jobs.
Nice. Stored XSS everywhere as well - this is 2013, why are sites still effected by BASIC security issues like this? I would never trust any of my details with a site as poorly coded as this, sorry.
Kind of ridiculous.
Some frameworks consider security out of the box to be beneath them. You should never assume you're secure even with a framework until you've gone combing through the docs and found where the security is, if it's anywhere, and if it's not anywhere because they spent all their effort on making it look and act like Ruby on Rails, how to get it.
That is, unless you just prefer being coy.
>Post a sketch
Shouldn't it be "a sketch" on the first sentence too? To be honest, it hurts when I read it, but that might be just my OCD.
Also, is there anything preventing people from getting the sketch without paying its author? Perhaps you could give people only a thumbnail of the image and only if they pay the author, can they see the full original size image.
On another note, I really like how you explain the purpose of the website on the top header without many words.
Good luck!
