Learn more about your actions in Hourspent

In Hourspent, conversations happen in streams. Talent, team, and project management happen in spaces. Both stream and space are intertwined.

You can add a stream and people to the stream, send messages and files, raise a proposal and invoice, decline a proposal and invoice, and much more.

All your streams are organized in your Workstream and all your spaces are organized in your Workspace. You do not have to add a space in your Workspace. When you add a team, receive an invitation, add tasks, and projects, etc, they appear in their specific spaces in your Workspace.

Your Workstream is super simple yet powerful. On your Workstream right screen is a list of all the streams you added. Also, all the autogenerated streams when you send a proposal or when a talent submits a proposal to any of your projects on the Hourspent Marketplace are on your Workstream list. Streams you were added to by their owners are on your Workstream list too.

Your teams and freelance talents are organized in spaces in your Workspace to help you manage complex work across teams and freelance talents. In your Workspace, you can assign tasks and track work progress. 

These have a few advantages over standalone freelance marketplaces and project management tools. Hourspent is intentionally simple by design yet powerful. Keep reading to learn more about how they work.
