Freelio Update: Streamlined Milestone Proposals

Following our pivot to Freelio, our focus has been on making the freelancer-client relationship more transparent and efficient. Our latest update simplifies how work is defined and tracked through a new collaborative milestone system.

Collaborative Milestone Proposals

Projects are rarely static. Requirements change, and new tasks often emerge mid-stream. To handle this, we’ve introduced Milestone Proposals.

Instead of a fixed list created solely by the seller, clients can now propose new steps directly on the project timeline. These proposals enter a "Pending" state, allowing the seller to review, approve, or deny them before they become an official part of the contract.

Role-Based Interface

We’ve overhauled the UI to ensure each user only sees what’s relevant to them:

• For Clients: A clear "Add Step" button on the timeline to suggest updates. When a proposal is sent, it’s clearly marked as "Pending Approval."
• For Sellers: New actions to "Approve" or "Deny" client proposals. Sellers maintain control over the project scope while allowing client input.

Simplified Visuals

The timeline now features a cleaner aesthetic for different milestone states. Proposed items use a soft, draft-like styling to distinguish them from active work, ensuring you always know exactly what has been agreed upon and what is still being discussed.

This update isn't just a UI change—it's about building a better loop for collaboration, ensuring both parties are always on the same page.
