BareFirms: freelancer lead finder

What it does

BareFirms turns public SAM.gov data into a prospecting list for freelancers. Search 900,000+ US federal contractors and instantly see which ones have fixable problems: no SSL, missing SPF and DMARC email security, Section 508 accessibility failures, weak SEO, or no website at all. Filter by location, industry, and certifications, then open any profile for contact details and a ready made outreach angle. Most lead tools just hand you a list. This one tells you what is broken, and it is free.

Recently I started with cold outreach (its a struggle, since I dont have much experience with marketing). I am finding leads mainly using exa.ai websets (web vector search, extremelly good for multiple use cases, recommend checking them out) and then sending them through smartlead. I ran the campaign for the past 30 days and 12-15% emails always bounced. This wasted my email credits & chances of reaching…

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
