LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day — noisy feeds, fake engagement, and everyone shouting into the void. Thats why I used to built a personal microsite on Squarespace and uploaded a video resume to YouTube to stand out - it helped me land interviews and get into Big Tech. But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that? So I built OpenSpot: a public, curated platform where you can showcase who you are — with video, audio, and proof of your work. No endless feeds. No humblebrags. Just real people open to new opportunities. We’ve already…

Threads on Web▲207This press release describes the product (which you can use for free with promo code "ULAUNCH"). The app gathers job listings directly from company websites (different than aggregators that collect directly from ATS's). So there are about ~30% of 300k+ jobs listed not found on paid sites like Indeed. This job search site is geared towards job seekers (rather than employers). Would love any feedback

YouTube is full of quality content but it is sometimes hard to find it so I created a website where you can rate and review channels and that helps you discover new ones. The goal is to make a platform like IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes but for YouTube channels. I want to go the opposite direction to YouTube which for instance removed the dislikes on videos and has limited search capabilities. For now there are not so many channels but users can submit new YouTubers instantly. I offer you different new ways to discover content on the website: Detailed filters (topic, avg duration, type of video,…

I’ve been working on a social media web app for reviewing works of entertainment with the hopes to compete against Goodreads and Letterboxd. I started working on this two and a half years ago and it has taught me a lot about full stack development, from Vue, and REST APIs, to hosting with AWS. It’s still very much so a work in progress, but it’s functional and I’d love any feedback I can get. I know other options exist, but I couldn’t find one that I like that had all of the different mediums, and I’d rather have them all in one place. Likewise didn’t give me enough freedom with rating, and…

Hey HN! I've always been frustrated by having to follow people across 10 different platforms just to catch what they actually say. Lately I've quit following other media entirely and am just hanging out on twitter, but the amount of things I'm missing is vast, I'm sure. Recently I started playing with this new API from Parallel AI that let's you do super deep web research and collect tons of datapoints at once. Today I tried to solve my own problem and built Based People using the Task API. *Features:* - Finds and tracks public appearances – podcasts, conferences, congressional hearings,…

Hey HN, My co-founders and I have been working on a project for the last month or so, and we'd like to get your input on it. We wanted to hear your thoughts on what we're doing - so check out our landing page, and let us know what you think/understand. Does it sounds like something you guys would want to use? http://www.thesharedweb.com/alpha/intro We'll tell you guys more about exactly what we're doing as the conversation evolves, but we just wanted to see what the initial reaction is, and what you understand (i.e. are we describing it in a way that makes sense). Really excited to hear your…

I built FilmLink (https://filmlink.io) because I wanted a movie version of the Wiki Game. To win, you connect films by linking actors to their roles: Movie -> Actor -> Movie -> Actor. Today is the official launch! It's completely free to play and features: Daily Puzzle: A new challenge every day with a global leaderboard. Multiplayer (Beta): Race against friends in real-time to see who can finish fastest, or who can do it in the fewest clicks. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the gameplay. I'm actively collecting feedback on the multiplayer experience and keeping an eye out for…

After being frustrated with the budget and learning curve requirements of the big names in the Virtual Production field, I decided to create my own all-in-one platform designed with beginners and less-technical folk in mind. It takes complicated tasks in other engines (tracking, compositing, floor plans, etc.) and makes them two-click solutions. And, with the free companion mobile app, you can track cameras, scan your sets, and (coming soon) do full body motion capture! There's a ton more features that I'm super proud of, and I'm open to any and all feedback! Thanks!

MediaLib▲9Ive been working on this for the last 4 months. Its a tv tracker, movie tracker, game tracker, whatever media people want tracker all in one app. At the end of november last year I tried to find a tracker for my tv shows. I watched a lot and Ive been doing so for like 15 years by now. There are 100% banger shows I watched at a random weekend in 2018 and totally forgot about. So I tried to find a solution to just have a simple list, but I didnt really like any of the existing solutions. So I am building my own. Especially rewatches or rereads are really mid on the existing sites. Been pretty…

Hey HN! Quick TL; DR: I set up scrapers for the websites of ~20k tech companies, fed the results through GPT, spent some sleepless nights building a web app, and voilá. I started this after getting fed up with how slow LinkedIn felt. I finally got it working and easy to use, so I wanted to share it with you guys. The job list is free. But I’m currently paying a lot of money to OpenAI for all the data I’m passing through GPT, so I may end up eventually charging for some advanced features, or putting ads on it or something. Please let me know what you think! I’m actively developing this so I’m…
