A Network of Knowledge Feeds

Hi Everyone, I wanted to talk to this community about a particular story from my experience to see how the community feels. I have noticed that I have a lot of educated friends from top universities in my country who are having problems finding work due to a lack of experience, which has brought me to a conclusion that diplomas and CVs are not really good at conveying the knowledge someone has. A friend of mine who is already working on his own company told me that he had trouble finding people to work for him, so I thought about an idea that I am currently incorporating into my app. Perhaps…

A Network of Knowledge Feeds launched on February 24, 2022 with 13 votes, #1,026 of 2,645 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

A Network of Knowledge Feeds is a platform that lets people display their evolving skills and knowledge through live feeds, making it easier for employers to see what candidates actually know beyond traditional resumes and degrees. It targets educated professionals struggling to find work due to lack of experience and employers searching for talent. The app aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and companies by creating a transparent, continuously updated showcase of demonstrated knowledge and capabilities.

    LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one2025 · heyopenspot.com · ▲470

    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…

    You Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds2018 · ▲205

    Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it. So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't…

    I built a tool to expand your network (that introverts will love)2024 · moreoverlap.com · ▲229

    As someone who struggles with social anxiety, expanding my network through traditional means has always been challenging. I found existing networking apps either too spammy (LinkedIn) or too much like professional dating (Bumble Bizz), and they just didn’t work for me. About a year ago, I developed a matching system for a local startup accelerator. This system connected founders, mentors, and investors based on industries, skills, and job functions, facilitating over 5,000 meetings that led to some amazing outcomes. Inspired by this success, I enhanced the system to focus on email…
