samefeather: LinkedIn for your interests

We are looking to get feedback for http://www.samefeather.com. We have tried this with friends and family but want to get some critical feedback (note to self: do this sooner next time). SameFeather is a location based network of people with similar interests. Our emphasis is offline. We provide a way for people to find others in their vicinity that share their interests and meet them offline. We are trying to stay away from calling it a social network because that seems to scare away a lot of people. The differentiating factor from whats already out there is we focus on individuals and…

    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…

    LinkedIn inbox is really frustrating to use. So, I built Narrow to fix that. - Organizes chats in Groups. - Track chats status. - Setup Reminders. - 10x Faster. Still early. Would love feedback.

    Hey HN, thank you for being a part of the internet we love. We’re Arnav, Mo, Jeremy and we’re building an “Internet for-you page” that recommends blogs and essays based on your interests. Try it here (https://www.browserbuddy.com/)! We love to discover and learn from personal blogs, essays, and articles on the internet. But despite exciting advancements in language modeling, it’s felt harder to discover interesting links from real people. We believe there is untapped potential to use these language models as “curators” rather than “creators”. To explore this, we’re building a…

    As an experiment, I thought it'd be fun to see how many HackerNews members we could get mutually connected on LinkedIn, and help each other grow our professional networks. Enter your information below. The responses may be viewed, but not edited, at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aj6s1

    Link: https://apps.facebook.com/degreesapp/ We built this for fun to see how people are connected to one another and to help people connect/network. We're starting it as a Facebook App and will be adding more search features soon, ie by Work, Education, as well as the ability to import email/phone contacts as a Web/Phone App, but wanted to see what the feedback was for the basic search. We do have the chicken and the egg problem in that the more users we have, the shorter the paths will be, but we have to start somewhere right? There used to be something like this on FB, but it seems to have…
