SurfedIn — Directory for independents

What it does

LinkedIn is a feed, not a directory. Marketplaces race to the bottom. Personal sites are invisible without SEO budget. SurfedIn is a public, searchable directory for independent consultants, builders, and solopreneurs. You are found through the quality of your work — not your posting frequency. Public profiles. Real rates. LinkedIn sign-in. Every page indexed by Google and AI. No algorithm, no DMs, no noise.

Public directory to hire independent consultants, freelance builders, advisors and fractional executives — or get found by founders, recruiters and hiring teams. Public profiles, real rates, indexed by Google.

A public directory to find independents to hire, projects to join, and people to build with. Everyone is searchable, everything is indexable, and conversations happen on LinkedIn — not in a private inbox. A public directory built for both sides of the independent economy. Find a fractional CMO, CFO or CTO, an indie developer, a designer or an advisor — with public rates and real case studies. No sales calls to see prices. A public profile that ranks on Google. Productized service packages, day rates, retainers, and paid content — all under one link. Search consultants and fractional executives by skill, industry, language and country. Contact them directly on LinkedIn — no third-party…from surfedin.com

  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…

  Jobs by Referral: Find jobs in your LinkedIn network2025 · jobsbyreferral.com · ▲174

  I have some friends who were laid off and are on the job hunt. We were all quite surprised to learn that LinkedIn does not have a "view jobs only at companies where I have connections", so I built https://jobsbyreferral.com/ It's powered by https://rapidapi.com/letscrape-6bRBa3QguO5/api/jsearch, which is a little pricey, so I'm trying to decide whether to put more effort into the project (I'd have to charge _something_ to offset the costs).

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
