Showwcase 2.0

Hello PH!

I'm Rong, a developer working on Showwcase - a professional network built for developers. Developers can showcase who they are, connect with a community of like-minded devs, and find new work opportunities.

As the world is increasingly filled with more and more developers, we thought we'd build one around developer workflows, tools, and features. Our initial frustration was how LinkedIn is still the de-facto place people search us up despite it not being representative of who we are, our connections have become relatively meaningless, and the user experience is not great for how we like to hang out and share ideas, knowledge, and grow. Further, because they focus on all professional categories, they don’t cater to the work opportunities that we as developers engage in - Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Freelance, Team hires, Open Source, building startups together, content creation and much more.

In essence, our goal is to build a vertical network optimised around developers.

Some of the features we're proud of:

- Have conversations with the community using Threads (kind of like Tweets but not 280 chars and you can share code directly) - Share your work with Shows (our way of sharing anything you’ve built, written, made, or collaborated on). - Circle connections are people you’ve worked, collaborated, or those you can vouch for - Customisable profiles: Your Tech Stack, Github repositories, and work history - Custom domains for everyone! - Resume 2.0 - a new resume for developers - check it out! - Job preferences settings and matching - Communities to hang out with other developers - Javascript, Web3, NFTs, Machine Learning, etc

We're still in the early stages and have a long way to go, we welcome all kinds of feedback and hope the platform brings any tech/coders/devs value. If you have any, please drop them in the comments below!

Thanks!

Rong, Faizan, and Roman
