Viewing profile — _andychung

A lot of people like to think of us as a complete LinkedIn replacement, which is a bit far fetched given our 2 person team. I like to think of LinkedIn as a way to be found and ind…

Awhile back we shared a new professional platform we'd created called Read.cv — a super minimalist profile with your work history, projects, and case studies. A lot of people had b…

Ahh thank you so much!

Awesome to hear! Initially we only offered profiles and pages so people would only really log on to update when they had accomplished something new or were job hunting. With the fr…

I wanted to give a little update on read.cv since I originally posted this as a side project back in January. I'm excited to say the original post gave me the confidence to take th…

Cool this is super helpful, thank you!

I tried doing it through 101domain.com and couldn't because I didn't have a registered business in Cape Verde. I tried again using Marcaria.com and they handled the registration pr…

This makes total sense, will look into more ways to export your data.

For sure! I actually can't wait to remove my profile from the homepage completely, there are lots of great ones now.

Thanks for the great feedback! I definitely want to explore a company profiles product - will be interesting trying to make that feel rich enough with only a few companies on board…

Thank you! It started as a side project but I have a few ideas on how to turn this into something a bit more real.

Haha yup

For sure get what you mean. I actually wanted to give equal weight to things like projects and side projects for this very reason (instead of purely work experience and education).…

Definitely heard the private account feedback - and recruiter spam is a big reason why I didn't want to include any kind of comments of DMs for a first version. Will be looking int…

The authentication emails are sent by Firebase.

For sure, have heard this feedback before especially from people who would like to hide their profile from their current employer.

I haven't heard of FRESH before, but I'll certainly look into it. Filling out a CV is a chore and anything I can do to make it easier for people would be great.

Thanks! Ah yeah, sounds like it could have been a weird connection and failed to load the rest of the page.

Great feedback - some other sections that have been requested are patents, teaching, and languages. Will likely be adding these soon.

These are simply the most recent users who have signed up, and unfortunately the the HN demographic is pretty male...

I'm thinking of simply truncating collaborators after a certain number and offering the ability to open the full list in a modal or something.

I haven't implemented gestures to open the sidebar yet unfortunately - currently to close the sidebar on mobile either tap the right edge of the screen (the sliver of the detail), …

Have definitely been thinking about how to make sections more customizable as I'll never be able to make the defaults cover every use case. What bugs are you encountering?
