Like it, cool feature would be: Some kind of passphrase-protection or option to make the profile private.

#52Very nice!
So, in Safari on iOS 14, the view demo link brought me to a page that was mostly blank besides the name and picture. I turned on a screen recording to capture the bug, but then was unable to reproduce it (started the recording on this page and followed the link again.) I should have thought to screenshot the page before doing so, oh well! Maybe it was due to a failed XHR request for the profile data, if the pages are being rendered client-side.

#53My feedback is that the collaborators aren't very useful to me. As in, I get 10+ tiny unrecognizable face icons and a name if I hover over them. There's no way to a see a list of collaborators and their one sentence blurbs for a specific project. Not even sure if shared collaborators are highlighted if you're logged in yourself or not.
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.

#54There are 27 photos at the bottom on mobile? Who are these people? If these are example profiles I would try to get a more diverse and inclusive grouping. There is not a woman in the 27 and ideally it would be 50/50
These are simply the most recent users who have signed up, and unfortunately the the HN demographic is pretty male...

#55Like it. A nice feature would be: Some kind of password-protection or private mode.

Does it make sense to speak about the composition of a group without understanding what the group membership represents?
Eg: what if that's the list of people who gave him financial support building it? What if it's his buddies from the Navy SEALS? Perhaps it's a list of sexual predators in his area? Should it still be 50/50…
Though I agree it's not clear what those pics on the bottom represent.

#57This is awesome! I’d recommend adding a section for certifications. I have a bunch of FAA certs that are career-relevant but they don’t fit naturally into any of the existing profile sections. I’d also suggest making some of the fields wider. 24 characters for location isn’t going to be long enough, for example.
Great feedback - some other sections that have been requested are patents, teaching, and languages. Will likely be adding these soon.

#58Maybe try some screenshots that imply the target use cases?
IE:
Why would I use this when I have a profile on LinkedIn?
Why would I use this when I could just put a resume up on my website?

#59Looks great! Could you share details about your stack? Would live to learn more about it.

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