Building a LinkedIn alternative for programmers. Users can earn skills on their profiles through code challenges, write blog posts and find jobs. Looking for a technical co-founder with strong Python/Django experience. Have built most of the MVP already but need someone to share the load and help engage with the developer community.
- fernandopj 7y agoI'll try any LinkedIn alternative these days, since they have become so bloated. But I've decided not to register myself with Able, since GitHub registration asks for the following, which I don't agree: > Able by RhettTrickett > wants to access your account > Personal user data > Full access > This application will be able to read and write all user data. This includes the following: > Private email addresses > Private profile information > Followers Also, (full?) access to my primary organization. Hard pass. Why full access?
- new_here 7y agoThanks for the feedback, Fernando. I've transferred the app to the Able organization on Github and pushed a new build that only requests read access to your Github profile info. It should be up in 20 min. It's used soley to pre-populate your Able profile and you can edit/remove this info straight after auth'ing. Didn't realise that the base user scope was that extensive, sorry about that!
- shearskill 7y agoEnjoying reading the content on your site - Mixcloud is a platform I use and the backend breakdown is really interesting.
- new_here 7y agoYeah, the backend interviews are something I'd really like to do more of. Glad you're enjoying it!
