Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one
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 onboarded a few companies, so recruiters can reach out to you directly. But you can also connect with other standout folks and supercharge your network.
Just upload your resume and we´ll automatically generate your profile in under 1 minute.
It’s early, but feels like something people actually need.
Would love your thoughts.
- hypebrand 2y agoHonestly, this looks really cool. LinkedIn has become almost unusable for actually finding interesting people or jobs.
- fliellerjulian 2y agothanks a lot, really appreciate the feedback! thanks for signing up!
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y ago> LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day You can also restrict yourself to following friends, and disable notifications from people who write too much crap. I do this and my feed is acceptable.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoThat’s fair, and it definitely helps clean up the feed experience. But the core issue we’re trying to solve isn’t just the feed — it’s how hard it is to stand out when applying for jobs. Resumes and LinkedIn profiles all start to look the same, and you’re often just another name in a pile. From what we’ve seen so far, people who include short videos or unique showcases of their work get 3–5x more interviews.
- gverrilla 2y agoIf you make everybody stand out, than you're back again at step 1 where it's hard for someone to stand out. The fact is we're just another name on the pile - but it's not because of presentation, it's because the underlying structure that determines how to the job market works and for what intent. There are exceptions of course, both for fair and unfair reasons, but there's nothing your platform is solving for me: I need a job, not to stand out by changing how I present myself. I see zero reasons to engage in it.
- drewbitt 2y agoI still would want to mute terms. I am not going to delete current or past coworkers just because they became a LinkedIn 'entrepreneur' or into bad AI takes. Baffling that this isn't a thing on a site with such blatant post slop
- franceso_ 2y agoThe idea of making your profile feel more like a personal pitch makes a ton of sense. Honestly surprised something like this doesn’t already exist at scale.
- cleung11 2y agoagreed. insane how all platform profiles just replicate the resume format (which also warrants another discussion)
- markx2 2y agoPlease be prepared for the onslaught of spam, SEO, porn that is most definitely going to happen. I wish you luck.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoTo clarify: OpenSpot doesn’t have a feed, followers, or any social mechanics. There’s no algorithm pushing content or encouraging endless posting.
- davedx 2y agoI also find LinkedIn spammy and I’m fed up of videos everywhere, so for me the answer is definitely not more videos, sorry.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoTotally get that — video fatigue is real, especially when it’s everywhere and often meaningless. We’re not pushing video as a requirement — it’s just one option for people who want to show more personality or communicate things that don’t come across in text. Some folks prefer writing, some showcase projects or code — all of that works on OpenSpot. The idea is to give people more ways to be seen for who they are, not force everyone into the same format.
- epolanski 2y agoYou lost me as soon as I saw users can create content. All platforms become bad as soon as you allow average Joe speak his mind. The only ones that somewhat save themselves are the likes of HN and Reddit where it's all about discussing, but users are mostly anonymous and not trying to promote their brand.
- brulard 2y agoWhat would be a good alternative? Who is going to create that content? Corporations? Media? I don't get it
- fliellerjulian 2y agoTotally hear you and I agree that most platforms go downhill when the focus shifts to likes, followers, and constant posting. To clarify: OpenSpot doesn’t have a feed, followers, or any social mechanics. There’s no algorithm pushing content or encouraging endless posting. When we say “create content,” we mean things like a short video intro, showcasing past work, or writing a quick blurb about what makes you unique — all on your profile, not for public engagement farming.
- markx2 2y ago> all on your profile, not for public engagement farming. The spammers, the SEO farmers, the porn merchants won't care. A link is a link. I've been tackling spam for 15+ years and you will get hit. I wish it were not the case, but it is. Expect it.
- ctxc 2y agoWorks only in the US. Worth mentioning.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoyea you are right, we are working very hard on expanding to more countries. Feel free to sign up on our waitlist to get notified as soon as we launch in your area :D
- hk__2 2y agoWe should build some sort of global network where all websites would be accessible to everyone. It would be an interconnection of networks, we could call it Inter-net.
- harvey9 2y agoLegal compliance. For example the UK just enacted a law making hosts responsible for forum content so any site with user content now has one more risk to think about.
- em-bee 2y agohow does that work? i am looking for remote jobs globally. well, where it makes sense timezone wise, but still, i am not just looking for jobs in my area. some american companies may also be looking for people in other areas. also what if you get the area wrong? the site is not telling me which area it detected for me. i am traveling a lot and i am often not in the area where i actually live. i hesitate to sign up and find out that i get notified for an area that i am no longer in or was never interested in finding jobs in to begin with. for any area specific features, if you open up signing up to anyone with the caveat that if they are not in a supported area they may not benefit from the site, then you could use the popularity of sign-ups as a suggestion where to focus on next.
- I_am_tiberius 2y agoI just wanted to ask if you're EU based but this answers it I guess.
- andy_ppp 2y agoI wish I could tag filter and control what I see on my feed for example political content on LinkedIn is largely an unfollow event for me. Also I’d like to be able to filter for recruiter content and just jobs.
- iancmceachern 2y agoIt's not about the platform itself, it's the users. Am I going to be able to find new customers on this platform, consistently, like I do in LinkedIn? If not, why would I spend the X number of hours I have dedicated this month to finding new clients on this platform? If you can Crack this nut you will have no problem finding users.
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoWhen LinkedIn originally started, it wasn't about "finding new customers on the platform", and I for one would be more than happy if another site decided not to support that as a primary use case. At least when I joined, LinkedIn was about connecting to your respected colleagues, so that in the future if you needed help from your network (a job, info about a product, but perhaps most importantly, a 2nd-level introduction), then you could ask for it. I'm perhaps a dying breed but I still only connect to LinkedIn people that I either have worked with or know at more than a passing level. I make strong use of the "I don't know this person" when I receive unsolicited invites.
- iancmceachern 2y agoThat's where they make their money though. In my view you are missing out on a huge part of the value, and a lot of career opportunities by not using it to meet new people who share your field, vision and passion for your work. It's like listening to the same songs over and over and never doing any music discovery. It's not so "salesy", it's more about expanding your network beyond people you already know. This isn't something to eliminate, this is the whole value of the platform. Otherwise it's just a glorified mass text.
- johannes1234321 2y agoThere are ways to do that in paces with a way better signal to noise ratio. Especially if I care about local connections in my area. (Meetups, local communities, etc)
- 2y ago
- dusanh 2y agoI apologize this is not directly related to OP, but if you, like myself, get mad at all the "Suggested" posts LinkedIn is pushing on you, you can use the following ublock filter to get rid of these posts: www.linkedin.com##:xpath(//span[text()="Suggested"]//ancestor::div/div[contains(@data-id, "activity")]) Combined with carefully managing who I actually follow, it made it for a much more pleasant experience.
- anthropodie 2y agoThank you this makes it so much better!
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- raffael_de 2y agohere's my cosmetic filter: www.linkedin.com##.scaffold-finite-scroll--infinite.scaffold-finite-scroll:matches-path(/feed) www.linkedin.com##.feed-follows-module:matches-path(/feed) www.linkedin.com##div.mb2 > .artdeco-card my problem with the wall isn't like with youtube where it's distracting and inviting to waste my time. it's more that most of the posts are so utterly dumb and self-aggrandising that it just makes me angry. thank god for ublock.
- hyperbrainer 2y agoThis is great!
- pastaheld 2y agoYes I get mad at these posts, and then even madder at me for scrolling through the feed in the first place. But this is great, thanks!
- jeremyscanvic 2y agoAnother option is Settings & Privacy > Preferred Feed View > Most recent posts.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- lclc 2y agoYour About page doesn't work. I'd not share personal information with an anonymous company.
- isaacremuant 2y ago> 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 You can already do this in many places and it still will be more noise than signal. This pitch seems more aimed at solving a want from the type of companies that want a one way interview (film yourself telling us who you are) to save on resources than anything else. It's even worse when you consider that in the word of LLMs they'll still want to parse those automatically into recommendation and filter systems. I don't think you'll really love our thoughts. Heh.
- mikenereson 2y agoIts not about the product or features any more - LinkedIn wins because of its network.
- lnsru 2y agoThis! It always nice to get the 101st message from random recruiter that ends up in a decent job. And I must only keep my profile updated.
- cleung11 2y agothat's fair. on the other hand, i'd rather use a platform with higher quality people (regardless of quantity) than a platform that simply values vanity metrics. i guess it also depends what you're using linkedin for.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThese days, LinkedIn may be ruining that network because of the sheer noise in it all.
- ramon156 2y agoSounds what people ar looking for is a "professionals only" feed where average Joe has nothing to say. I honestly don't know enough about social media to say whether that's realistic. All i can think about is YouTube Community but with a set limit of subs/views
- fliellerjulian 2y agoThat’s a really interesting take — and I think you're onto something. A lot of the frustration comes from signal getting drowned out by noise, especially when everyone's trying to "perform" professionally. With OpenSpot, we decided to skip the feed entirely. Instead of trying to fix the feed, we just removed it. No likes, no endless scrolling, no performance metrics — just individual profiles curated around quality signals. It’s not about restricting average Joe, but about giving real talent — whether loud or quiet — a space to be discovered for what they do, not how often they post.
- uxcolumbo 2y agoCongrats on the launch. Another big annoyance of LinkedIn is that the UI performance feels sluggish on desktop. The app kills my battery on mobile. Had a look at your site and the carousel seems to slow down the entire site for me. Scrolling becomes janky and it's a drag to scroll down. I'm using Firefox and also tried it in a chromium based browser. The carousel itself also jumps to the beginning when it reaches the end, i.e. it's not a seamless loop.
- fliellerjulian 2y agothanks for the feedback, working on this now!!
- nosioptar 2y agoAnother problem is that you moved the scrollbar to the wrong side of the screen. I set Firefox to put it on the left, your site moves it to the right. I would encourage you to just remove any custom scrolling code, it doesn't work well.
- osigurdson 2y agoLinkedIn even has Tiktok like videos (near misses, etc.). Every time I see those, I just wonder "why"?
- cleung11 2y ago100%, they are clearly hopping onto a trend with no meaningful connection back to their platform.
- osigurdson 2y agoMaybe it is driven by how people are increasingly using it. There is a lot more political content now for example.
- janalsncm 2y agoIn tech, I have found the best way to stand out is a personal technical blog. Write about things you’ve worked on. Doing is the best way to learn, and writing about doing is the second best way to show you know. (The first is a demo.) The LinkedIn feed problem can be solved by not going to the feed.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoTotally agree — writing about what you’ve built is a great way to both learn and stand out. Blogs, demos, and personal sites are powerful signals, especially in tech. Openspot actually leans into that same idea: instead of feeding the algorithm, you just show your work — whether that’s a blog post, demo, video, or a quick walkthrough. It’s all hosted on your profile, so you can focus on signal over noise.
- itsoktocry 2y ago>Totally agree — writing about what you’ve built is a great way to both learn and stand out Stand out? "Write about stuff" is literally generic advice nowadays. Most of the content is crap, because people are only writing because other people suggest it.
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoWriting a blog relatively regularly got me job offers from FAANG companies and book offers from publishers (some of the latter I accepted). It's also a good exercise to get better at your job because communicating effectively is just as important a skill for programmers as writing code is.
- scarface_74 2y agoAre you saying that anyone in your interview loop took time to read your blog posts? And it wasn’t just you passing the standard interview process like everyone else has to do.
- 2y ago
- runlaszlorun 2y agoI'll have to wait til later but I think this is a great idea and needs to be done. I think it's somewhat of an embarrassment to us all that LinkedIn is the current de facto place for our professional presence.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoyou nailed it!
- DidYaWipe 2y agoLinkedIn has become Facebook Pro.
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoIn fairness, we did get r/LinkedInLunatics out of LinkedIn, and I thoroughly enjoy that.
- runlaszlorun 2y ago> r/LinkedInLunatics Ha, hadn't heard of it. I'll have to take a peak for sure...
- blainm 2y agoI like the idea of blending a portfolio-style showcase with some kind of network on top. Consider how to maintain meaningful engagement without falling into the same pitfalls as existing social media. Some ideas: Avoid Engagement for Engagement’s Sake – Features like posting and analytics can create the same inauthentic cycles seen on other platforms, where users engage primarily to boost metrics and reach rather than build genuine connections. Encourage Thoughtful Interaction – Consider placing limits on outreach, such as allowing only one new direct message per day. This ensures that when someone reaches out, it’s intentional and meaningful, not spam. Resist Monetisation Pitfalls – Rather than introducing premium features like LinkedIn’s paywalls or sponsored content, a fair enterprise model such as paid job postings section could sustain the platform without diluting its core value. Your approach is promising, and with the right focus, OpenSpot could offer a genuinely valuable alternative. Best of luck!
- Ylpertnodi 2y ago>We’ve already onboarded a few companies....with other standout folks and supercharge your network. As soon as I read 'onboarded', and 'supercharge your network', I gave up (being young[er], I guess).
- carra 2y agoI feel like any LinkedIn alternative is doomed to end the same way. Because most of its problems come from corporate culture itself.
- briandear 2y agoIt might. But it might make the founder rich en route to that doom.
- runlaszlorun 2y agoAs far as being doomed, you could easily be right. But couldn't the same case be made that HN would just be as bad as any other forum or comment section and therefore not worth doing?
- test1235 2y agoThat was my first thought as well. Supposing this project gets off the ground, maybe even somehow surpasses linkedin, some investor will come along, flash a big pile of cash at the owner and bam, through various monetization strategies to make back that money, you end up back at linkedin. Linkedin isn't the way it is because they didn't know how to make good UI.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- julius-fx 2y agoThank you - LinkedIn became extremely annoying over time. I'll check how it compares, when I'm hiring for my team.
- fliellerjulian 2y agothats awesome, looking forward to your feedback! feel free to join our discord so we can keep in touch
- id00 2y agoI personally like Linkedin - it's so trashy that it makes me work harder to retire early to get away from all those crazy prople. Or at least to close the tab ASAP.
- cleung11 2y agoi'd pay for linkedin premium if they marketed their platform like this
- dougc_seismic 2y ago[flagged]
- taberiand 2y agoI don't quite understand people's problem with LinkedIn - for me it has only one real page, my profile, and two other areas: recruiter chat and people I might know personally to link to. I got a job via recruiter chat on it once, and I drop in every few months or years to add a dot point to the resume. There's nothing else on that site?
- scarface_74 2y agoExactly. I have my updated profile on Linkedion. I occasionally ask for recommendations and I respond to messages from recruiters and use it as a professional address book. I also use it to research the background of interviewers, potential managers, and coworkers. I work remotely so it’s the easiest way to do so. Besides that I completely ignore it.
- scarface_74 2y agoThis doesn’t solve the problem with LinkedIn. One problem with LinkedIn to find jobs is that every job applicstion gets hundreds of applications. Your site won’t have any jobs available - that’s the opposite problem. I have looked for and found jobs 7x since 2012 when I joined LinkedIn. Two of those jobs came from my reaching out to recruiters who posted jobs that I was somewhat uniquely qualified for. Those people won’t be on your site. The other two were from recruiters reaching out to me based on a search on skills. Those people won’t be on your site either. Not to mention that when I’m looking to find out about my interviewers, manager etc, I’m not looking on your site either, neither are they looking for me there. A large part of my profile is also recommendations. What problem are you trying to solve?
- dzonga 2y agothis. 100%. LinkedIn's value is not on resumes too or people looking for jobs. But for Sales - hence why Microsoft paid 26bn. If you're sales person, recruiter etc trying to find people or business. LinkedIn has no competition.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- Kamillaova 2y agoXing just exists.
- scosman 2y agoI tried this years ago. Some advice: target your marketing and product at “beautiful+easy portfolio” to start. See if you can make something beautiful people want to share, and when other people see one they want to create their own. You can’t compete against LinkedIn on network for now, and many years to come. So need to talk about the now value. But try to build in network effects (tag who you worked with) as soon as you manage to crack growth. Or ignore me. My version didn’t work!
- fliellerjulian 2y agoThis is really good advice — thank you for sharing it, especially with the honesty about your own attempt. Totally agree: we're not trying to compete with LinkedIn's network (yet). Our focus right now is exactly what you said — making it beautiful and dead simple to create a portfolio that feels personal, professional, and worth sharing. Something that makes people say: “I want one of those.” We’ve got network effects on the roadmap too — things like tagging collaborators, showcasing teams, and making intros more fluid — but only once we’ve nailed the individual value first. Appreciate you taking the time
- yellowapple 2y agoLooks nice. Immediate feedback: - The mobile v. desktop detection seems based on the screen width, which would be reasonable if it didn't mean halting my onboarding process because my browser window ain't maximized. - The auto-generated profile didn't capture much from my résumé or LinkedIn profile. Only the two most recent roles plus some early-career freelance work; that covers maybe 20% or so of my overall career. - Related to the above, it'd be useful to have more control over the (what appears to be) AI-generated summarizations of things. - No way to reorder the "key accomplishments"? - A place to list certifications and (in my case) clearances would be handy.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoReally appreciate the detailed feedback — this is super helpful! While we are still super early and the platform you are seeing is our MVP, you're absolutely right on all points, and we've already added everything you mentioned to our backlog. We're now working on improving the resume/LinkedIn import, giving users more control over summaries and ordering, and adding fields for certifications and clearances. Also, great catch on the viewport detection — we'll tweak that so it doesn’t block onboarding just because your browser window isn’t full screen. Thanks again for taking the time to test it and share your thoughts
- neogodless 2y agoI'm on a OnePlus 12 and the site seems too wide / off center with some of the first button off screen.
- mushufasa 2y agoCool. I use linkedin and pay for premium but the problem it solves for me is very different. If I want to find out how to reach an organisation to do sales, I need to know the structure of the organization and who I know that knows people who work there. I don't even use the linkedin-platform messaging. Really it's about how to coordinate my rolodex so I can get warm introductions. I have posted a few jobs on linkedin and they immediately get 1000s of applicants, with very poor signal-to-noise ratio. We don't use it for job postings anymore, we instead do more specific targeting.
- fliellerjulian 2y ago100% and that’s exactly the kind of feedback we’ve heard from users too. LinkedIn still works for networking or sales in some cases, but when it comes to job searching and hiring, it’s become almost unusable. The signal-to-noise ratio is brutal, especially for job posts, and candidates feel like they’re just shouting into the void.
- chipster_f00 2y agoThank. You. For. This. `\o/` LinkedIn is a cess pit. (see r/linkedinlunatics)
- ghaff 2y agoIt's all about network effects. I don't care about recruiters. Don't need a job. With the demise of Twitter and Facebook not being interesting for professional purposes, LinkedIn is just the best medium for professional outreach. It's just a good way to reach professional contacts.
- neilv 2y agoWhy are there photos on a resume site, and featured so prominently? It's not Tinder. US HR used to throw away any photos that people attached to resumes. (Usually someone attaching a photo was a recent immigrant, who didn't know the US convention.) I've even heard rumors that some companies/screeners had a policy of throwing away resumes that included photos or other gratuitous information that could be the basis for illegal/problematic discrimination. "Because LinkedIn does it" isn't a good argument, because LinkedIn is pretty awful, and the only things going for it are: (1) the majority of people are on it, and (2) recruiters sometimes search/spam there. Some social media sites do photos because they pander to the worst. Or, in the case of one prominent social media site, infamously because the original inspiration was to catalog the best-looking women at their college. Unless you're a headshots site/app for hiring models/actors, best to go with content-of-their-character, and all that.
- jmye 2y agoRight? Photos and video? Why would I ever want to post video on my resume? Why would I ever want to watch someone’s video if I was hiring? Are we trying to land tech roles or screen time on reality TV?
- NikolaNovak 2y ago1. Agreed... But just for funsies: 2. There's a variety of roles out there, and for many "executive presence" is important qualification. (But really though,its because of tiktok)
- KerrAvon 2y ago[flagged]
- NikolaNovak 2y agoHm. Never felt that way. Would be curious to discuss more though! Now - I'll 1000% agree, and speak from long years of work, that adhd and autism likely make it harder. But it's also quite hard for most people, just for different reasons, so I don't find it a filter with enough specificity. (Perhaps I'm sliding onto the dark side of the force, I certainly wouldn't have thought so 20 years ago, but as I learn more about the massive scope and mandate of senior execs, and the time crunch they operate under, I am starting to understand a bit better than I used to, the value of speaking in orderly and well summarized fashion. Still struggle with it mind you, but do see there's more to it than just neurotypical filtering.)
- shadowgovt 2y agoI wish you the best in this endeavor, but what made LinkedIn suck wasn't anything to do with LinkedIn and everything to do with becoming a social network that businesses could use to substitute for good old-fashion contact-finding. This damaged it in two ways: people started bending their accounts to be more (or less, because the spam problem is real!) attractive, and businesses started shotgunning recruiting info far past where it would be useful to the recipient. If your experiment takes off, I don't know how it avoids the same fate.
- daniel-takeone 2y agoLove your approach of video resumes. We share the same vision and recently built a flow for users to easily create a professional resume videos themselves. Our tech automates the entire process. Check it out and maybe we can partner https://www.takeone.video/resume-videos https://www.takeone.video/resume-videos

- vector_spaces 2y agoMy quick feedback / first impressions One benefit of an algorithmic feed is that it works as as social proof in showing me that other people are actually using the site. Since your site doesn't have a feed apparently by design, you'll need some way of showing me (quickly!) that this is a living, breathing website that people actually use, otherwise it feels like I'm shouting into the void. Another benefit of a feed is that I can immediately see how my activities and updates will look to other people. But it's not clear during onboarding how things will look to others, let alone who can see my profile and activity. Can any other user view my profile, or is it just a select cohort of hiring managers? Can I even interact with other users on this site who aren't hiring managers? Next, after I import my resume and setup my profile, I am asked (I think) to write some sort of an article or essay with AI assistance. This step wasn't very clear, but even if it were, this is a huge ask for someone who just started using your site. The first ask should be something much less ambitious, and probably would benefit from gamification to make it feel less like homework Finally, I clicked on the explore button to try to find folks to connect with. I gave a detailed description of the personas I'm interested in to the bot, and ended up getting a "No matching Candidates found" message. I think you should at least show me something, especially when I can't seem to do a regular search / browse manually -- or suggest better queries Anyway, I know it's an MVP, and I see answers to some of my questions on your about page, but just offering this as food for thought. The overall onboarding was smooth and I appreciate the resume import experience, and I think you have a strong visual identity. Curious to see where you end up taking this
- stosssik 2y agoReally like your vision. The “no endless feeds, no humblebrags, just real people” pitch really resonates. LinkedIn feels exhausting, so I’m definitely going to give OpenSpot a try. Wishing you the best
- mdeeks 2y agoFeedback: I'd really like to be able to some some sample profiles from users before I decide to sign up and commit to anything at all. The problem with resume sites is that you only need them for a short period every X years in those months you're looking for a job. Then you never touch it again. The social features of Linkein, as awful as they are, keep users engaged and active regularly even while they are employed. Lots of people pooping all over the video feature but I think it's a pretty decent idea. Especially for roles where spoken communication is a key requirement (community, DevRel, etc). I could see it having unintended consequences though. I suppose it is something you can change your mind about later and remove.
- CaffeineLD50 2y agoIll check it out. I agree "LinkedIn sucks". What is your stance on privacy?
- noobermin 2y agoWhile I wish you well, I guess my only question is what you complain about are cultural issues with linkedin which I don't think wouldn't happen on any other platform too. Is it because it is "curated?" Couldn't anyone game that kind of curation too and then eventually the site would devolve into the same fakeness that plagues linkedin?
- aleksjess 2y agoIt looks interesting for sure. Sadly, LinkedIn is going to be relevant for quiet a long time still, just because of how many people and companies are there. Ill give your site a try.
- akshay-deo 2y agohttps://peerlist.io https://peerlist.io is a good contender too. Have you folks tried it?
- lukaslukas 2y agoit looks great!

- paul_h 2y agoLinked in is a mess, for sure. What I liked from it was verified identities.

Perhaps tossing out privacy as it does so :(
- thomscoder 2y agoThis is dope!
- fergie 2y agoI'm not sure if Linkedin is actually that 'broken'. My LinkedIn-feed has always been worse that my Facebook-feed, but that is simply because the world of work has forced me to spend time with a small minority of terrible people whom I would normally avoid. However, crucially, as a peer reviewed CV machine and recruiting platform, Linkedin is... fine. In fact its actually quite good.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoLinkedIn as a "connect me to actual jobs" as of late has been horrible. But I'm not quite sure if this site has a big enough mass to solve such an issue.
- SXX 2y agoTo be honest unlike all other social media on Linkedin it's actually possible to curate your feed and platform dont interfere. Though it's only useful for those of us who have to follow industry news and events. Being able to easily pick conversation starters is crucial and priceless for bizdev.
- andrewstuart 2y agoThe real problem is that a professional network is just kinda boring. If you replicate that aspect of LinkedIn then not much is achieved. The real opportunity is to create a trust network for granting access to send email.

- atbpaca 2y agoLooks like Linkedin with a new CSS
- desipenguin 2y agoAnyone remember polywork.com ? Their tagline was "Your professional network" They closed in early 2025 LinkedIn may suck. Let me retract that. It definitely sucks (For me - it sucks because of non-professional posts in the feed. memes, political rants, funny pics etc.) But there are good parts as well. The most important thing going on for them is they have network effect. Everyone (and their grandma, as they say) is on LinkedIn When I was interviewing, I used to check the LinkedIn profile for the candidate as well. (Lot of times, after the interview in case I had good things to say in my feedback form) Having said that - Best wishes to OpenSpot.
- zabil 2y agoThe network effect is strong, but it’s not unbeatable. History has shown that new social platforms can thrive despite the “everyone is already there” argument—Facebook vs MySpace, Insta, TikTok et al. I can’t predict how openspot will turn out, but I hope it or anything else doesn’t get caught up in the network effect narrative.
- AJ007 2y agoThe network effect also works in reverse. The collapse of a network can happen very quickly. Facebook wasn't just functionally better than Myspace. Myspace experienced two really bad things at once, uncontrolled spam and adding display ads, at the same time, in 2008. It was easy to get users to just lose their daily Myspace habit and replace it with Facebook. LinkedIn is unlikely to be mismanaged as poorly as Myspace was but there will be openings for competitors. Myspace and Facebook were unique because they were both very interchangable at that point, although Myspace was kind of like the "public" internet while Facebook had already dropped the edu email requirement, it was still heavily skewed college educated at that point. Also worth pointing out, the edu email addresses requirement for Facebook likely did a lot for keeping their early network clean of bots and spam at a minimum cost. LinkedIn, on the other hand, basically hijacked their user's address books and sent out email impersonating those users, meanwhile ignoring unsubscribe requests and spam complaints. Which certainly sounds like something someone would end up in jail for doing (they did get in trouble for this.)

- teleforce 2y agoI thought it is just me of being paranoid, but I think it'll be much better to change the domain name for more commercial and professional one. But again I also think that LinkedIn is a childish name, and is not commercial and professional as well.
- Juliate 2y agoWhy couldn't we have something decentralised there too? Like blogs/RSS or AT proto, but for CVs and networking? Some kind of protocol on top of micro formats? That still works with LinkedIn (at least in one way, as it's obvious LinkedIn won't ever reciprocate).
- pastaheld 2y agoExactly what I have been brainstorming a couple of times recently. I think it's a really cool idea, although I wouldn't know why anybody would want to switch? It would probably become rather niche (which is possibly even for the best). And if a critical mass switches over, what would prevent it from having the same kind of people and behaviour? That being said I would be absolutely down to go down that rabbithole.
- Juliate 2y ago> why anybody would want to switch? Why would a Twitter user switch to Mastodon or Bluesky or micro blogging, either on a shared public instance or on a personal instance? Why would anyone think of making a new Twitter or a new LinkedIn in 2015? (actually, it's not new, it's different because of the different premise: not a single private platform controlled by whoever owns it, but several cooperating platforms through a common protocol). Why would a Ford driver switch to a bicycle? Because while the infrastructure has not adjusted yet, it's a more sustainable, human-sized, city/neighbourhood-sized transportation tool (which, while it does not cover 100% of the cases, depending on the situation, can cover 50/80% of those), and it gives, not more power (that's irrelevant) but much more direct control about what you can do with it, where you can go. So in short: it cannot start differently than as a niche thing. > if a critical mass switches over, what would prevent it from having the same kind of people and behaviour? Hosting instances policies and moderation. Much like Mastodon does already. The actual value/service of LinkedIn is not in the data they have (it could be as well stored in a distributed database, such as the open web could be understood as). It's in how they operate/categorize/filter/report over it (their algorithms), and how they brand under their authority (which some take as some guarantee, which they are even happy to pay to).

How will you prevent the issues (say, the existence of "influencers") that turned LinkedIn into the awful place that it is today, especially if you get funded by some VC in the future?

- walthamstow 2y agoEven better, if you follow no-one, your feed will be completely empty.
- smeej 2y agoThe reason I hate LinkedIn is because I haven't had one straightforward career path. I rewrite my resume to tailor it to whatever I'm applying to next, which generally means removing all the descriptions of each of my old jobs and updating them with the tailored version every time I apply somewhere. I don't really think there's a way to fix that, because I don't think there are enough of us (or enough people looking to hire us) to build a substantial userbase. I just want to highlight it as one of the reasons some people hate LinkedIn, which has nothing to do with spammy feeds or influencers.
- eastoeast 2y agoHaving both a hardware and software background and applying to both fields, I have the same problem. The UI needs a lot of help (sidebar needs to go), but I've been building this https://thebestresumewebsite.com/ https://thebestresumewebsite.com/ to combat this issue. Basically, you can write a bunch of bullet points, then checkbox which ones you want for different variations, so you don't have to keep deleting bullet points!
- smeej 2y agoI like the idea! Mine aren't remotely as closely connected as software and hardware, though. Think more like social work and catering and property management and helping people secure their own bitcoin. I can make a case that I can do just about anything that sounds interesting to me. It just really does end up needing to be custom every time! It does sort of make me wonder if I could compile an outrageously detailed list of everything I've done in past roles and feed it to an AI to sort out how to frame things based on job description.
- apparent 2y agoHonestly seems like it would be better to build a browser extension that makes LI livable, rather than trying to david-and-goliath them. Taking them on is unlikely to succeed, and even though you'll have to adapt the extension as their site changes, you'll be able to get some passionate fans who use your tool.
- thrownaway561 2y agoLinkedIn is owned by Microsoft and is now integrated into Outlook and Office. It might suck, but it has VAST reach.
- GMoromisato 2y agoMy only advice is to make it selective--i.e., you need to apply to get your profile on it. That's the only way you will break LinkedIn's network effects.
- nhggfu 2y agothe trick on linkedin is simply to 'unfollow' everyone so you don't see their inane posts / cries for attention. I'd guess that your platform will inevitably contain the same dross. LinkedIn Lunatics are probably platform agnostic.
- chamomeal 2y agoDefinitely a good tip to unfollow everyone. I'd guess that LinkedIn Lunatics are only there because LinkedIn incentivizes that behavior by boosting that type of slop. I heard an anecdote that clicking the "show more" would count as engagement on a post, causing linkedin to show it to more people. Thus began the single-line-separated-by-spaces trend. Comments probably count as engagement too, which would explain why influencers end everything with "thoughts?" or "agree?" lmao Somewhat related: the worst linkedin post I've ever seen was a woman, who I'll call Kelsey R, sharing an image with a caption like "So inspirational, just what I needed to get through the day!" The image was a screenshot of a poem, signed by Kelsey R.

- confooseddd 2y agoI don't want to film myself. I don't want to upload my photos online. My work should do the talking. In fact, your platform is broken, since its focus on visual selling is the same bias as having photos on a resume. So you are not improving over LinkedIn. Make a primarily text only platform, and visual showcase should only be of things you have done. All non-objective things should be removed. Then make hooks for applying to jobs so everything gets filled in one click.

- TheDong 2y agoThe thing is, those "famous comments" are a form of survivorship bias. "People are saying Google Glass was silly, sounds like a dropbox comment, surely it'll become the next big thing" "People are saying the Humane AI Pin is useless, you can just use your phone, sounds like the dropbox comment lol" "People criticized ScamCoin5000 saying 'just do a regular ponzi scheme with cash lol', people also said 'just use ftp' about dropbox, so surely ScamCoin5000 will be the biggest thing since sliced bread" It's a frustrating thought-terminating cliché, and I'm really tired of hearing it at this point. "The internet started small, so that means the crypto/our ICO/NFTs/metaverse/AI is also just at the beginning but will become huge", uh huh, sure.

- adabyron 2y agoBest of luck. I've been wanting to build this for 2 years but don't have the time or passion available to do it justice. My goals overlap a lot. If you haven't seen https://huntr.co https://huntr.co I think they do a great job helping you manage job hunting. I think the social feed is LinkedIn's weakness as well. It creates a bad incentive for the company. I would use it a lot more if the feed was useful instead of fake engagement bait. Same with LinkedIn Learning being more about basic entry level courses than quality expert content. My suggestion is to help people build valuable networks that discuss actual hard topics. I've seen a few companies try to create small exclusive groups that cost money to join but they try to guarantee meaningful, intelligent discussions & sharing. LinkedIn once tried to limit your network, which I still think was the right way to run it. A popular marketing technique is to be the "Anti" company. I hope you can pull off the Anti-LinkedIn. The copywriting for that should write itself. One more aside on recruiting. LinkedIn's infamous for terrible recruiters trying to fill quotas it seems. I don't know if recruiters need limits on messaging people or some type of ranking system.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoWow — thank you for this. You totally get the pain we’re trying to solve, and I really appreciate the encouragement Funny enough, “The Anti-LinkedIn” has come up more than once during this launch - and I agree, the copy kind of writes itself when people feel the same pain. Also +1 on Huntr — great tool! We’re focused more on visibility and standing out before the apply button, but I think they complement each other well. You nailed something really important: the real opportunity is to create networks with actual signal — thoughtful discussions, deep expertise, and real connection. Not the dopamine feed. We’re starting super lightweight, but that’s absolutely part of the long-term vision. And yeah… LinkedIn Learning + random recruiter spam + engagement farming = what pushed us to build this in the first place. Thanks again for taking the time — would love to stay in touch as we build.
- 0xbadcafebee 2y agoLinkedIn was created basically for headhunters to pay to contact people and search. That's why it's such junk. It's there to trap "candidates" with an endless feed of dreck, long enough to get headhunters interested in paying to spam them. We, the candidates, don't need a place to "stand out", like an Instagram for Jobs. We shouldn't be "making content" at all. Nobody should have to create a multimedia presentation to get a job interview. My own department at work has been working for months to try to find a candidate for a couple positions. Yet there's supposedly so many people out of work? Either everyone out of work is terrible, or the way we find and filter candidates is terrible. I think it's the latter. And I think it's time for an engineering approach. No more bullshit resumes, bullshit headhunters, and bullshit social media. Let's solve this problem, once and for all. What I think we need, is fine-grained, data-informed, weighted and sorted matching. Show me the people/companies who match what I'm looking for, and sort them based on my criteria. For candidates: - How do you do your best work? (select an option, with weighting) - How many years have you practiced trunk-based development? (select an option, with weighting) - How much experience do you have with X framework? (select an option, with weighting) - How many years experience to you have working with blockchain technologies? (select an option, with weighting) For employers: - How much do performance reviews affect merit increase or bonus? (select an option, with weighting) - How much vacation time do you offer? (select an option, with weighting) - What kind of presence do you require? (select an option, with weighting) - Does your engineering department have thorough on-call documentation? (select an option, with weighting) We work in technology. We make this stuff for a living. But nobody's made a simple site to actually filter on this stuff? There's a dozen dating sites that do it. But none for jobs? Despite the fact that we all complain all the time about how hard it is to find jobs, and candidates? You may not like the examples above, but they're not the point. The point is that we all have questions we'd like to ask, either way. We'd all like to cut out all the BS, like having to tailor all your life's work down to 2 pages of one-line snippets. We'd all like to cut through candidates who won't match our company's culture. And we shouldn't have to read a bunch of 2-page summaries that don't really tell us anything, only to then have a dozen 30-minute calls just to tell us what could have been in an e-mail.
- mr90210 2y agoYou will sell out when the VC money starts flowing in. /s
- illwrks 2y agoThere are three parts to linkedin; (1) the user facing feeds, the social media part most people see (2) the recruiter platform that recruiters are addicted to, and the integrations with other platforms to this bit. (3) the advertising platform that marketers/employer brand teams can run paid targeted advertising at prospects etc. This will fail like every similar thing because Linkedin has the market sewn up from every angle. There's a reason Microsoft paid 26 billion for it. My advice to anyone, get yourself on LinkedIn, fill out your profile as much as your can, join the relevant groups in the industry you are in, network in real life.
- shadowtree 2y agoAh, another tech solution to a social cold start problem. LinkedIn's value is that everyone is on it. Even super secretive Apple employees - Apple couldn't force them to delete their stuff. Talk about a powerful network effect. Just start browsing, see for yourself: https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/people/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple/people/ LI's value is not in the UI, not in the features. Just like FB, YT, WhatsApp, etc - they took off while no one else did, not because better tech, but by hitting a virality inflection point. This is a hard problem to solve, people like Nikita Bier are the equivalent to rocket scientists in that area. And while they can launch a viral app for teenagers, the "easiest" early adopter group, repeatedly and flip it for cash - they can't figure out how to crack LinkedIn. Think of it as a virus/pandemic problem. Who are the super spreaders that pull in the rest of the normies? What is the initial value for THEM to join in the first place? I can tell you that a special social network for Doctors, publicly listed now, had to give their initial cohort of docs STOCK in the company to be on the platform. Talk about dilution... So, sorry, forget about the shiny UI. How do you infect and take over the LinkedIn host? They fight scraping left and right. Personally I am so happy to work in enterprise SaaS...so much easier than the above :)
- fliellerjulian 2y agoCouldn’t agree more — this is definitely a cold start + network effects problem at its core. We’re under no illusion that we can out-network LinkedIn by being shinier or faster. You nailed it: their true moat isn’t tech, it’s scale and inertia. Everyone’s on it, even if they hate it. That’s what makes it both frustrating and interesting to challenge — not because it's easy, but because it’s overdue. We’re not trying to beat LinkedIn at their own game (at least not yet) — we’re focused on solving one painful wedge: helping people actually stand out and get discovered without shouting into a noisy feed or spraying cold applications into the void. If we can win on that one slice of user need (especially among early-career folks, designers, PMs, indie hackers, etc.), we believe there’s room to build up a meaningful alternative, piece by piece. Small, high-signal networks that grow from the edge rather than trying to eat the core from day one. Appreciate the thoughtful challenge — these are exactly the conversations that keep us grounded and ambitious at the same time.
- naikrovek 2y agoWhew, I was hoping there’d be a second LinkedIn at some point. Surely it will not be very quickly ruined by influencers like everything else, ever.

- futhey 2y agoThere's a lot of correct feedback about why this is not an amazing start for something starting as a marketplace for talent. This could be a beautiful start for a Linkedin alternative focused on freelancers, entrepreneurs, etc. Maybe even people in specific industries whose Linkedin currently does more than get them their next job (sales comes to mind, but also folks who work at design agencies and need to get clients, and have a profile they attach somewhere in the about us section).
- 8mobile 2y agoLinkedIn has definitely gotten worse but your solution seems too social to me, a more sober version of LinkedIn would be enough Thanks
- mnky9800n 2y agoTbh all LinkedIn could do is get rid of the feed and I would be happy.
- DeathArrow 2y agoWhat would be an argument that this platform sucks less? I don't want to record videos of me presenting myself. LinkedIn seems simple. I post a CV and I toggle if I am open to work or not. Recruiters can find me and I can search for jobs and apply to them. That is all the functionality I need apart from having lots of jobs available on the platform.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoTotally valid — if LinkedIn is working for you, that’s awesome. The reason OpenSpot might "suck less" for some is because it focuses only on one thing: helping people stand out. No feed, no fluff, no algorithm — just a clean, curated profile where you can show off your skills, projects, and intent in a way that cuts through the noise. And to be clear: you don’t have to record a video. That’s optional. Some people link to projects, write a short blurb, or just highlight their strengths in a more human way than a traditional CV. It’s not a LinkedIn replacement — it’s an alternative for those who feel like they’re getting buried in the system and want more visibility without the social media layer. Appreciate the honest question!
- DeathArrow 2y agoFair enough, thank you for the answer.
- marginalia_nu 2y agoSeems like an inherent contradiction to try to stand out using a platform designed to help people to stand out. If you wish to stand out, doing something differently seems like a better option. At least in my personal experience, having a personal website where I write about interesting stuff I do has opened a lot more doors than linkedin ever did.
- malthaus 2y agothe future where you have to be a micro-influencer and sell (to use the diplomatic word) yourself out on social media to land a job is a dystopian one.
- noeltock 2y agoThought it would be more "open"/federated/open-source. Honestly not interested in another platform like this.
- remoroid 2y agoI hate it. That is my first impression and I'm sticking to it. Ugly, soul-less, modern design typified by giant typography, dark mode, huge blank spaces, and an annoying video of the person shilling themself. I hate the name as well. "Hey" is not a polite greeting. It hope this fails tremendously. What a waste of time.
- re-thc 2y ago> soul-less, modern design What happened to UX as of late? We have buttons that look like labels and you can no longer tell what's actionable anymore. Is it "modern" or confusing?
- agnishom 2y ago> "Hey" is not a polite greeting. > I hope this fails tremendously. What a waste of time. Now, which is more polite? A common greeting, or wishing failure on someone who wanted to showcase their web design skills?
- remoroid 2y agoI cant with this man. How did you not realize that my offhand comment on a web board doesn't call for the same level of politeness as the front page of a platform for professionals. And to characterize it as "wanted to showcase their web design skills". Its a startup. I don't feel like I'm a smart guy but damn are you stupid.
- vanschelven 2y agoI understand (and even agree to) the general sentiment, but it seems there would be a more constructive way to express this.
- oytis 2y ago> But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that? Obviously, because if you make a whole platform like that, nobody stands out any more, but everyone if forced to do more (unpaid) work than they did before. For the recruiters/hiring managers it is impossible to process video and audio at scale either.
- fliellerjulian 2y agoTotally fair point — and one we’ve thought a lot about. The goal with OpenSpot isn’t to force everyone to do more unpaid work or replace resumes entirely — it’s to give people who want to stand out an easy, high-signal way to do so, especially if they’re not getting traction through traditional means. For recruiters, the platform is curated and searchable, so they’re not sifting through hundreds of TikTok-style intros — they’re seeing real signals of quality, with depth if they want it. We're not trying to increase the noise — we're trying to cut through it.
