Ripping off the Band-Aid: Introducing devv.me

To be honest, I've been agonizing over the silliest little details on this project for way too long. But "perfect" is the enemy of "shipped." So, I'm officially ripping off the band-aid. Welcome to the very early version of devv.me.

To be honest, I've been agonizing over the silliest little details on this project for way too long. But "perfect" is the enemy of "shipped." So, I'm officially ripping off the band-aid.

Welcome to the very early version of devv.me.

Right now, the goal is simple: think of it as a Linktree, but specifically designed for developers. We all have our work scattered across GitHub, LinkedIn, personal blogs, and portfolio sites, and I wanted a convenient way to centralize all that engineering and tech content in one spot.

I'm building this with two main scenarios in mind.


For job seekers, if you are looking for a new role, this profile gives hiring managers a snapshot of who you are in 10 to 15 seconds. It saves them from digging through endless tabs to find your best repos, giving you a much faster way to make an impression. (I'm actually planning a couple of AI-related features down the road that will help this a ton).

For creators, creating content or writing code makes it easier for other devs to discover your work. But this isn't just about sharing content—it's about how we consume it. X (Twitter) and social media in general are getting way too distracting. I love the community, but every time I log in to check on things, I end up doom-scrolling and wasting way too much time. That's why I'm building a "Follow" feature where you receive updates only from the creators you care about. No noise, no distractions, just the content you want. This is a feature I desperately want to use myself.
I have a ton of ideas to make this a powerful platform, but I want to build it in public and get some feedback.

So please, take a look and let me know what you think. What's broken? What's missing? What features would actually help you?
