Nostr Web Client

Is there a LinkedIn like professional network or job board built on Nostr? If not, is anyone building one or thinking about it? Anything concrete beyond jobstr like hashtags?

I know a lot of folks here think of LinkedIn as one of the cringiest platforms ever created, but given its current level of enshittification, there's certainly room to replace it. Plus, it would do wonders to advocate for Nostr outside of BTC and crypto circles and attract folks that otherwise wouldn't touch Nostr. As far as I can tell, ActivityPub doesn't have a LinkedIn alternative either, so Nostr could be the first decentralised LinkedIn replacement, or at least one of the first open alternatives.

Yes there is a a site, I haven't used it in a while. It was one of those fire and forget. The developer abandoned it (he's a funded dev and moved into other projects) and no one seems to use it or advertise to it.

Linkedin is awful. They made me install an app (had to borrow a device with play services) then they wanted a selfie, a picture of my drivers license AND a picture of my passport. Run by a 3rd party. I said GFY and they locked my profile. I can't log in or ask for support. You can't get support if you can't log in.

To be clear "a while" is like 6 months. I checked it around Christmas time I believe.

Sorry for your awful experience. You are not missing much. Most jobs are fake, the tool has became increasingly buggy and the algorithm basically burries everything but product and sales people pedaling GenAI. LinkedIn surely has seen better days. Do you remember the name of the abandoned site by any chance?

No need apologize for big tech panopticon. I've noticed that about everything. Seems like you kind of need to know someone to get a job these days. Most listings everywhere are "fake", even ones listed on company websites when applying directly.

Yeahp, blooming economy... I love the early 2000's look of this one. Also the toggle between dark mode and... well... darker mode is fun :).

Thanks for sharing. nostr:nprofile1qqspwwwexlwgcrrnwz4zwkze8rq3ncjug8mvgsd96dxx6wzs8ccndmcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2uctyqxu5, are you "done done" with this one? Like throwaway experiment? Or is it just a low priority thing that works as is and you may still revisit later?
