Are there any 'Profile Page as a Service' available for developers?

Question

Do you guys know of any Profile Page as a Service for software developers, that can automatically fetch user's profile data from GitHub, UpWork, Freelancer, and other sites and show them all in one place like an updated RESUME?If not, would you be willing to use such a service (FREE or PAID?) if it existed. And how much would you be willing to pay for such a service?

It&rsquo;s called LinkedIn. You have to maintain your own profile but it has an audience of people looking to hire no other service has.

I'm working on something just like this: https://profiled.app. There's a lot of improvements to make still and I a lot of features I intend to add to make it much more than simply a data aggregator.

Funny you ask, me and other people built something like this a few years (actually 7 years&hellip;) ago. It never really got past a few hundred initial users, thus has been shut down meanwhile.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5125028

Gregjor has the right answer. I know this might seem like a nice startup idea, but unless you know a group of people really feeling pained that there's no LinkedIn alternative, I would be wary. All good solutions start with a problem.

I had similar idea. I think you have very good addition which I did not think of. Let's try to discuss this in some chat.
