What projects exist to consolidate our professional identity online?


What used to be just LinkedIn, has now grown to be Twitter, Instagram, Medium, Stack Overflow, and many other platforms. Is there a service / product that allows me (as a user) to consolidate one timeline from everything that I post across different social media platforms?

It's difficult to curate content across multiple platforms. Likely due to duplicate detection. It may be a good idea for a startup, if you can group similar items so the feed isn't messy, it'll look clean. Think android notifications.

Sibling commenters are correct, I think a static site generators are the gold standard, since you'll be able to curate the feed to the way you usually post. Judging by your interest in aggregating, it seems Gatsby may be a fit:

Gatsby allows aggregating sources, e.g. https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-source-twitter/, https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-source-instagram/, https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-source-medium/

From scratch, I created a CV that aggregates all my GitHub stuff and hard codes the rest:

v1: https://cv.git-pull.com, https://github.com/tony/cv/tree/v1/react

v2: https://cv-react-v2.git-pull.com, https://github.com/tony/cv

I see a lot of people on Instagram using Linktree. For example, this arbitrary user...

A personal website/blog referenced in the profile/bio of all of those other services?

There were many in the past but the social media platforms slowly closed their garden for them, not sure if they are still a thing. I remember hootsuite, tweetdeck and the likes.

Out of curiosity, what is the objective of this?
