rohanmahen··on Show HN: I made a site to simplify recommending talented people to others
Exactly yeah, so for instance you can see people who recommend you + the people they recommend to expand your network. I totally get the transparency thing (coveted contacts and all) but I think its more about helping people out in their career, so its gotta be public

Hmm you're right, it's more likely you would get value from this if someone vouched for u / you vouch for others, haven't thought about how to help people without a network yet. Open to suggestions tho!

I tried LinkedIn but its corporate garb nowadays. connections are like follower lists, recommendations are fluffy ( Great Communicator, Hard Worker) and there's no curation, everyone hands out recommendations left and right
