Show HN: I built sinkedin – a LinkedIn but for flauting failures and screwups
sinkedin.appHi HN,
I saw joke online about wanting a version of Linkedin for failures. I thought it was a great idea, so I decided to build a simple version of it.
Sinkedin is a place to post (anonymously) stories about job rejections, interview screw-ups and other carrer failures.
Website: https://www.sinkedin.app/ Github: https://github.com/Preet-Sojitra/sinkedin
I am not a designer, so the UI is very minimalistic. If it triggers your OCD, PRs are very welcome.
The entire stack is running on free tiers, so please expect some latency if it gets any traffic. I wanted to ship it fast and see if the idea has legs before spending money.
Happy to answer any questions.
The site doesn't seem to understand what anonymously means: "Continue with Google"?
What's the point of having a barrier of creating a throwaway email to post a story?
Think this is funny. How did you make the website? Asking out of of curiosity, it looks like one I made with Windsurf a while back
haha, it will look similar because I coded it with claude and gemini 2.5 pro. During brainstorming I just asked claude to make static html mocks and this is the best version that I was able to achieve. I feel like improving color scheme but AI peaked at this color theme as is unable to give better results
Is this "the future"?
Someone whips up and deploys something with an LLM, but is unable to change a colour scheme because "computer says no".
At the same time you need to register and provide an email. How confident are you about what to do when there's a leak?
fun concept, but why require sign up at all? anon posting seems central to the idea and spam could be managed through creative system design, at least in the early stages
Actually before even visiting - I'd sign up. I make plenty of mistakes in my personal career learning but how you learn from screwing up is what I'd want to learn about from others so I'd be. inclined to post about my own. To err is to human and all that
