Thanks for the warm welcome Peter!
Some offhand observations:
-
One technical specific comment is comments behave like inputs. Maybe it's my fault but, I can't seem to use Shift or Alt Enter when writing a reply comment, i mean like a textarea. Actually, I am writing this on my editor so I get to write my reply easier before copy pasting it. 😅

On app uniqueness - A bit of my background is i do dev work fulltime and teach web dev on the side, so I think I can really use this to track my progress in my tech career. Comparing to others my current thoughts are: Linkedin surely is for networking especially when applying jobs so thats that, github profile can serve as an online resume too that's closer to code contributions, but polywork seems to focus more on documenting success (I found polywork from this link: https://github.com/readme/guides/document-success, shared by our CTO in our slack.). Closer to a personal blog, but more of a timeline i guess, like a social network maybe, but for doing career work!
I kinda want to create my long overdue personal blog but i never get around to it so far, and actually a blog is really for detailed posts, so for now, for mini updates just like the PR that i just did, polywork gave me the ease to just start it!
Polywork seems to strike at a unique intersection, crossing between blogging, networking, documenting. So kudos to the idea. Excited to explore more on this!
