SpringRole - A LinkedIn alternative on the blockchain

We started the company in 2014 by matching jobs with resumes using LinkedIn’s API, scaled to $50K MRR and then LinkedIn shut us down. Now you can’t even get access to their API without talking to them. They own all your data and decide what they want to do with it. Decentralization lets users control their data and decide what to do with it. Your profile on SpringRole is something you want to be able to customize, enrich with different modules, get it verified and finally own it. Exciting times ahead!

We are very happy to introduce SpringRole to the ProductHunt community. Our mission with SpringRole is to enable everyone's #VerifiedProfessionalProfile on the Blockchain. SpringRole is the platform where people can view, share and get attestations on their professional profile, thereby creating a verified resume that they can share and use. A user’s educational qualifications and work experience are verified by the organisations themselves and written directly to the blockchain. To assess a user’s skill set, SpringRole has a system of weighted endorsements that let users objectively look at people’s profiles and assess their skill level.

Registered on this platfom probably 2-3 months ago, and it still looks the same on outer. Could have done facelift and made little more impressive. Also, I did all the verification process and yet it shows as 50% verified and the tokens hasn't been rewarded for the verifications done. The support said me these issues would be solved once they would complete moving to their blockchain, but it was more than a month ago, and haven't been solved yet. Plus for last few days, I can't seem to login to my account. Yeah tried different browsers, clear cookies and everything. No success or whatsoever!

Pros:

Feels good to use decentralized professional platform

Cons:

Looks like it's still primitive, regular sign-in error, and unsolved token rewards

Having your professional profile validated on the blockchain brings about a seamless way to authenticate and showcase your work experience, and opens the door to a new era which eliminates the need for time consuming background checks. We have worked hard to make the skill endorsements meaningful and used a weighting algorithm for optimum authenticity. Please do try the product and tell us your feedback.

SpringRole, it's not just alternative to LinkedIn it is one of its kind. Having a #VerifiedProfessionalProfile on the blockchain with super easy UI anyone one can have their SpringRole profile within a few minutes. With skill endorsement, we are going towards skill-based profile rather than who have more connections.

Hi there! I'd love to use the product, but I've been fighting with the login a few times now. I can't get past the step where I enter my user name and e-mail address (i.e. https://springrole.com/userinfo ). This is after I've logged in via Blockstack; I click "Continue", yet nothing happens. Help, please.

I used a temporary email to set up a basic account and to test the system before doing it for real but, after clicking submit I got a 'something went wrong' message with no indication of what. Would love to join but I need to test before committing.

Pros:

A very useful, possibly powerful, tool to have in your company's pocket.

Cons:

'Something went wrong'. No indication of what that 'something' was.

Great and clean UX something that is not there on linkedin. Linkedin keeps spamming me to send invites to all my friends. And linkedin has become more like facebook now. Some random shitty posts keep clogging my feed
