The short answer to "what's the best LinkedIn alternative in 2026" is this: builders aren't looking for another feed. They're looking for a professional network that was actually designed, not just maintained. That's the gap forg.to is built to close. Here's why the gap exists ... ... already starting to look dated by 2015. LinkedIn is that same shape, just wearing a suit. A vertical feed. Text posts from people you loosely know. Ads wedged in every few scrolls. A notification bell that never stops lighting

... that webcam-based eye tracking is a fundamentally different problem from hardware-based tracking. Hardware trackers use infrared illumination to precisely detect the pupil and corneal reflections. A webcam gives you RGB frames of a face, at whatever lighting conditions exist in the user's environment, at whatever angle they happen to be sitting at.    The challenge isn't just detecting where the eyes are. It's detecting the gaze vector the direction the person is actually looking ... ... image that varies with head position, lighting

... with zero budget from nigeria is honestly impressive. most people with 10x the resources can't even get their first user lol Comment from Ognjen Adzic(@ognjenadzic28): @nolan_vu  I like that way of thinking about it. "Irreversible vs. reversible" is a really clean way to frame it. That's actually pretty close to how we're approaching PennyOne. Our view is that autonomy should be earned. If someone consistently approves a certain type of action with little ... ... podcasts versus

What is the limit that bothers you in interacting with AI vs what feels fine? A/ Interacting with a bot B/ Interacting with content being 100% generated C/ The person giving the idea, and asking AI to write an answer. D/ Asking AI to rewrite E/ Correcting with AI It was funny ... ... safe and always AI-compatible. The thing that can get you fired if you apply it to the wrong deal that's the signal.

... eigenst ndige Pr senz wirken kann, ist https://der-arkadenhof.at/ . Comment from YekSoon Lok(@ys_askodin): Having operated on both sides of the table as an allocator and a founder, I view this through a different lens. The binary of "personal brand vs. product" is a distraction. The actual prerequisite is Thesis and Positioning . At askOdin, before we wrote a single line of code for our Deterministic Compiler, we established the exact taxonomy of the market. We identified that the last mile ... ... think "build the brand" advice sometimes becomes an excuse to not build the hard thing.

... paid tier feel fair rather than extractive. Comment from yurukusa(@yurukusa): @Nika Yes the biggest one was when we audited our own product and realized the free version had MORE features than the paid version. 10 hooks free vs 6 in the paid tier. Nobody would pay for less. That forced us to rethink: paid isn't "premium features behind a wall." It's "everything free, plus the packaging that saves you time."

... term vibe coding , I had a visceral reaction namely, a full-body cringe. As a developer who takes pride in actually understanding my code, the phrase sounded like a bad joke. Coding by vibe? What does that even mean light some incense, play lo-fi beats, and let the code write itself? In my mind, AI coding assistants were meant to assist me (suggest a snippet here, autocomplete a line there), not replace the real work. The idea of surrendering ... ... vibe coding.
