Hello PH, I'm Rong, a Software Developer that has been working on Showwcase for the last 10 months now. Developers can connect, share their knowledge and showcase their projects with like-minded individuals. As the world is increasingly filled with more and more developers, we thought we'd build one around developer workflows, tools, and features. Our initial frustration was using platforms where "connections" are meaningless, messages become spam, community becomes top-down, and profile pages are "general" in nature (not optimised for who we are). On Showwcase, you can share blogs, videos, projects (Shows), short messages (Threads), connect with developers you've worked with, and have customisable profiles. If you are a content creator for developers, Showwcase helps you make money by putting your content behind a paywall. Whether you write daily Javascript development articles, share advice for a programmers career, or make video tutorials about certain frameworks, Creators can grow their own communities, connect with an audience, and earn money sharing their knowledge with paid subscribers. Some of the features we're proud of: - WorkedWith connections - Creating Shows with specialised components (Code blocks, Markdown, Gists) - Sharing code blocks within Threads - Customisable profiles - Status sharing - Getting paid for your knowledge as a content creator For content creators, we're giving out 6 months of 0% take rate from Showwcase. Please reach out to anyone in the team or just to all of us at team@showwcase.com We're still in the early stages and have a long way to go, we welcome all kinds of feedback and hope the platform brings any tech/coders/devs value. If you have any, please drop them in the comments below! Thanks! Rong, Faizan, Roman and Faisal

If this had a little more of a responsive feel and was a little less derivative of Twitter, it would be my new favourite platform. Keep working on this, I love it!

@ridafakih Hi Rida, we absolutely agree. We're working on a new UI that's optimised around developer workflows. If you know a designer we can hire, ping us! Sometimes us devs aren't the best designers...

@ridafakih Thank you for your vote of confidence!

I believe that this is a complete home run. And I don't see why someone would not want this. I'm a complete fool when it comes to doing things on my PC Good luck to all who know what they are doing as I see there is some big bucks to make from this software.

@thatguyagain Thanks Kenneth! We really believe in a future where developer creators lead the community's development. There is a huge opportunity for creators as more developers join our increasingly software driven world. Let us know if you have any feedback, we want to give creators ~0 cost to get going.

Looks interesting!

Such developers now help very well in the development of our community. Both in business and in other industries like medicine. This often helps automate the workflow. I liked the information on the https://8allocate.com/, where software development specialists work, in almost all areas. They also constantly recruit new specialists.
