A new type of CV for the connected world.

RemoteCV was made in a 100hours challenge. During the challenge I regularly tweeted in a thread the whole process. You can check the thread on my twitter: @samilkarahisar. I think formal CVs are not the way to go for remote job applications. We need an online, better solution for our resume/CVs. Thats the whole idea here 🐣

Good work Şamil! I think that show what you built is the best thing to highlight your experience. Do you plan to connect RemoteCV with some API? Like Product Hunt data launches or Twitter (I think you can grab some important info in the twitter bio) so the template could be updated directly.

@yesnoornext I will definitely connect it with ProductHunt API in the next few days, I just didn't have time for that during the challenge. About the twitter bio though, I wonder if it would work, lets take yours for example: "@cheepo2109 is my best friend • Co-founder of @threader_app", even though it is a remote CV Vincent, I am not sure talking about your bestfriends is a good idea 🤣

@cheepo2109 @threader_app @samilkarahisar I think talking about your best friend with your contractor or employer is the best thing to do to see if they value you. I wouldn’t hide my friendship with Adil if someone would like to hire me.

Besides not thinking there is anything wrong with traditional CVs (it is just a list of your past accomplishments, does form really matter?), I wonder what this product does that similar online CV builders (e.g. Maker.rocks) doesn't?

@enjoythecode it is not that form really matters, it's just that with this your online CV is one click away from your potential job giver. I will make this compatible with my other website makertask.com, so freelancers can apply to tasks with their remoteCV. Maker.rocks is only for makers, and most of it is about maker logs and maker related stuff. Online CV builders are fine too, but they only give you a pdf as much as i know. my idea is to host your CV and if you also need a pdf, well i do that too.

Recently, I watched @aidenbuis build OpenHabits during a 100h challenge. I thought he was amazing. That inspired me to take the same challenge and build something great myself. I happen to be a student too. So I do have a CV and often send it for internship applications and stuff. I also read and think a lot about how the working world changes. Observation: The shift to a world where everyone works from home is real and happening. Thinking: The classic resume/CV templates we use for our job applications can not be a good idea in a remote job application. Solution: Create the new CV, that is: Remotecv Please tell me what you think about it. This is my 2nd product launch on ProductHunt, and I am even more excited than the first time. Also, if you find any bugs, please report.
