Hey Product Hunt! π Iβm Marco, the dude behind ICDB.gg.
I honestly built this platform out of pure frustration. I was tired of the YouTube algorithm feeding me the same five videos on a loop, and in my time as a creator myself (@blakemusic on YouTube), I got incredibly frustrated finding talented professionals to help me on my journey. I also am really starting to hate algorithm-driven discovery and am trying to will the internet back to human recommendations π
So ICDB is basically the IMDb of the creator economy. It connects all three sides of the industry: Creators, Talent and Fans.
I built this solo (AI-assisted) in my free time as I usually work as a UX designer. Although I do have some development experience, this is my first fully fledged backend, so I am quite certain something will break. So I'd highly appreciate if you come poke around and find out what.
I'm here all day to answer questions about the tech stack, the roadmap, or whatever else is on your mind! If you're a creator and like what this might be in the future, feel free to reach out.

Also, as a disclaimer: Currently the platform is heavily focused on YouTube (and Twitch). In the future, I want to add other platforms (TikTok, Instagram etc.) as well, but for the moment, I focused on what I know best.

Such a sleeper of an idea!!!! Love it! Saw Skill Up and immediately upvoted. Don't know why!!!
Love the product, though I don't know if people will keep coming back to the site unless there's something unique about the creator that they wouldn't find on YouTube. maybe get all the content from 1 creator in 1 place. That might be a strong value addition. Best of luck mate π Rooting for you.

@richard_andrews4Β Hey Richard! Thanks so much, I appreciate it, even more so from another SkillUp connoisseur π I see what you mean, that's very good feedback. I hope to get creators on the platform adding info like their equipment, trivia, and especially the crew to their creator profile, which I hope already adds quite a bit of value ('I wonder what camera [creator] uses...', 'These videos are really well edited, I wonder who does that?' etc.). It relies heavily on actually getting some key users on the platform, which will be one of my next goals.
But I can see that bucketing all their content onto one unified platform could also be a value add that I will look into. Not looking forward to some of the API integrations though :)
Anyway, much thanks for stopping by and giving me your words of encouragement!
