@kersten_broich Hey Kersten, yep just saw the error in the logs - seems like our AI did not detect your resume as an actual "resume" ^^ Just adjusted the prompt, so please try again - you can also sign up with your linkedin url to create an account if you want.
Cheers! :)

I feel like the job search on LinkedIn works alright but the networking is nightmarish. Curious to see if you can take the Goliath down. Good luck with the launch!
Unrelated question : What tools did you use to make the GIFs on your landing page?
finally something different! i've had enough of all the BS on linkedin lately, seriously. it's just noise most days ( T_T). openspot looks like a breath of fresh air, maybe a place where you can actually show who you are? not just buzzwords. looks really clean. nice job and congrats on the launch team!!
I’m Julian, one of the co-founders of Openspot and we’re building a platform born from the frustrations we've all felt with traditional, static resumes and outdated networking platforms.
Let’s be honest:
📉 LinkedIn feels more like Facebook than a hiring / networking platform.
📎 Resumes are just decorated bullet points and aren't built for a competitive job market. How do you get to know someone or stand out through bullet points?
🤝 Networking? Awkward and superficial.
We built Openspot because we were tired of feeling invisible in a sea of sameness.
What makes it hit:
📹 Add a short video or voice intro
🪩 Beautiful profiles that feel human
🎯 Built for standing out, not feeding the content machine
🔍 Recruiters can search you via natural language (yes, really)
🧑🎤 Prompts that help people understand the person behind the profile.
We started this with a simple hack: building personal sites and video resumes that actually worked. Now we’ve turned it into something anyone can use in minutes.
🚀 We hit #1 on Hacker News last week with 450+ comments and wild feedback.
🛠️ We're raw, bootstrapped, and building this for people like us.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked or boxed in by traditional platforms: try Openspot.
We’d love your feedback, your ideas, and yeah… even your roasts.
Let’s make job searching and networking actually human.
I love the idea of multimedia profiles! 👍

@soso_dotcom Thanks so much, Sophie! We used Adobe After Effects! ◡̈
@kassidycurrey Thank you! I tried using Canva but the final design was disappointing, I'll try After Effects
