Your best work is probably under an NDA, so nobody can see it. Nobody trusts CVs anymore, they are so fakeable. Redential reads your git history on your own machine and turns it into a profile of what you actually built. Never your code, and you see exactly what gets shared before it does. Then you defend it live, answering questions about your own work. The result: a credential recruiters can trust more than a CV. The CLI is free and open source.

This hits close to home — I'm self-taught and just launched my first product today. My git history is basically the only proof I have that I actually learned to build something real, since I don't have a traditional resume line to point to. Turning that into something shareable is such an obvious-in-hindsight idea. Congrats on the launch!
@luyuan_liu This is exactly who we built it for tbh. Self-taught devs have the strongest proof there is (the work itself) and nowhere to point to it. Run npx redential scan on your repo, takes a minute, no account needed, and you'll see what your history says about you. And congrats on YOUR launch today, big day for both of us!

@jpbelmo Thanks, Juan — and congrats to you too! The local-first angle is what makes Redential especially interesting to me. Turning work history into something shareable without asking developers to expose their actual code solves a very real problem for self-taught builders. Big launch day for both of us indeed!
reading git history instead of asking people to write a portfolio is a genuinely good idea, most portfolios are curated fiction anyway. the "defend it live" step is what sells it for me - that's the part that actually separates someone who understands their own commits from someone who just merged a PR someone else wrote.
@omri_ben_shoham1 Thanks Omri! Really appreciate it. The defense is where we're putting most of the work, first one is free if you want to try it on your own repo.
If you want to contribute to our open source repo, happy to have you there!
