Hello Product Hunt community! I’m Anna, co-founder at Meander. Over the past years, I've had hundreds of conversations with people who: - felt that they were stuck - thought that their efforts were underappreciated - wanted to urgently develop a certain skill - didn't understand how to get a promotion. Surprisingly, when I asked how they knew it was a problem, most didn't have an answer; they simply _assumed_. To be honest, I've made the same mistake myself, and more than once. I would sign up for a course thinking I had a skill gap, while in fact, I didn't - or the particular skill wasn't relevant to my goals. I'd feel frustrated about not growing in my role, not realizing I was actually making meaningful progress. I found an easy way to fix this: to understand where you stand, to feel less like an impostor, and to identify your strengths. And it is – through asking your network to share their observations with you. Your past and current peers, managers, reports, and mentors can be an incredible source of insight and information, and it's surprising how many people miss this opportunity to learn about themselves. At Meander, we decided to build for you an easy way to collect these insights and transform them into a meaningful list of actions aligned with your goals. We'd love it if you could give it a try and share your thoughts!

That's a great mentoring space, for real! I'm in love with how the Meander team organizes the mentoring process at all stages, from onboarding to finding mentors, publishing mentee' objectives, and doing mentor work at last!

Congrats on the launch!

Hey Product Hunt community! I'm Daria, designer of Meander right from the start. Our two-year journey has been filled with experimentation and learning. As someone smart once said, 'We don't know what we don't know yet,' and this rings so true! We often aren't aware of the gaps in our skills, what others perceive as our strengths, or how to become our best selves. We remain in the dark... until we ask. We've realized that accessible, clear, qualitative data from professionals who know us is crucial for career success, yet it's hard to find. I firmly believe that feedback is essential for developing skills, but gathering it can be challenging. People are busy, and providing structured, motivational feedback is no easy task. That's why we've ventured into the realm of career insights with Meander. Our goal? To lessen the stress of both giving and receiving data about our professional self. We're here to help you make informed, data-driven decisions about the skills you want to develop, the careers you aim to build, and the challenges you wish to overcome. Join us on this journey and feel free to share your feedback, thoughts, and insights!

Interesting, especially for those uncertain and looking to move horizontally for example. Have a great launch!

In the past I often found myself lacking feedback from the people around me. I always like to understand what I am doing well and what I can do to improve myself. That's why I'm very proud of the product we created and I hope that other people gain helpful insights for their career development from it. :)

Woah so It's like having a personalized career coach in your pocket?

Hi Anna, congrats on this exciting new feature! It looks just like 360 review and I love that you added an AI assistant to summarize and anonymize the feedback. I think it will make the reviews more sincere and therefore actionable. Great job! I'll try it out with my colleagues!

I like the design choices, and the simplistic and very clean brand logo. . Congrats on the launch

This is a very interesting product

Hey everyone 😊, I'm Manel, Head of Marketing at Meander! I joined this amazing team 4 months ago and have been using Meander since then for my own career development (super inspiring and energising to exchange and learn from you, my mentors on the platform!). I'm very excited about the launch of our new feedback tool today for a few reasons: - We’ve all been there… receiving feedback that’s well-intentioned but doesn’t quite hit the mark, leading to frustration or demotivation. Our tool can save hours of questioning :). We wait until feedback is shared by at least 3 people to create and send an unbiased report of insights, reviewed by a career coach - On top of the summarised insights, the person also receives a list of recommended actions. It helps build a career development plan that’s based on real insights from people who work or worked with you - And finally - you can ask for informal feedback more frequently, knowing it won’t be a daunting task for the person sharing their insights! Hope you find our new tool useful too!! :) We can't wait to hear what you think.

Awesome way to meet new people and learn from the best mentors!

I have no idea what it does. Can you explain please? It looks nice, though - congrats for that!

Well, no secrets there, success is my driving force! Over the past six months, I've had the opportunity to hear and celebrate many amazing winning moments, as well as observe the growth of both learners and mentors on Meander. And it's an incredibly rewarding experience! It makes me feel proud and inspired to be part of the continuous evolution and development of this already amazing product, which helps more and more people on a daily basis with their careers. Not everyone needs to be in a constant state of growth, true that. But it's important for everyone to have an understanding of where they stand and how they can remain relevant in this fast-paced world. I'm super excited to see how our new tools will help and empower people on this journey!

Congratulations on the launch, @anna_buldakova1! This seems like a valuable tool for anyone exploring new career opportunities. The job market can be overwhelming, and having a tool like this to streamline the process is fantastic.

Congrats on the launch, @anna_buldakova1! I love this new addition and can see how valuable this is, both in a corporate environment and beyond.

Nice

I've been one meander for some time and it's amazing to see the platform developing further! Congrats on the launch! 🚀🎉

Interesting product, congrats for the team on the launch!

Very cool! I love the idea of lightweight feedback mechanisms. I've seen services like this for a long time targeted at companies for use in performance reviews and career tracking, but never also targeted at individuals tracking feedback personally. The simple UI is nice!
