Hi all, I'm Dan, founder of Stryve (Formally Digital Profile). Over the last 6 months the business has been going through a transformation process, evaluating who we are, why we exist, and what we’re trying to achieve. We’ve created the foundations to help us grow, it’s time to take our vision to the next step! Our new platform you will be able to post, rate, suggest learning resources & ask for career guidance from the community. You’ll be able to follow friends and peers through their learning journey, and find out what people are learning. We’ll match you to relevant career opportunities, courses, books, meetups, people, and much more. This is a new chapter and I welcome any feedback.

This looks really interesting Dan. It feels more like a social network to me. I recently left Facebook (after taking a break). There was lots I liked (the chance to connect, learn, share, etc.) but just too much I didn't like (the effect on mental health, the invasion of privacy, the questionable ethics, etc.). I'm sure I'm not alone. Is part of the move you've made here to capitalise on this feeling?

@garethkthomas Yeah I've got fedup of junk "feeds". I wanted to create a place where you could actually find communities to be apart of from a learning sense & that was privacy focused.

@danlewistech Sounds exciting. Looking forward to watching it grow.

What stage of career is this best suited for, Dan?
Dan Lewis

@neilcocker Great question. Its for any level. People are posting learning material from all different levels. In fact one of the features you can say what level you think it's best for.

@danlewistech Great news. Hope it goes well!

Dan - this looks awesome! Interested to know what made you pivot into learning platform from digital CVs ? Thanks Baf
Dan Lewis
Maker
@product_wow We always wanted to do more with learning, just never knew how we wanted to do it. The profile CV and jobs will still be part of the platform but a secondary outcomes rather than primary.
Scott Goddard
Think this looks great. What sort of things are people sharing and posting?

@scott_goddard2 Could be anything from a question around tech to people recommending blogs, articles, podcasts, books, meetups, ect to help guide others.

As an avid Quora reader I can definitely see the need for this - love it!

@elliot_thomas Quora was one of the sites we researched :)

Hey Dan, love the look of the product and the name. What type of content should I be posting and can businesses post content?
Dan Lewis
Maker
@brooke_williams Good questions, content posts can be blogs, articles, podcasts, books, videos, ect that could help someone else improve their skills/knowledge base. We will have a feature for businesses in the near future to post to communities but very limited on what they can post. Not to interfere with the community aspect.

Such a good tool for the technical among us, who don't want a technical interface when discovering, learning, looking for subject matter experts and work. A great place to connect. And knowing that it puts privacy, transparency and user control first just adds to the sense of this being a safe place to collaborate. Certainly recommend.

@timd79 Thanks for the feedback Tim. Glad you like.

Love the product, not a big fan of the UI. The top bar is quite big and it "sticky"!! Why?? It is blocking my view. Also the screen is full of so many elements! Learn from PH, Indiehackers etc.

@itsshashank Hi Shashank, thanks for the feedback. This is phase 1 and we will be bringing in a new UI. Will bear in mind your feedback when we get to the new designs. I think our Ipad version of the site needs some work as this is the most cluttered at the moment. Will keep you posted. Thank you for posting! Will check out your product.

@danlewistech Been using the community and there are issues with caching I believe. I got an email that someone replied -> https://westryve.com/communities... But I can't see the reply when I visit the webpage.

@danlewistech This looks awesome - yesterday I launched Ethical Explorer Pack a toolkit for Product Managers, designers, developers and founders who want to learn how to design socially responsible tech. Stryve seems like a great platform to share it on. Love that you are clear about your company values - we need more tech that prioritizes transparency & privacy!
