Nice work! Gonna be trying this out today. Quick question — aside from the custom domains aspect, what’s the difference between read.cv and something like LinkedIn?

A lot of people like to think of us as a complete LinkedIn replacement, which is a bit far fetched given our 2 person team. I like to think of LinkedIn as a way to be found and indexed by a massive search engine, and Read.cv as your friendly profile you would want to share with recruiters or as the link in your bio. Custom domains make your profile even more professional to share too!

We also have a great tight knit community of creatives who aren't into the LinkedIn influencer posts — so you might find some chill new people to connect with as well!

i've been an early read.cv user and to me it's just a totally different vibe! many of the folks are in the creative field, and the energy is one of sharing and celebrating each others work, rather than posting quips and hustle porn quotes.
