That seems interesting. I agree with the ideology. I don't like resume culture (do I have to list projects I didn't like or disagreed with?) and I don't use LinkedIn much because it's too wedded the old, broken way of doing things.

I feel like most career-related websites are obsessed with the past, because they're targeted toward risk-averse bean-counters because that was who one needed to impress back when people still commuted to work on the backs of pterodactyls. That's why a LinkedIn profile is a resume and the game (for those who choose to play) is about trolling for endorsements like it's Downton Abbey and one needs a formal Letter of Introduction to get a job.

What approach are you taking to this? I assume the problem is related to "hidden node discovery", i.e. taking queries like "I want to be a data scientist in 3 years" and turning them into action plans. Is this going to rely on human curation (from, e.g. employers) or will it be done with machine learning/"big data" approaches? Or do I misunderstand the problem completely?

Anyway, cool stuff. I look forward to the next version of the home page.
