Creator here. I've always worked in big enterprises; one thing that always hit me was how easy it was for teams to turn inwards and become silos. People don't bond outside their circles. Then, instead of one big community, what we had were many different little tribes plotting against one another.<p>So I build Pluckd. To help companies strengthen their employee relationships and skills in a way to keep everyone connected and motivated. Since this was the first big project I coded myself, so I used the languages I was familiar with the most. It's a Django monolith with a PostgreSQL database. The design was from the bootstrap template I got at creative-tim.com.<p>I learned a lot while coding it, like using Wagtail as a CMS and how to use Django REST Framework to begin the transition to using APIs. Next, I plan on implementing notifications and email reports, which will allow me to learn stuff like Firebase and Celery, so I'm very excited!<p>I hope this can be valuable to you. And I'm really excited to hear your thoughts!
I love this idea. I’ve found that it’s been hard for me to find a mentor. Especially one I can trust.<p>As a software engineer, it’s hard to even understand different levels when you’re early in your career.<p>I see that you can add your skills and endorsements.<p>Would it make sense for your product to pull this data from LinkedIn?<p>I know I wouldn’t want to replicate this info.<p>Best of luck!
