Vutuv.de - an open-source LinkedIn alternative built in Phoenix

There are three potential reasons for members of this forum to have a look at https://vutuv.de

  • You are tired or annoyed of LinkedIn.
  • You are searching for a job or a candidate.
  • You are technically curious and want to have a look at the inner workings of such a project. We use everything Phoenix Framework has to offer and connect to the Fediverse.

vutuv compared to LinkedIn is not closed gated and it is free for everybody. You can read every posting and visit any profile without having to register first. Have a look at my profile at https://vutuv.de/wintermeyer

All the data is hosted on our servers in Germany. Nothing is send to the cloud. No third party cookies.

Please give it a try and please do give me feedback. Here or if you find a bug or want to post a feature request in our GitHub repo. Thanks!

Congrats - looks good! :tada:

I’ve actually never signed up a LinkedIn account so can’t compare, but curious about the name - does it have a meaning?

Years. I started the project nearly 10 years ago. But it paused for multiple years because of cancer and divorce. I survived both but wasn’t in the mood for this project during that personal Odyssey. I picked up the project a couple of months ago again. Now it is better than ever. It really is fun to see people working with it.

Thanks for taking the time to explain your perspective. I understand where you’re coming from, even though I see it differently.

For vutuv, I’ve consciously decided to use the options male, female, and other. It’s a product decision, not a statement about how everyone should build their software.

The nice thing about open source is that nobody has to agree with every design choice. If someone believes a different approach is better, they are very welcome to fork the project and adapt it to their own vision. I’d genuinely be happy to see different ideas explored.

My goal with vutuv is to build the platform according to the product vision I have in mind. I don’t expect everyone to agree with every decision, and that’s perfectly fine.

Thanks again for the discussion.

Update: I changed the gender logic. Thanks for the feedback. I hope the new way combines the best of both worlds. Please have a look for yourself at https://vutuv.de
