Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one

LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day — noisy feeds, fake engagement, and everyone shouting into the void.

Thats why I used to built a personal microsite on Squarespace and uploaded a video resume to YouTube to stand out - it helped me land interviews and get into Big Tech.

But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that?

So I built OpenSpot: a public, curated platform where you can showcase who you are — with video, audio, and proof of your work. No endless feeds. No humblebrags. Just real people open to new opportunities.

We’ve already onboarded a few companies, so recruiters can reach out to you directly. But you can also connect with other standout folks and supercharge your network.

Just upload your resume and we´ll automatically generate your profile in under 1 minute.

It’s early, but feels like something people actually need. Would love your thoughts.

Recommendation for non-DOS/Unix open source OS outside x86/X64

I know some interesting non-DOS/UNIX-based open source OS like HelenOS, MenuetOS, or Kolibri. They are X86/X64 only, though.

Are there similar things say for ARM/RISC/etc ?
