What do you do?
Β
It's a question we've all been asked. By our friends, our parents, our aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We all do such wonderful things, personal and professional, within our 9-5 pm and outside of it.
Β
We are problem solvers, coders, no-coders, podcasters, YouTubers, content creators, investors, and more...all at the same time. Yet existing networks fail to empower us to represent who we are. They've suppressed our identities to a single arbitrary label - a job title.
Β
Few people try to create a website to tell their stories. But the real icing on the cake?
Β
No one will ever find your website (or your work).

This is what Polywork is about. All these different aspects together creating your identity - who you are, what you care about, and what you're capable of.
π Advantages of using Polywork:
- A beautiful profile where the timeline is filled with the work you're putting out in the wild and not just your "position" at a company. You can also connect your profile to a domain.
- "Badges" that get displayed on your profile. Whether you identify as a Data Scientist or a Writer or a Visual Designer or all of them, you can do this with badges!
- Update "What you're working on..." and let others know about your current side projects.
- Enabling "Opportunity Preferences". Looking for partnering up with others for your side projects or open to partner? This amazing option will enable you to connect with like-minded people in your area of interest.
- You can also enable it to give feedback on others' resumes, contribute to others' open source projects, guest lecturing, volunteering, philanthropy, and many more...
- Find out who's working on what through their 'Multiverse' feature once you sign-up.
- Use their "space station" feature to invite people to your podcast, guest lectures, partner up on side projects, and find advisors.

π Limitations:
- Currently "What everyone's doing" feature has only limited "tags" to check what others are working on. I wish they had the "badges" which I created so I can find like-minded people faster.
- I wish they had a section where they display how 2 people "partnered up through Polywork" to work on a side project. This will give me enough confidence to reach out to others as well as learn about others' success stories.
