Show HN: A Network of Knowledge Feeds Hi Everyone, I wanted to talk to this community about a particular story from my experience to see how the community feels. I have noticed that I have a lot of educated friends from top universities in my country who are having problems finding work due to a lack of experience, which has brought me to a conclusion that diplomas and CVs are not really good at conveying the knowledge someone has. A friend of mine who is already working on his own company told me that he had trouble finding people to work for him, so I thought about an idea that I am currently incorporating into my app. Perhaps we could make it much easier for you to show your knowledge to companies, as easy as show and tell. A network of live knowledge feeds that constantly keep updating over time showing how someone has evolved. If you know something, put it on full display for everyone to see, show something you have made and explain how you made something so that everyone can understand. If you are good at something, you probably won’t have a hard time explaining it to others, and other people could perhaps learn something by simply following your feed. Educational Institutions have curriculums that aren’t really adaptable, but if we rely on people expressing their unique knowledge to the world, we can create countless combinations of curriculums that will be much more adaptable for the problems we have to face today. I will be trying this approach with some friends over the coming days. My friends are looking for graphic designers, software engineers and music producers. They have established brands and are going to ask people who want to work with them to submit something they made and explain how they did it for everyone to see. You are welcome to join us at EWS ( https://ift.tt/xW7Gme2 ). If this sounds like a good idea, maybe we can kick off a challenge that you can share with your friends to #ShowWhatYouKnow. If you have a company, are looking for employees, maybe you can ask people to show something they made and explain how they made it to see whether someone has the knowledge required to work for you. https://ift.tt/xW7Gme2 February 25, 2022 at 02:46AM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
