Introducing Sinkedin: A Platform for Sharing Career Mishaps and Learning from Failures
In the world of professional growth, sharing setbacks can be just as valuable as celebrating successes. Inspired by a humorous meme describing a “LinkedIn for Posting Failures,” I decided to turn that playful idea into reality. Today, I am excited to unveil Sinkedin—a dedicated space where professionals can openly share their work blunders, career embarrassments, and lessons learned from failure.
What Is Sinkedin?
Sinkedin is a straightforward community platform designed specifically for posting and reflecting on professional missteps. Whether it’s a project that didn’t go as planned or a lesson learned the hard way, Sinkedin encourages transparency and shared experience. To foster openness, it also offers anonymous posting options, ensuring users feel comfortable sharing their stories without hesitation.
Please note that Sinkedin is a work-in-progress, and I welcome your thoughts and contributions. The platform is live and accessible at sinkedin.app.
A Few Important Notes
User Interface: While I’ve put effort into creating the site, I’d be the first to admit that the design isn’t my strongest skill. If the appearance doesn’t meet your aesthetic standards, I encourage you to contribute to its improvement. The source code is openly available on GitHub here: https://github.com/Preet-Sojitra/sinkedin.
Performance & Infrastructure: Currently, Sinkedin operates on free-tier hosting services, which means there might be occasional sluggishness or downtimes. Think of it as a low-cost, handmade project—built with hope and a little bit of duct tape. Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.
Join the Conversation
I’m eager to hear your feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for future features. Most importantly, I invite you to share your first failure story on Sinkedin—it’s a great way to connect, learn, and grow together by embracing our professional imperfections.
Let’s normalize failure as a step towards success and create a community where honesty and humility thrive.
