Introducing Sinkedin: A Community Platform for Sharing Career Oops Moments

In the world of professional networking, LinkedIn has become the go-to platform for showcasing achievements and career milestones. But what if there was a space dedicated to the less glamorous side of professional life—your mistakes, mishaps, and embarrassing moments? That’s exactly the idea that inspired the creation of Sinkedin.

Recently, I came across a humorous meme proposing the concept of “Sinkedin”—a LinkedIn equivalent designed exclusively for sharing failures. The idea stuck with me, and driven by curiosity and a bit of coding enthusiasm, I decided to bring it to life.

Today, I’m excited to announce that Sinkedin is officially live at sinkedin.app.

What is Sinkedin?

Sinkedin is a dedicated platform where users can openly post their work blunders, career slip-ups, or every day embarrassments. For those who prefer privacy, there is also an option to share anonymously. It’s a space to laugh, learn, and destigmatize the inevitable setbacks we face in our professional journeys.

A Few Notes Before You Dive In

• Interface and Usability: Full disclosure—I am not a professional designer. The user interface is a work in progress, and I appreciate your patience. If you’re someone with an eye for design and find the current look a bit rough, I welcome your suggestions or improvements. The project’s code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/Preet-Sojitra/sinkedin.

• Performance: The platform is hosted on free-tier hosting services, so it might be a bit slow or occasionally quirky. Think of it as a DIY project built with a lot of hope and a little duct tape—thanks for understanding!

I’d love to hear your feedback, report any bugs you encounter, or better yet, see you share your own first failure. Let’s normalize the reality that everyone makes mistakes—so why not share them and maybe even have a bit of fun?
