Looking for an exit - Career advice platform
Hi guys, I launched Mentory.me a couple of months ago as a side project to help individuals to connect with a mentor that would help them to advance in their career.
Since the launch I've been acquiring more and more responsibilities at my full time job as Talent Manager at a multinational company, plus the fact that my family is about to grow, which has left me with little to no time to work on Mentory.
I truly believe that there are great opportunities for the platform in this or other niches and I'm looking for someone who wants to acquire it to continue working on it, or use it as a foundation to built on for other projects.
More info on this proposal that I created for the IH community: https://jmramos.qwilr.com/Mentory-Proposal-MN0AP8fSRq2P
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Congratulations on family growth and increased responsibilities.
I understand where you're coming from, but it's a weak argument in my opinion.
Since you're not selling user data, but only some code, what are the capabilities?
Since this is not really battle-tested at scale, how many concurrent users can your set-up handle? How are the scaling capabilities? Are you stuck to some weird outdated and vulnerable dependencies? I had no idea that socket.io was still a thing.
Interesting, what would you use instead of socket.io?
Personally, I'd stay away from JavaScript altogether for this kind of thing - unless it's a quick proof of concept, a project for a hackathon, etc.
But even in JS land, WebSockets are well supported in modern browsers. For the Node.js server the ws npm package seems to be a good alternative for socket.io.
