We launched our LinkedIn competitor
by DonAfter a year and a half of working on urspace/4 months of private beta - my team and I are proud to announce that we launched!
Urspace is the digital hub for your professional presence. We pull information from websites like Linkedin, Github, and Behance to instantly create you a website, blog, or resume.
Never retype a bio, case study, or job description ever again.
We are launching to our waitlist of a few hundred users and will be focusing our efforts for the next couple weeks on gathering user feedback and then iterating on it. So far, the feedback has been great. I think people recognize that there is a real problem in the space and my team and I are excited to solve it.
If you are interested, please check us out/sign up at https://urspace.io! If you reference IndieHackers on the how you found us section I’ll let you in ASAP(today/tomorrow)!
There are a ton of features we have planned and are super excited to build. Would love to hear any feedback on the platform!

Congrats on the launch!
I'm curious: Is LinkedIn really your competitor? For me, it set an expectation of social networking, while Urspace looks like more of an automated portfolio site builder? And the fact that you integrate with LinkedIn kind of validates that.

Great point. We don't believe that the "next linkedin" will be entirely social. While that has been a major reason why they have succeeded, we have seen linkedin spawn: "professional influencers", low quality of actual professional content, and a toxic community.
The blog is the start of our user generated content initiative, and we hope to carefully introduce more.
so in short: It might not look like LinkedIn right now, but we don't think the replacement will.
