A comment on Show HN: I made an alternative platform for professional profiles.

The design is really elegant! I could see myself using this if I could make my CV unlisted / un-indexed. I used to have a public resume, but then recruiters found it and relentlessly spammed me with irrelevant recruiting offers, and also spread my resume to more and more recruiting spam networks.

I also wonder if you have a plan for monetization; I didn't see a FAQ about content rights / usage / pricing.

Definitely heard the private account feedback - and recruiter spam is a big reason why I didn't want to include any kind of comments of DMs for a first version. Will be looking into how to better support this.

In terms of monetization I plan on keeping the profile aspect free to use. If the user base gets big enough to warrant it I could see charging businesses to create job listings on a jobs section or something.

Check out https://standardresume.co. It has web resumes/profiles that allow you to set noindex. Disclaimer: I'm one of the founders and it isn't completely free, although it sounds like you might appreciate that :).
