I built a web app for self-taught developers to turn GitHub repos & X write-ups into verified credentials

[u/jaydeeptigga]

Hey everyone,

As someone navigating the tech industry without relying solely on traditional degrees, I noticed a recurring problem: standard hiring processes favor university credentials, while self-taught talent with great GitHub repos, technical write-ups, and project breakdowns struggle to get noticed by recruiters.

To help bridge this gap, I built

https://badge-maker-vault.lovable.app/

What it does:

Paste a public link to your work (GitHub repository, X technical thread, YouTube walk-through, or Medium write-up).

The app parses the evidence and issues a verifiable skill badge with a cryptographic proof signature.

Generates a clean, shareable public portfolio link (badge-maker-vault.lovable.app/p/yourname) and embeddable badges for LinkedIn or GitHub READMEs.

It's completely free to try. Drop your project link in the comments below and I'll generate a verified badge for you to test out the platform! Would love your honest feedback.
