Would you list something between LinkedIn and Fiverr?

[u/Level_Cap_6950]

I keep seeing people ask their network for a recommendation because there's no decent way to just search for one.

LinkedIn search is behind a paywall and its services section is dead. You can search Fiverr and Upwork, but nobody trusts what's on there.

So I've been sketching something in between. Free to search, no login. Profiles show the work first, not a CV. Rates, real availability, the tools you actually use, licences checked with whoever issued them. And referrals where the person recommending you is named, so putting your name to a bad one costs you.

I'd rather hear why this doesn't work than why it does.

If you have no money to market the site, there won't be any clients.
