Description
Peerlist is like a “social network” for programmers and designers. You have GitHub (for code) and Dribbble (for design work), right? Peerlist is where you can show all of that, plus your work experience and learning insights. This way, people can see what kind of person you are and what you've done. The people here understand your technology better, making communication smoother and easier to find real connections and opportunities. It's more like a vertical, professional community.
What is Peerlist
Honestly, I thought Peerlist was just another LinkedIn wannabe at first. But after using it for a while, this thing is actually different.
It's like LinkedIn made specifically for us tech folks. You know that feeling when you post code screenshots on LinkedIn and get likes from insurance salespeople who have no clue what you're doing? That won't happen on Peerlist—everyone here is either a programmer or designer, speaking the same language.
The coolest part? It pulls together all your scattered work from different platforms. GitHub projects, Dribbble designs, even Product Hunt launches—everything can be showcased on one page. No more pasting links everywhere.
How to use Peerlist
My actual usage experience:
- Fill out the basics first - Avatar, bio, tech stack. This is your first impression, don't slack off
- Connect your work platforms - GitHub is a must, Dribbble and Medium depend on your situation. Once connected, your projects sync automatically
- Organize your project portfolio - Pick a few you're proud of, clearly describe the tech stack and problems solved
- Check out what others are building - People often share cool projects here, you can learn a lot
- Share updates in Scroll - Hit technical roadblocks, completed project milestones—share them for discussion
- Keep an eye on job postings - Job quality here is much better than typical job boards, mostly startups
I recommend spending 10-15 minutes weekly updating to stay active.
