Fixed - Thank you all who gave me good pointers at what to look at.

Thanks, it's because it uses the server time so I will have to translate it to local time on the client. Will fix this soon.

Thanks a lot for these details, it is very helpful. I'll deploy a fix later today to address this problem (cors errors for large images)

Very interesting, thanks for the pointer, much appreciated. I was suspecting it has to do with uploading large images but your comment made it clear where to look at now.

Only one which is deleted everytime I deploy a new version. This one stresses me a lot at the moment so I need to figure out what causes it and then fix it haha.

Thanks and really good question, I deliberately let it a bit vague at the moment. I'm a tech guy obviously, and it seems that most of those who identify themselves as makers are coming from the tech (building digital / tech products). Or it's because they are very influential on the social media.

Anyway, you can see make.rs similar to linkedin but focused on what you made instead of who you worked for. So anyone can list their creations. If the entries are really diverse I will probably add a categorisation system, because I also want to help makers exchange around their interests, to learn & grow their skills.

Hope it makes sense.

Well each one serves a different purpose IMO, even though some parts tend to look similar (the product list/directory for ex).

Product hunt is mainly about sharing cool things you found/discovered/hunted.

Make.rs is about YOU, what you've made, your profile page as a maker (think about LinkedIn but with the things you've done and not the companies you worked for). More features will be coming to help makers discover things, learn and grow their skills.

Thanks for your feedback, I'm working on improving the responsiveness and to add a resize/crop functionality to picture upload. Until then, the best format for a profile pic is a square, this will avoid any distortion.

This is weird, you are the second one who reports this today. I really wonder what's wrong as it works for the rest, and the CORS is configured correctly IMO (but seems it's not?). Sorry :/

Ah ah, didn't even think of that (Rust). I did it with just React & Tailwind CSS. And thanks for the suggestion, I like it :)

I made Make.rs as a place where makers show the world what they've made.

It's a different kind of profile page where it's not about the companies you worked for but what you've done.

It's also a place where you discover other makers like you. Get feedback or let others know what you think about their work.

It's where you get inspired and motivated.

It's where you learn and grow.

Thanks for checking and I'd love to hear your feedback!

Similar idea with gofuckingdoit.com. I like the execution, curious to see if you can achieve more success.
