Hi! I'm a freelance wine and beauty writer and I discovered Contra back in April 2020. Since waiting for the launch, I've received nothing but warm welcomes from both the founders as well as the Contra community. Looking forward to collaborating and experiencing all that Contra has to offer!
@jaime_brown So happy to read this message Jaime! Brought a smile to my face. Thanks for being an amazing community member!

I love how Contra has built a great and passionate community looking to build the future of how work is done. It's flexible and I feel like I'm in the middle of a super helpful community from which I get inspired and can learn every day. Super eager to see the platform grow!! Good luck Contra Team!

Contra is my new favorite platform! It's typically the best platform for freelancers because they really want to help us to succeed in our journey, plus the community and support inside? It's really a game changer <3 I love it! Totally recommending it with my friends!
I thought I'd check this out and began building my profile but forcing users to invite 5 people before you will approve it is a joke.

Are profiles public? Even to people not registered on the platform?

Not a fan of it forcing me to invite 5 people before I can access it

Love the idea, however can't use my favorite user name "nokola" because "Your username should include at least 8 letters or numbers." Works with linkedin e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/in/nokola/ Could you please fix it?
@nikola_mihaylov Short usernames are unlocked to users who complete their profile. That's a secret feature though. 🤫

@kuizinas Thanks for the info! Sounds good, I am going to complete it either way!

@kuizinas an issue - I want to send my profile link to my slack friends that we made a game with, in order to complete my profile and change my profile link. But I want to send them my correct profile link. Catch 22.
Please let me change my profile link before completing my profile so I can send it and get more people to join. Currently https://contra.com/nikolami want to change to https://contra.com/nokola
