I definitely think that MakerBase can turn out to be a great founding partner / talent finding platform for SMBs. Well done!
Cesare Rocchi
@juusolyytikka maybe even as a substitute of the CV.

Happy this exists and excited to see what is next. It would be cool to add a link to ProductHunt for each of them, or at least the number of upvotes (I haven't looked at the API, so no idea if that is surfaceable)

@pitdesi Second that, and also AngelList profile data.
Dan Lewis
Super-easy to add a project -- really impressed!
Steven Peterson
I feel weird adding myself to projects for companies I don't work at anymore. Does anyone else feel this way?
Elisa Jo Harkness
I love the concept, but it's not entirely clear right now what constitutes a project - I'd love to see hackathon projects featured. Maybe a GitHub integration?
Taylor Crane
First I'll say I love the concept. But, the product feels pretty unpolished... I encountered a number of bugs trying to use it. I finally gave up when I tried to add myself as a maker and my name or twitter handle wouldn't come up in the pre populated list despite having already registered.

@taykcrane Hey Taylor, thanks for trying Makerbase out. You're right: there's a really confusing aspect of Makerbase that isn't explained well, and that's that there's a difference between a user and a Maker. When you sign in with Twitter, you become a user, but then you have to add yourself as a Maker. We can improve this a whole lot and it's at the top of our list, given the feedback we got on this launch.

Love the concept - 100%. I think the first thing you should do after this validation is to improve the UI and the product will be super amazing! Love it!!!

Amazing how quick the add process it. Love this idea!
Raffaele Gaito
That's a very interesting approach to the "makers universe"!
Rutger Teunissen
Love the idea! This is going to help anyone who wants to contact any maker for tutoring or advice. Really nice, seriously.
