Thanks, Finally this time an invite code worked. For past two months, all invite code I tried were already spent. Now I can get to see how polywork actually works.
there are thousands of early access codes available so it isn't exclusive.
I wasn't trying to imply that it is a scam, I am actually excited to see a new platform which could help expand my professional network, which is important for me as a freelancer. But I will say that there is some deliberate efforts given to generate hype among its user base, whether it was to attract investors or for some other technical reason. For first month, I was getting fomo as many influencers I follow had already signed up, then I slowly started to switch my emotion because I don't want to get over-hyped just to get under-whelmed.
Again, Thanks for a working invite code. My profile is Abhinav1217 if you would like to connect.
Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
13 million !! Wow !! No complain there, They had a plan and they saw it through. Kudos to them.
Onboarding took longer then I imagined. They have tags for a lot of stuff but then It get confusing midway. It feels they are trying to do a lot more on the platform. I could still see a lot of keywords like AI assistant, mentoring, volunteering, etc.
Interface is cool though, Hope they make a dark mode for it. 😂
Also I read your article, I could really feel you on the long list of tags, And yes, Once my onboarding was complete, I am trying to figure out what to do with it.
Like I said, over-hyped to feel under-whelmed. I will need to spend few days with it.

They hype is purely for investment, they just raised $13 million so you can't knock it, it worked!
I just hope that now they have that investment the hype turns into something useful!
Let me know how you get on as although I am negative about it I do want it to work as the concept of an alternative to LinkedIn sounds great!

@lukeshiru said there was a dark mode, I couldn't find it so perhaps they can help?
