Could you tell me where you think the benefits are? I was quite critical of it in a recent post but purely because of the fact I (and it seemed others) don’t actually get it and it meant I couldn’t see past the problems the comments ended up focused on.

Obviously as the whole site is noindex it isn’t for SEO, but I am wondering if we all missed a trick? Have you made some connections etc? I would love to hear from someone who is using it properly and how it works for them!

I think it's noindex because it's still invite only. That's just a guess, but I think it would make sense at some point that the pages would be crawled.

I have made some connections on there, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying using it to showcase all the things I do work wise as well as some fun things I've done. I stream a lot, contribute to open source etc. like I mentioned in the post and I just enjoy how that is captured in Polywork.
