If you’re a developer who’s ever felt like your actual work is invisible — you’ll understand this immediately.
Your GitHub shows a green commit graph. Recruiters don’t know what to do with it. Your LeetCode streak exists but lives in a silo. Your side project articles are on dev.to. Your project updates are in a Twitter thread nobody can find anymore. Your portfolio site hasn’t been updated since you “launched” it 14 months ago.
This is the problem forg.to is trying to fix.
So what is forg.to?
Forg is a platform for developers and indie hackers. You get a profile at forg.to/@yourname that pulls your work from everywhere — GitHub, LeetCode, Codeforces, dev.to, Medium, YouTube, Dribbble — into a single, living page.
It’s not a portfolio in the traditional “static page with screenshots” sense. It’s a profile that’s alive. If you pushed code this week, it shows. If your LeetCode streak is at 47 days, it shows. If you wrote an article three days ago, it shows.
The three layers that actually matter
Layer 1: The Profile
forg.to/@yourname is the URL you send to anyone. Recruiters, collaborators, potential users of your side project. Everything is aggregated there — your connected platforms, your projects, your articles, your activity.
What’s different from a regular portfolio: your projects have statuses (in development, launched, paused, sold) and timelines. Every update you post gets attached to the project history. So instead of “I built X” sitting frozen on a page, there’s a full, dated record of how X actually came together.
Layer 2: The Creator Studio
If you do any build-in-public content — or want to start — this is the most immediately useful feature.
Become a Medium member
Write one update. Studio queues it for X, LinkedIn, and Bluesky. Done. There’s also a GitHub integration where your pull requests get automatically converted into draft posts, personalized for each platform. You can review before posting or let it auto-publish.
This matters because most developers who want to build in public stop doing it because posting the same thing on four different apps is just tedious. Studio removes that friction.
Layer 3: The Launchpad
Every Monday, builders launch their products on Forg’s Launchpad. It’s a Product Hunt alternative — but intentionally smaller and more focused. The community is 300+ builders right now. That sounds small, but it means feedback is from actual people who build things, not marketing bots chasing upvotes.
Who should actually use this?
Developers building side projects who want to document the process publicly
Indie hackers who want a launch pad with real builder feedback
Anyone who’s been frustrated by the gap between “what LinkedIn shows about me” and “what I actually do”
Developers job hunting who want to send one link that shows everything
What it’s not (yet)
The social layer is early. If you’re looking for a platform to find developer jobs or network in the LinkedIn sense, it’s not that yet. The network is growing but it’s still small.
But here’s the thing: the value isn’t only in the community. The profile tools, the aggregation, and the Creator Studio all work right now regardless of how many other people are on the platform.
