Peerlist for Developers

What Peerlist gives you as a developer

Peerlist pulls your GitHub, Hashnode and Medium work into one profile, and reviewers name those integrations first. For a developer who already writes and ships in public, that means one page that shows the work without a separate portfolio to maintain. ^{[1] [2]}

The Launchpad is the other draw. It has no fee shown, and a finished project can be launched in the one-week window each Monday. ^{[3] [4]}

What it costs you: time, visibility and an unpriced check

The cost is mostly time. The product has to be complete on your profile before launch week, and your profile must reach 70% before anyone else can see it. ^{[4] [8]}

Identity verification is the one fee Peerlist does not publish. It is a one-time charge, non-refundable once verification starts, so ask for the amount before you upload an ID. A free workplace check covers many developers who have a company email. ^{[6] [7]}

Public defaults matter for developers. Your public GitHub repos and Medium articles show to everyone unless you change the setting, so review what the integration pulls in before you connect it. ^[9]

Your first three months

Start with the integrations you already use. Connect GitHub, Hashnode or Medium, then check the profile as a visitor would see it, since the integration list can change and is best confirmed in profile settings. ^{[2] [9]}

Reach 70% completion next. Until then, others cannot see your profile. ^[8]

Decide on verification in the third month. Use the free workplace check if it applies. Pay the identity fee only after you have it in writing. ^{[7] [6]}

Growing on Peerlist: launch once, with a finished product

A 14-day activity streak unlocks a Super Upvote that counts double on Launchpad. Streaks are tracked in UTC, so plan posting days against that clock rather than your local time. ^[10]

Post your work on Scroll as #show, and write a caption on every link. Link-only posts without a caption are removed automatically. ^[11]

Ask for feedback, not upvotes. Upvote requests are prohibited, and the account can be suspended for them. ^[5]

Protecting yourself

Keep contact details off unless you want them seen. They are visible only when you turn them on, and recruiters receive them only when you apply to a job they posted. ^[9]

Use a personal profile for your own work, not a company. A personal profile used for a company is a suspension reason, so a company's product belongs on a company profile. ^[8]

Finding work beyond Peerlist

Peerlist shows your work, but it is not a route to a contract. For a freelance gig, tell Omnitwine's AI that you want a client, and it suggests members who fit, each with a reason. It is free and takes no cut, and both of you decide whether to connect. It does not hold payment or run contracts, so agree the scope and payment with the client before you start. ^{[13] [14]}

Should you join as a developer?

Yes, if your work is public and you already ship in those places. The integrations and the Launchpad show no fee, and identity verification is optional, so you can skip its unpublished charge. No, if you need contracts or openings this month. Peerlist is a portfolio, not a job board. ^{[1] [12]}
