Topic: Artistic.Agency (Linkden for creative people)

Hey Everybody

About three, maybe four years ago I had an idea for a website/web application that would function as a sort of Linkden for creative people, who need electronic press kits which can be easily thrown together and maintained by a lay person who has one of more creative offerings to promote but doesn't want to learn wordpress. There's also some other functionality planned down the line, to make it a site that truly offers artistic types agency of their careers, hence, the title artistic agency)

The problem was I did not know a thing about programming at the time.

Since then I've attained a software development degree and built the alpha version of the website, located at http://artisticagency.herokuapp.com/.

It's based on the idea that the account holder, you, are the atomic unit of the site, with press kits for each thing you offer. As most creative people I know do at least a few creative things... https://giphy.com/gifs/season-12-the-si … UczxOxi3ZK

Anyway. At the moment the site is basically just full of placeholder profiles to look over how the interface flows. I'd love for anyone interested to give the site a glance and offer some feedback, or better yet sign up and create a profile and see how that experience flows.

Currently it's a ruby on rails project, but I'm learning Node.js, and thing that might be a better fit.

Any and all feedback appreciated.
