@Lil_w3sker Built a content platform prior. Moderating spam was easily the most challenging part, and ultimately crushed the platform in the end.

Big news for designers.
A few of the biggest platforms in the design space reached out about this concept.
The possibility of something like this being built is now highly likely.
Here's my vision:
Twitter is, and always will be, a phenomenal place for designers to connect, share work, and most importantly, get hired.
But it could be so much better still if it were to be personalized for the design community.
Here's the core parts as I see it:
1. Feed
Think Twitter. Nothing revolutionary here. But the array of content is what makes all the difference.
Share memes. Post work in progress. Ask for feedback. Talk about your love (or hate) for auto-layout.
It's up to you.
No confusing algorithms. Sort content by who you're following, or what's popular, or what's new (the latter to help bring visibility to lesser-known creators).
2. Inspiration
Want to get rid of all the noise of the feed and just consume beautiful design work all day?
You can do that too. Filter by landing pages, branding, mobile apps, logos...you name it.
Posts published in the main feed are uniquely tagged to appear here.
3. Hire designers
Easily find and hire designers based on skills, location, and more.
Looking for someone good at Webflow? Easy.
Need an amazing motion designer? You can find that too.
4. Buckets
Come across something dope you want to save for later for inspiration?
Save it to easily reference later on. Think Pinterest, but natively built inside.
5. Groups/Communities
Learning Blender but need some support? Join the 3D group.
Building a productized design agency? There's a group for that too.
Groups could exist for virtually any category, connecting like-minded people together easier than ever before.
6. Portfolio
Combine your work, and posts, into one beautiful portfolio page.
Showcase your skills, availability, and more to increase your chances of being hired.
7. Featured Creators
Each week we'd feature new diverse set of designers for you to discover and follow.
8. And so much more.
The list above doesn't even include the best features. I'll save those for another day. 👀
Would love to hear your thoughts.

WALDO beta v2.5 preview video!! 🚀🚀🚀
Switched the base network to Yolo v7 instead of v7-e6e for a 4x speedup in training and inference, while gaining 10% in recall over most classes (except smoke)... what do you think?
I will probably still train a larger network but it won't be in the beta release for now.
As usual sign up for the beta at aircortex.com, or email me for the update if you're already in the beta!

@vladquant @vladquant Brutal - and this is happening to everyone.
Let us know if you need help preventing bots & ensuring each user only has 1 account with you all. Will save you hours and $$ vs. building something that doesn't work in house
