FIRST MESSAGE · X OR LINKEDIN POST · TO YOUR NETWORK
I own and run Reference Relay on Base. It lets a referee sign a job reference once, which you share privately with expiring links and can revoke anytime. Here is what I built, what broke and what I learned: [case study link]. Feedback welcome.
4. Send it to 5 people who hire identity and privacy developers
30 minAsk for feedback, not a job.
FIRST MESSAGE · LINKEDIN OR X DM · TO A HIRING MANAGER OR FOUNDER
Hi [name], I run Reference Relay, live on Base with [X] users. Here is a one page case study: [link]. Would you tell me what you'd want to see from a identity and privacy developer that this does not show yet?
