That's true, a Stackoverflow profile would be probably more suitable, or whichever link gives more information about the developer.
There is an alert after submitting the form, and a redirect to the frontpage. It's set to disappear quite quickly. I will improve on that, thanks for pointing it out!

Why do you feel it has to be to a specific site?
Personally I do not participate in either of those sites. The only thing a Stack Overflow profile shows is how skilled someone is at quick draw Googling answers to very simple programming questions.

I got excited thinking this was a way to either:
A) Recruit other developers onto your side project or B) Hire other developers to help with your side project.
I'd be interested in finding side projects to contribute to, or finding people that would like to contribute to mine. Are there sites out there for either of these purposes? If not, sounds like a good side project...

Not sure if this is exactly related - http://sideprojectors.com
Whatcha working on?
A bit of a nitpick, but I've noticed the trend of several sites to only allow SSO with one, maybe two, 3rd parties. More egregious, no ability to sign up directly.
Are other languages missing something like node's Passport to allow easy integration to multiple SSO providers or is single-single service sign on an active choice that is growing in popularity?

Thanks, yes I have that article on the site.
The "Show what you have made" button seems broken for me.
Thanks for pointing that out, I will look in to it.
Thanks to everybody who already submitted their side projects, I quickly checked some of them, and they look amazing. I will go through them soon to publish them on the frontpage.

We changed the title from "40% of Women Leave Tech; Could Remote Work Be a Solution?" because it was baity and the page's own language is more informative.
Thanks Dang! True.
I first had a slogan on the website that "for Women who build things for the Web". However, personally I dislike sites that are so obviously directed for women, e.g. "Learning to code for women." That's why I tried to make the site more gender neutral, however the underlying idea is to attract (men and) women to create side projects and ultimately for them to get more remote work opportunities. All side projects don't become startups, but they can be useful in other ways.

That's hilarious. When you want views, just reference the "gender problem" in tech. Genius.
The idea behind this was that since 40% of women leave engineering in the middle of their careers (1), the site encourages women to get remote work in tech by showcasing their side projects. The goal is to decrease the amount of women leaving tech. Also, on a related note, we need women to stay in engineering in order to launch the next generation of startups (2).

The creator and submitter is female. This could well be a problem she's familiar with and trying to solve rather than exploit.
so I'm not sure how this works. Is your side project a metric for your ability as a developer?
As I understood the point is that people who only want to work remotely and/or part-time can show with their side projects their motivation and ability to do so.

Also, if you post something, it's a bit of a black hole. The entry is held for moderator approval and when you go back to the "show what you made form" it's as if nothing ever happened.
