  I made Make.rs as a place where makers show the world what they've made.

  It's a different kind of profile page where it's not about the companies you worked for but what you've done.

  It's also a place where you discover other makers like you. Get feedback or let others know what you think about their work.

  It's where you get inspired and motivated.

  It's where you learn and grow.

  Thanks for checking and I'd love to hear your feedback!

  I'm getting CORS issues when I try to submit a project (Chrome, Safari).

  Scrolling through the list... I love the personality to this page with the visual design; don't see that too often these days.

  Tempted to make a page (I suppose my hand-coded html homepage at https://www.kradeelav.com would fit, as well as various zine and illustration projects).

  My only big question is a lack of understanding 'which makers' are acceptable here. Those who play with code? those who play with paper? those who play with a combination of both and with the infinity other mediums that exist?

  Congrats to your project.

  On parts of the site you should check the responsiveness. For example I was able to scroll far to the right on the project lists (android & chrome).

  When I uploaded my profile picture it was very distorted.

  Overall I like it and think it is a good idea!

  I posted from HK just now. But seems the timestamp of comments is incorrect, it shows "8 hours ago"

  Is this in Rust, or specific to Rust? That was my first impression because the .rs extension is in vogue within the Rust community.

  It looks like an interesting page. As a site for makers, it would be nice if it had one of those peel back corner links that you can click and find out what the site was using (production stack, languages, tools, etc.).

  My concern would be differentiating from code hubs like Github and Gitlab, but I suspect you have a plan for that.

  How is this different from product hunt?
