About
BeeSocial is a community platform to create your own place on the internet to highlight your unique skills, projects, and personality. Like a bee collecting pollen from lots of different flowers, we collect links from all over the web and BeeSocial is a place to curate, share, and showcase them.
- Built by developers for developers (but, open for everyone)
- Privacy-focused (no third-party cookies here)
- No intrusive JavaScript tracking (however, we do use Plausible for rudimentary analytics)
- A free tier, but with a sustainable pricing model to make sure we can support BeeSocial going forward
Our Story
Created by longtime friends and collaborators Sangeeta and Adam, BeeSocial was born when Adam was looking at his homepage and realized it was basically just a list of links to other places. 😂 They started building BeeSocial to collect those links in a way that would be especially tailored to techies.
The vision
BeeSocial is a community platform -- not another "social network". It is a place to celebrate learnings without pretension. A place to find others who are passionate about the tech you enjoy to use, and maybe learn about something new.
As developers ourselves, we are always thinking about ways to make BeeSocial more useful, fun, and tailored to how techies share and discover information. Our goal is to keep BeeSocial lightweight, purposeful, and genuinely helpful — never spammy. But, mostly... we are building what we want to see in the world and focusing on creating a community that people want to be a part of.
The Team
We're just a couple of developers who like building fun stuff, but hopefully you find it useful! We are not a souless corporation -- we are just two friends who like working on side projects (especially if we can use Django). We would love to hear any feedback you have, you can contact us at [email protected].
Sangeeta
A developer who brings both technical expertise and a keen eye for user experience to every project. She is especially passionate about continuing her running streak and increasing her ever-growing collection of memes.
Adam
A developer with an annoying knack for asking "why not?". When not coding, you can find him playing pinball, watching a movie, or shouting into the void on social media.
Other Projects
- Django Stickers - 100% human-made stickers for the Django community
