Digest #1 — Who’s Hiring and Community Links
Hey friends, it's been a couple weeks since we launched our new Front Page, Replies, and Following. We have been blown away by the response and support from the community, thank you!
Now that our new community features are in the wild we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to start our newsletter which summarizes the activity from read.cv. You can expect to find a summary of the most interesting links posted to the front page, who's hiring, and maybe some interesting links from around the world wide web.
On The Side
Community links are all hand picked from our members profiles. If you want more links like this check out the read.cv Front Page. Since this is the first issue we'll start from the beginning of the Front Page and work our way up 💥
