I personally think the hard part of building a SaaS app is not coding, it's understanding the complexities of a problem and building good abstractions to solve it. Code/software is the result, but certainly not the main challenge. And I think this reflects the time breakdown of good software engineers (mostly collaborating, brainstorming and designing interfaces vs. coding).
When recruiting, LinkedIn is useful for three things for me:
1. Propagating the job ad
2. Verifying that an applicant is real (profile picture, network, work history, etc.). I’m seeing more and more fake applications lately.
3. Letting candidates apply with just a LinkedIn URL (when they keep it reasonably up to date)
None of this is really about social networking.
Ideally, I’d much rather have a universal résumé platform with proper ID verification, and separately a job board with reach comparable to LinkedIn.
Until something like that exists, deleting LinkedIn mostly means candidates lose out on discovering jobs and applying quickly to them.
You are optimizing for people (or bots) who use LinkedIn in that case
The only reason I would use it for any kind of similar purpose would be to check network overlap. A profile picture would only signal that it is an old picture or from someone looking for a job (or a bot)
A free site to find sports/games around you (tennis, basket, chess, etc). You propose a game at a certain date/place, and people around can reach out to join. Let me know if you want to try it out (ready in the coming days).

An app to collect memories easily. You capture vocal notes, which are transcribed & corrected with AI.
As a father, I wanted to capture all the little moments of our day-to-day family life to later share with my grown-up children. However, I did not have the discipline to journal regularly. So, I made Memzy to capture them easily on the fly!
In 2019 I made a fairly simple app that sends me an email everyday that I just need to respond to and the text of the reply gets added to a database. I have almost never missed a day since Oct. of 2019.
Some observations:
- it can be pretty hard to remember a mundane and ordinary day just 24 hours later, and after 48 hours it's usually completely gone from memory
- important or unusual events (or parties!) stay in memory a little longer
- and for me at least, food is an excellent memory anchor; if I feel lazy and don't want to add to my journal, just noting what I had for lunch and dinner will help me remembering the rest of the day much better later.
