Important life updates get lost in the crowd of social media platforms. milestones lets you create a portfolio to share what truly matters to you. You can add your own milestones or embed posts from different social media platforms.👋 Hey there. I’m Utku Sen, founder of milestones

My main expertise is in cybersecurity and I’m working full-time in this field. However, I also love to develop useful things.

🤔 The Problem

I created milestones because I often encounter a specific problem. I have a very active life with various hobbies like music. I love developing open-source tools, occasionally give conference talks about cybersecurity, and sometimes move between different countries.

Of course, I share my journey on my social media accounts, and people know about it. However, when I meet someone new, they have no way of knowing my story. I'm tired of questions like, "I didn't know you lived in Berlin for 3 years" or "I didn't know you released a music album." When a new person looks at my social media account, they only see daily posts, and big events get lost among them.

I always wished I had a journal-like portfolio containing only the important events of my life to share with others.

A friend of mine told me that this is a common problem for startups as well. They share a lot of marketing material on their social media accounts. Because of that, he doesn't want to follow them. However, he then misses important events, such as when the startup receives investment from somewhere.

I wish there was a platform that contained only the important things and nothing else...

⛰️The Solution

I created milestones all by myself from scratch to address this problem. Now, people can create portfolios featuring the important events of their lives. They can add their Milestones profile link to their bio. Content creators can embed important posts from other platforms like Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Twitch into their Milestones profile. This way, everything that matters stays on a single page.

People can subscribe to each other to get notified about important events. This way, you won’t miss any important updates without dealing with the mess of social media platforms.

I'd love to hear what you think. 🙏Doesn't this look like what a linktree would do? I think my question is how is this different from having a link in bio page?@illohifeoma Linktree contains links of the other platforms. In milestones, you can write significant life events as you would in a tweet, such as getting married, moving to another city, or getting promoted. It’s basically a life journal. Linktree doesn’t have that feature.Smart idea! My question is, how do milestones add content from other platforms? Is it done manually, by pasting embed codes, or is there an automated method? Thanks!@derek_liu_dev thank you. people can add content manually or they can write it themselves (like tweeting something)I love the idea behind this and hope it helps people celebrate their wins that often go unnoticed. Congratulations on the launch!

Discover exclusive referral codes from your friends and family on RefKid. Unlock discounts, special offers, and earn rewards together.Hello Product Hunt Community! 👋

I like trying new brands and often sign up with the usual 10% off when I visit the website or use the app. But if I’d known someone who can refer me, I could get a bigger discount, they could get a reward too.

Looking at forums or existing link / code websites often ends in frustration because they usually don’t work and are filled with ads. No one checks the code or the link 🫤 They also hide the referral behind buttons surrounded by click bait items.

That's why a small group of us created RefKid to make sharing referrals with friends and family a genuine, rewarding, and safe experience.

It started as a way to share our own referrals across family and discover new brands. Then we got other people adding their referrals and using ours (thank you)! As it grew, we took steps to make it a safe place:

1. Real People, Real Brands: We approve each referral and brand, checking it’s safe, relevant and valuable.
2. Fairness:  Multiple referrals for brands from different users are featured randomly to give everyone a chance.
3. Data Privacy: We never sell your information, serve you ads or hide the referral link behind buttons.
4. Verified Users: Verified users mean actually verified users as genuine by us, not paid for.

We'd love for you to check out RefKid and share your thoughts (and referrals)! Your feedback is incredibly valuable as we continue to build and improve.Congrats on the launch!!!! This makes the referral process so easy !! would love to try it out myself and leave the feedback and queries if i have any !!!Hey nuric,

How do you verify users to ensure they're "real people"?

Do you have any features planned to gamify the referral process and encourage more sharing among friends and family?

Congrats on the launch!@kyrylosilin Thanks for the feedback and great question. At the moment the user verification is a manual process, one of us asks for and checks other online profiles they might have, valid email, and a captcha on a case by case basis. Even then, we check each referral everyone submits to make sure the links work, the brand is valid and has a description etc.

We are thinking of adding badges for users for milestones which might gamify the process. Also, we would love to hear further thoughts / ideas 💭Well done on creating such a great app @nuric! The performance is really impressive—everything runs smoothly without any hiccups. The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, which I appreciate. I’ll definitely be recommending it and would be glad to connect on LinkedIn.
