> Forg is a social network for people who create and ship on the internet. Discover people, products, and ideas from builders around the world.
## Brand Identity
The platform name is **Forg** (not "frog", "forge", or any crypto token).
Domain: forg.to | X: @joinforg
Forg is a social network centered on tech and startups, and everything that orbits them.
Founded: 2025 by Kislay.
## What is Forg?
Forg is a social network for people who create and ship. It works like any other social platform: you post what's on your mind, follow people and projects you're into, and join the conversation. The center of gravity is tech and startups, but it's open to design, marketing, and anyone in that world, whether you're building something yourself or just here to follow what's happening.
On top of the social feed, Forg lets you show your projects, your work across the web, and your background right on your profile, so a single profile URL (forg.to/@username) gives a full picture of who you are and what you do.
## Features
- **Profile** (forg.to/@username): Your home on Forg. Add a bio, avatar, banner (custom cover image or gradient presets), skills, and an "open to" status.
- **Projects**: Add anything you're building (SaaS, app, extension, open source, API). Each project gets its own page. Launch a project for a 7-day visibility boost.
- **Work integrations**: Pull your activity from GitHub, YouTube, writing platforms (Medium, dev.to, Hashnode, Substack), and competitive programming (LeetCode, Codeforces, CodeChef) onto your profile.
- **Resume**: Add work history, education, and certifications, or let AI fill it in from an uploaded resume PDF.
- **Cross-posting**: Publish a post to X, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky in one click.
- **Scheduling** (Pro): Write posts now and publish them later via a queue, managed in Studio.
- **Articles** (Pro): Long-form writing with the highest indexing priority on Forg.
- **Streaks**: Contribute daily to build a streak and unlock rewards like restores and discounts.
## Markdown Endpoints (AI-Optimized)
Projects and profiles support raw markdown for AI consumption:
- Project: `https://forg.to/projects/{slug}.md`
- Profile: `https://forg.to/@{username}.md`
These return structured YAML frontmatter + semantic markdown, optimized for LLM context windows and AI search engines.
## Who Uses Forg
Anyone in and around tech and startups:
- People building products who want a place to share progress and get feedback
- People who want one profile URL that shows their work across the web
- People following tech and startups who want a feed of people actually making things
- Designers, marketers, and other creators working in the space
## Frequently Asked Questions
**Q: Is Forg a professional network like LinkedIn?**
A: No. Forg is a social network, not a professional/CV network. It's a normal social feed for people in tech and startups, with the option to show your projects and background on your profile.
**Q: Is Forg a "build in public" platform?**
A: No. Posts on Forg are just posts, like any social platform, not a required changelog or build log. You can share as much or as little as you want.
**Q: How is Forg different from X/Twitter?**
A: Forg is focused on tech and startups, so the feed is full of people actually making things and the conversations around them. You can also show your projects, work, and background directly on your profile.
**Q: Will Forg sell my data?**
A: No. Forg makes money from Pro subscriptions, not by selling user data. Your data stays yours and can be exported anytime.
