Getting started
How to use Weskills
Weskills helps founders, builders, marketers, and designers find their missing skill. Here's how to go from signing up to launching a project — step by step.
- Step 1
Create your profile
Sign in with Google or email, then complete a short profile. Your profile is how other members decide whether to collaborate with you.
- Add your name, a photo, and a one-line headline (e.g. "Full-stack builder, ex-Stripe").
- List the skills you have and what you're currently looking for.
- Optional: add LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio, or website links.
- Step 2
Post what you're building — or what you're looking for
Create a post to share your idea, project, or the role you want to join. Good posts are specific: what stage you're at, what you already have, and who you need.
- Pick a post type: idea, side project, MVP, launching, or hiring.
- List what you already have (idea, prototype, users, funding).
- List the roles you're looking for (founder, builder, designer, marketer).
- Add media or a link to make your post easier to trust.
- Step 3
Discover the right people
Browse the live feed. Filter by category, post type, what people have, or the role they need — so you only see posts that match you.
- Use the sidebar filters to narrow the feed.
- Upvote posts and comments you find helpful — it surfaces the best signal.
- Follow members whose work you want to keep an eye on.
- Step 4
Send a collaboration offer
Found a post that fits? Send the author a structured offer instead of a cold DM. They can shortlist, accept, or decline — no ambiguity.
- Explain what you bring and why you're a fit.
- Optionally propose bringing your own team room into the collaboration.
- Track your offers from the post page.
- Step 5
Chat and negotiate
Comment publicly under posts, or start a private direct message with any member to move faster.
- Comments and replies are public so others can join the conversation.
- Direct messages are private, one-to-one.
- Notifications keep you posted on comments, offers, and messages.
- Step 6
Move into a private project room
When an offer is accepted, Weskills automatically spins up a private project room for the team.
- Real-time group chat with everyone in the project.
- Shared files, tasks, and a members list.
- Owners can invite more collaborators as the team grows.
- Step 7
Ship and launch together
Use the room to coordinate the build, then post updates back to the feed so the community can follow along and support your launch.
- Post "launching" updates when you ship.
- Recruit more people from the room using "Recruitment posts".
- Keep your profile updated with what you're building next.
