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. 🙏
This new idea basically feels like another version of a link in bio page, isn't it, I'm wondering how it's going to stand out when it's essentially doing what we already have, there's already too many platforms trying to do the same thing and I'm not sure this one brings anything new to the table, does anyone else feel like we're just seeing the same old ideas repackaged?
Isn't this a bit like reinventing the wheel, kinda like linktree but not quite sure if it brings something new to the table, I mean the idea of having a life portfolio sounds neat but when everything's already on social media what's the point, maybe it's for folks who want more control but do we really need another platform to manage, just some thoughts
I love the concept behind milestones, @utku_sen! It's so true that significant life events can get buried in the daily noise of social media. A dedicated portfolio for important milestones is a game-changer! It not only helps individuals share their journeys more effectively but also allows startups to highlight key achievements without the clutter. Can't wait to see how this evolves in the PH community. This is definitely something worth supporting. Keep up the great work!
A dedicated space for milestones is brilliant. It’s a great way to track important moments without the usual social media clutter.
The idea of focusing on important updates is awesome will you be adding supports for more social media u platforms in the future?
Centralizing milestones is useful. It’s important to see how it handles privacy and data security, though.
Combining significant moments from different platforms is smart are there any plans to let users add custom notes or personal reflections?
I’m curious if Milestones allow linking to external websites or blogs that could add extra value to the profiles
The clean and focused approach is refreshing can users adjust privacy setting for each milestone or their profiles as a whole
Milestones looks great for highlighting major events is there a way to see how many peoples view or interact with your milestones?
Not sure about this, feels like another Linktree clone, what's the real differentiator here, also will it support niche platforms like Mastodon or is it just the usual big names only?
It seems like a perfect solution for keeping track of significant life events. It’s refreshing to see a tool that focuses on meaningful updates rather than just day to day content
The concept behind this tool is fantastic. It’s a great way to maintain a clear timeline of your achievements and updates. The friendly design makes it easy to manage and share key moments
It would be useful if there were options for integrating with calendar apps to automatically import and highlight important dates and events.
Thanks for creating a tool that helps highlight significant life events. It’s great to see a solution that cuts through the clutter of social media to showcase what’s truly important.
