## What is Forg?

Forg is a builder identity network for developers, founders, designers, and AI engineers. It gives tech professionals a single profile URL (Forg/@username) that aggregates activity from GitHub, LeetCode, dev.to, Medium, Hashnode, Substack, YouTube, and Dribbble into one verified proof-of-work page. Forg includes a Creator Studio for cross-posting updates to X, LinkedIn, and Bluesky simultaneously, a Launchpad for weekly product launches, and a Project Tracker with a timestamped status lifecycle from idea to acquired. GitHub integration auto-generates AI-drafted posts from merged pull requests. Unlike social media feeds that disappear, Forg creates a permanent, searchable record of everything you build.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Is Forg just another Product Hunt clone?**
A: No. Product Hunt is for one-time launches. Forg is for the months of building before that launch, a build log, community, and accountability platform combined.

**Q: How is Forg different from Twitter/X threads?**
A: Twitter threads disappear from feeds after 2 hours. Forg creates a permanent, searchable record of your building journey with actual tech professionals reading and engaging, not engagement farmers.

**Q: What does it mean to document your work on Forg?**
A: It means sharing your progress openly like milestones, failures, revenue numbers, user counts, etc as you build it. It builds your professional identity, audience, and trust with early adopters.

**Q: Will Forg sell my data?**
A: No. Forg makes money from Pro subscriptions, not by selling user data. Data stays yours and can be exported anytime.
