OffRecord

Context

OffRecord is an anonymous platform where people submit structured notes about jobs they've left. The parts nobody says out loud because the internet no longer allows it. Diomarys founded it after realizing how many of the most formative stories she'd heard about work weren't findable anywhere. Career advice had become sanitized to the point of uselessness. She wanted a place where the texture of working life could be written down and searched.

Approach

She built OffRecord end-to-end: product thinking, structured submission design, search and browse UX, the content rules, and the voice. Every copy choice is deliberate. Warm, plain, and on the reader's side. The platform is structured enough to be searchable (industry, tenure, reason for leaving) but permissive enough that the writing still reads like a human.

Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Postgres full-text search, and a light but opinionated editorial eye on everything that ships.

Outcome

A real repository of working-life notes from a community that isn't trying to perform a LinkedIn voice. The project also doubles as proof, to herself and to collaborators, that she can take an instinct from "this should exist" to "here it is, in your hands" without flattening what made the instinct matter.
