About vutuv (short)
Think LinkedIn, but without premium accounts and without a gated community:
every profile is a public web page, and everything the site can do, it does
for everybody. vutuv is open source, federates over ActivityPub and is paid
for by advertising rather than by subscriptions.
About vutuv (medium)
Think LinkedIn, but quieter. vutuv is a professional network for your working
life: a profile, a CV you can tailor and export, and a chronological feed with
no algorithm deciding what you see. There are no premium accounts, because the
site is paid for by advertising: one text ad per day, the same one for
everybody, with no profiling behind it. There is no gated community either: a
profile is a public web page that anyone can read without an account. It
speaks ActivityPub, so a new vutuv profile reaches the whole Fediverse on its
first day: more than 14 million accounts on over 40,000 servers, Mastodon
among them, can follow it without joining vutuv (FediDB, August 2026). The
software is MIT-licensed and anyone can run their own installation, on the
internet or inside a company network.
About vutuv (long)
Think LinkedIn, but without the premium accounts and without the gated
community. vutuv is a professional network for your working life. Members keep
a profile with their work history, skills and qualifications, build a CV from
it that they can tailor per application and export as PDF, Word, LaTeX or JSON
Resume, and read a strictly chronological feed: no algorithm decides what
reaches them, and no tracking follows them off the site. The site is paid for
by advertising, one text ad per day shown to everybody with no profiling
behind it, so no feature is held back for a paying tier. Nothing is walled off
either: a profile is a public web page at a stable address, readable in full
without an account and served as Markdown, plain text, JSON and XML for
machines. vutuv speaks ActivityPub, so a profile can be followed from Mastodon
and every other Fediverse server, and posts travel both ways. That means a
brand-new profile starts with reach rather than with an empty room: more than
14 million accounts on over 40,000 servers can follow it without joining
vutuv, about 1.1 million of them active in the past month (FediDB, August
2026). The software is written in Elixir on the Phoenix framework, is
MIT-licensed and self-hostable, and runs on modest hardware: a company or an
association can put an installation inside its own network without any part of
it phoning home. vutuv.de is the installation operated by Wintermeyer
Consulting.

HTML snippet carries rel="me", which is also how vutuv verifies that the page
is yours.

Colours
- Brand blue #2563EB: Primary. Buttons, links, the icon mark.
- Brand blue, deep #1E40AF: The dark end of the icon mark's gradient.
- Coral #F97362: Accent. Unread counts and the one thing that wants a look.
- Ink #0F172A: Text on light backgrounds.
- Canvas #F1F5F9: The page behind the white cards.
Typography
- Everything: system UI stack. vutuv ships no webfont: it renders in the
reader's own system typeface (San Francisco, Segoe UI, Roboto). Nothing is
loaded from another host.
- Code: monospace system stack. Code blocks and technical values.

Using all this
- Use the logo in reporting about vutuv without asking us first, unmodified and
with clear space around it.
- Do not stretch, recolour or rebuild the logo, and do not put it on a
background it cannot be read against.
- Using the logo does not imply that we endorse what it sits next to.
- If you run your own vutuv installation, give it your own name and brand: the
vutuv wordmark stands for this project, not for every installation of it.
- The screenshots on this page may be reproduced in reporting about vutuv.
