With http://OpenMakers.io we are planning to highlight minority founders and solo/small teams as much as possible, this checkbox in your profile will be the first step towards that goal.
Here is what a "Maker Card" will look like on OpenMakers.io
There is a similar card for "Products" as well. Clicking on a card will take you to the product or maker details page.
Excited to share our first official screenshot of the #OpenMakers project we are working on. It's just a simple manage profile page, but it's the start of something very large and can't wait to share more updates.
