About

A workshop for the evidence behind your work

This page says what the product is, where its name comes from, and who is accountable for it.

What this is

Proof of work, held by the person who did it

obradero is a place to keep the evidence behind your work: what you did, the files and collaborators that back it, and a public page that answers a stranger's questions from that evidence, with citations. You own it — you publish, you share, you delete. Recruiters and their software agents read the same page you do, with your consent and on the record. There are no scores, no rankings, and no automated rejection. A file you uploaded is a source, not a witness.

Two pages explain the mechanics rather than asserting them: how evidence works and how matching works.

The name

Where obradero comes from

An obrador is a workshop — the room where the work that proves itself gets made. The Plaza del Obradoiro in Santiago de Compostela (Praza do Obradoiro in Galician) is named for the stonemasons' workshops that stood there while the cathedral went up: the square is named after the workshop, not the monument. obradero is that word, respelled for a domain.

The product is in English throughout. The name is homage, not a claim to a language or a place.

Who

Richard LaConte

I build obradero. One person, one product, in beta: features change, some things are unfinished, and the pages that make claims about access, safety, and accessibility are written to match what the code does rather than what it will do. When that stops being true, it is a bug worth telling me about.

Write to [email protected] — it reaches me directly. Every change that shipped is dated on the changelog, which is the honest way to see how active this is.
