Initial thoughts and feedback

Hello!

Wanted to write down my initial feedback right after joining Connect and trying it all out!

1. [Profile/Edit] When filling out my profile I tried entering a date for work experience and it got the wrong months. So trying to select August, for example, put down July.
   
   
2. [Profile/Edit] I'm prompted to "complete" my profile by adding Education and Certificates, though I have none. There should be a way of saying "none" so it doesn't look like you still need to do something to complete your profile.
   
   
3. [Profile/View] There should be a way to hide Followers/Likes. This makes it into a "social" network, and some people (me included) might prefer not to use it as such, but to keep it more professional.
   
   
4. [Projects] I wanted to add a game I created as a project, but I couldn't find anywhere to put the actual links to the game? It's on itch.io and Google Play - is there a way to link there that I missed?
   
   
5. [Projects] When adding keywords it uses the same tag-completion widget for the profile skills, down to the Add Skill: prompt. There might be some keywords overlap, but it should use its own set of tags.
   
   
6. [Projects] Adding a role for each screenshot feels weird. Feels like there should be a way to just say "I created this game" and streamline the entire process.
   
   
7. [Projects] Screenshots appear HUGE and lose quality.
   
   
8. [Projects] Screenshots should accept webp, as that's the format you get from saving a Google Play screenshot.

Thank you for all your hard work!
