First Profile Live

I got the basic profile builder completed over the weekend with some styling options and an iPhone live preview.
Even though I'm not an athlete here's my profile:
https://athletes.io/john
Next up I'm adding ways for athletes to make money through their social media profiles.

I'll build MVP based on feedback comments here

I've had the domain athletes.io for a few years and I think it's time to use it.
Inspired by Brian Casel product Threadly in Remote Ruby I just want to build something quick and simple.
I want to build a simple MVP for athletes over the next week where they can create a custom 1 page profile with links, images or content associated with their needs.
So basically linktr.ee for athletes.

Some questions I'm thinking about:
- What content should athletes be able to place on their Athletes.io/profile ?
- How do I verify they are athletes?
- What features could I add that would help athletes?
- How should it be priced? Free, Monthly Billing, Both?
- What else should I think about?
I'll build it straight away if I like the idea!

Just throw any thoughts at me please 🤩 🙏🏼 😁
