24 alternatives to A Job Board for Functional Programmers (Soft-Launch)
I just launched a site/business I've been working on for, well, too long: http://FunctionalJobs.com After observing the recent GitHub Jobs launch I decided to try a soft-launch approach rather than launch the site with zero job listings, or backfill listings myself for free. Any feedback on my idea/execution?
Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. A Job Board for Functional Programmers (Soft-Launch) launched in 2011; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hi HN, I've designed the site based on what I wanted a couple of years ago when I had been looking for a remote job. It's very early and any feedback is appreciated. I've also used this opportunity to reduce some of that front-end framework fatigue by using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Edit: I'll add location and salary filters as soon as I wake up tomorrow

Based on the multiple "Who's hiring remotely?" and similar posts on HN, I thought it might be useful to have a site that aggregates remote programming jobs. There is way too much spam out and an inconsistent way to say "work from home" so traditional searching doesn't work (or rather, takes a long time per person). I've worked in a few remote programming positions so I figured I might know of some companies or searching tricks to find them. Let me know if you'd find this type of thing useful. If we can get some traffic going, then maybe we can start attracting companies to actually list…

Also, yes I am looking for a new role. And yes, I should have been spending my time looking for suitable roles instead of building this.

I noticed the who's hiring threads are very popular every month, so I decided to create a job board specifically for hacker news. You can tag jobs, search, view user's profiles and more. Tell me what you guys thing! Any feedback is appreciated.

I made an open source directory for sharing projects Ever wondered how to show off that something you just built? Look no further! Awesome Launch is meant to be a list of communities and forums you can share your projects to get feedback or your first users. Anyone is free to contribute sites and resources. Hope you enjoy!

Hi all :) Saturday, I launched my first side project. It's basically a job board for PHP devs. https://php-at.work In the moment, everyone can post a job listing for free. I review it and activate it manually. I would love to hear any kind of feedback :) I posted it already on saturday, but probably it should be better in Show HN section.

Hey everyone, I recently built OpenJobHub, a free and open source job board for engineers. My goal is simple: in these tough times, I hope more people can find good jobs, and that job information can be more open and transparent. Feel free to share it with any recruiters, HRs, or friends who are hiring. Let's build a healthier job ecosystem together. GitHub: https://github.com/junminhong/jobs Website: https://jobs.wowkit.net

In my spare time to remind myself that I could actually build stuff (and learn some Python, Flask, Redis, etc) I put together a simple job board to feature the best jobs in the API industry. The jobs can be either building APIs at companies like Twilio, Box, Stripe, etc. or integrating them. In addition to featuring those jobs, I'm also aggregating API jobs from GitHub Jobs, Stack Overflow Careers 2.0, and 37signals Job Board. Today I launched with what I would consider an 'MVP' with jobs from SendGrid, TokBox, Twilio, Zencoder, Parse, Stripe, Pusher and Box. Check it out, I'd love to know…

Hi HN, We’re definitely not the first to realise there’s something seriously wrong with how hiring and job-seeking works today. Zero-cost communication and LLMs have created so much noise that good candidates can’t get heard, and it becomes all too tempting to game the system with keywords and prompt-hacking. In fact we discovered that 70% of early stage AI startups don't post their jobs on LinkedIn. Instead, many founders hire exclusively within their network, which works at the start but doesn’t scale. We thought a lot about this problem, and pivoted through a few ideas including an AI…

I created http://devtest.net as a weekend project, and I'm pretty proud of it from a technical and UI standpoint. The problem is, I've built this by myself in a bit of a vacuum, to "scratch my own itch", and I don't know if this is useful to anyone other than me. I'm also not so hot on the business side and don't really know what I'm doing. Basically, I'm looking for some advice, now that I've actually launched, what now? One thing that this has shown me is that I'm capable of putting together a pretty decent web application on my own in my spare time. Should I stick with this idea, or…

Hi HN, I built smollaunch.com, a lightweight launch platform for developers who want to share projects without the noise, voting games, or marketing theatrics of bigger launch sites. I’ve shipped a lot of small tools and noticed that most launch platforms are built around growth-hacking rather than genuine discovery. Many devs just want a clean place to publish something they built and get feedback from peers who care about the craft. So I made a simpler version of that. What it does: - Post your project with a short description and link - Get a clean, minimal launch page and profile - Other…

Stack: WASM + Rust + Macroquad I saw that a company had posted a cool job ad where you had to apply directly via a REST API. That gave me the idea to gamify my resume as well. Since I was bored, I vibe coded a bit and voilà, the result was ready. I think it's something new and fun that might put a smile on people's faces. (Please don't spam my email address, but feel free to send me an email with your high score if you want!)
