    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.

    (not sure why my previous post didn't appear on Show HN even though I included it in the title, mods please remove if not allowed) Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies just go silent instead of sending rejection emails, leaving you guessing whether to keep waiting or move on. I faced this frustration during my own internship search, especially when there was no real point of contact (automated replies don't count, lol). So, I built didtheyghost.me, a simple open-source tool that crowdsources job application responses. This isn't a job scraper or another job board. It's…

    There are existing HN job aggregators, but I thought we could take it a step further. Inspired by an insightful comment on a previous thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36163021), I built a tool that aggregates job postings and intelligently categorizes them based on user-specific preferences: * Country and remote work preferences * Employer type (e.g., startup, corporation, government) * Industry * Technologies used * Role type (developer, architect, product owner, etc.) * Salary range (where available) One of the superpowers of LLMs is reformatting information from…

    The website is meant for people that look for jobs on HackerNews "Who's Hiring" threads and want to focus more on fresh ads and companies, or to quickly look up ad history of any company. Github repository: https://github.com/nemanjam/hn-new-jobs Demo website: https://hackernews-new-jobs.arm1.nemanjamitic.com I used Algolia API as a data source, along with scheduled task that parses new threads few times at the beginning of each month. The extracted data is then stored in SQLite database for fast querying, and the results are cached with Keyv for faster page…

    I made a tool for myself to act as a filter for recruiter messages. I was tired of getting vague messages and doing the typical messaging back and forth only to hear the salary was too low or the job didn't have remote. The tool lets you create a form with a selection of only the filters you want on there. You give a unique link to recruiters that will take them to the your form They can fill in your form (or not) If their responses pass your filters you'll get an email. If their responses fail your filters, the recruiter gets an email saying so, so they know not to bother you again. The…
