24 alternatives to land that gig by making a great first impression. Feedback appreciated.
http://impressar.io Another 'scratch your own itch' MVP, bear with me. I'm a long-time telecommuter, and my gig-hunting success depends on two critical elements: an email cover letter that is visually appealing, and a corresponding portfolio landing page with content tailored to that specific email. Last year I decided to automate this process, and after months of lost weekends and late nights fine-tuning it for public consumption, I'm launching my MVP, Impressario. Briefly, it solves these pain points: * Collect and keep track of job listings in one place * Maintain a set of email templates…

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.

My (revised) MVP - the concept is to put all job-finding activities in one app: job search/listings, emails/replies, resume/portfolio pages. Automate the searches, have an email editor that sends out themeable HTML emails, know which recipients are interested, and point them to a portfolio site of sorts. Briefly,the main features: * Aggregates jobs via job board APIs based on skills (searches twice a day) * Includes Twitter job search, displays linked content in-app * Email editor/sender (can be scheduled), with HTML templates * Email analytics (track clicks and views) * Preserves email and…

(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…

Hello HN, www.LandingGear.me is designed specifically for building single page landing pages. Our first MVP got a good response with a few hundred people visiting and downloading templates. So we've taken it to the next level of development, added more features and functions and added an option to pay. We're now wanting to get a little more validation and feedback. Would you mind please having a look and posting your feedback here? thanks! Anton Winter

Hey HN, I've just begun my solopreneur journey. I've been a "serial starter" - often starting projects and never seeing them through, and I have finally finished my first project! Maybe this sentiment resonants with some of you, let me know in the comments below I built this tool as a simple no-risk method for turning more visitors into customers by A/B testing your sale promotions and automatically displaying the promotion with the highest conversion rate. Did you know that increasing your conversion rate by just half a percent can have a dramatic impact on your sales without needing…

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a tool I built to help you quickly find potential customers across social media for your product. It's a really simple concept: you simply paste in your landing page URL, and it shows you highly relevant posts across Reddit (Working to integrate few more) from people who likely need your product or service. For example, if you have a minimal to-do list app, it will show you posts like "Anyone know of a minimal to-do list app?" or "Really starting to dislike how complex Notion is." These posts are from the last 48 hours, updated in real-time, and uniquely…

Hi HN. I'm a founder working on a sales tool. I found my own pitch was a major weak point, so I created a 10-point framework to grade it objectively based on best practices (value prop, social proof, etc.). I'm trying to validate if this is a problem other founders face. The scorecard is just a simple page with the checklist. Any feedback on the framework itself would be really appreciated.

Hey HN, I’m a solopreneur and have been in the SaaS space for the past 3 years. My last 3 startups failed, and a common challenge in all of them was figuring out how to reach my audience. Recently I started with cold outreach (its a struggle, since I dont have much experience with marketing). I am finding leads mainly using exa.ai websets (web vector search, extremelly good for multiple use cases, recommend checking them out) and then sending them through smartlead. I ran the campaign for the past 30 days and 12-15% emails always bounced. This wasted my email credits & chances of reaching…

http://www.jobmailr.com/ Most of the valuable hires out there already have jobs and aren't actively looking for another. But would they be interested in getting relevant jobs emailed to them once a week or so, so that they were sure to hear about that dream position opening up? And would companies pay to access their inboxes? Asking myself, I found it valuable. Seeing if others do too is what jobmailr.com is trying to find out. If several hundred people sign up, there's an instant audience that employers can pay to access. If it doesn't gain traction amongst the would-be hires, then I'm just…

RankResume▲14I’m excited to share my second SaaS project, RankResume (https://rankresume.io), following my first launch, IdeaPulse (https://ideapulse.io). As a job seeker, I was frustrated by the constant need to tweak my resume for each application to get past ATS filters and to land the first phone screen. I built RankResume to tackle that problem by letting you upload your resume and provide a job description or URL which it then generates a tailored resume and cover letter that highlights the most relevant skills and keywords for that specific opportunity. I built this out of…

Hey HN! I’ve created (co-created with my co-founder) a tool called demoshake that helps you build interactive demos and use them in your sales process. The idea is simple - you create as many demos as you want, group them and let your sales team use them in their demos calls. You can embed demos in your landing page (iframe style) too. I welcome any criticism and suggestions! Harun
