Hi HN, I built WARN Firehose because I was frustrated trying to track layoff data across the US. The WARN Act requires companies with 100+ employees to file public notices 60 days before mass layoffs — but the data is scattered across 50 state websites with different formats, broken links, and no API. WARN Firehose scrapes every state workforce agency daily and normalizes the data into a single database going back to 1988. It now has 131,000+ notices covering 14 million workers. *What you can do:* - Browse interactive charts and data tables (no account needed):…

Hey HN! I've been individually checking WARN notice pages about layoffs for a little while and I wanted to build a tool that would bring them all to one place, and email me anytime something comes up with a target keyword. I've got a POC built out with a few items but I wanted to see if anyone else would be interested in this kind of thing before I spend some more time on it. Appreciate your feedback!

(* within a few minutes of SEC filing) Currently does it for 1000+ US companies and specifically earnings related filings. By US companies, I mean the ones that are obliged to file SEC filings. This was the result of almost a year long effort and hundreds of prototypes :) It currently auto-publishes for 1000 ish US companies by market cap, relies on 8-K filing as a trigger. e.g. https://www.signalbloom.ai/news/NVDA will take you to NVDA earnings Would be grateful to get some feedback. Especially if you follow a company, check its reports out. Thank you! Some examples:…

Hello everyone, I got laid off last year and during the job hunt, I kept running into ghost jobs, these listings that never lead anywhere. Super frustrating. After some point, I started tracking company behavior across job boards. It snowballed into a little web app where you can actually see how companies are hiring — or pretending to. It's free, early stage, UI is a bit rough, but here’s what some info it shows per company: -Job boards they post on -ATS system they use -Median salary by role -Post frequency + how old the listings are -Skills and degree requirements -Track all existing…
