CraigTrend - graph job data over the last year

http://www.craigtrend.com/ I've been accumulating Craigslist data for the last ~1.3 years and decided to do something with it. What you see is two days of work over Thanksgiving. Note: I'm using JQuery's $.each() for regex matching the words on the page -- which is expensive and seems to crash chrome+safari (firefox works just fine). If anyone has any insight, or can suggest something quicker let me know.

CraigTrend - graph job data over the last year launched on November 28, 2011 with 9 votes, #76 of 264 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

    Historical HN Hiring Data2023 · hnhiringtrends.com · ▲146

    Hi HN! A few days ago I saw a graph[0] that showed the # of job postings on HN was declining. I started wondering what other trends I could glean from the data, so I created this! You can filter through the top level comments by keyword; for example you can filter by "remote" to see the massive spike around March 2020. Another interesting thing I found is that I can compare hiring across cities. I hope you enjoy! I made it so that the links to your search are sharable so if you have some interesting data you should be able to just link the page you're on! [0]…

    I made a stupid simple but 100% free web analytics2024 · indielytics.link · ▲29

    TLDR: I made a public only web analytics without signup. Stores views and visitors for 10 days before deleting data. Exactly 25 days ago today I posted here, proud of my new web analytics. The response was mixed and my post even got flagged (understandable). It was my first real launch and I actually made a sale just a day later of 49$(!). Back then my project was pay once, keep forever. Since then I have sadly went over to the dark side (subscription based). Anyways, I never went back to look at the post after the first two hours, turns out I got a lot of answers. Most answers was something…

    Hello HN Community! I've transformed the "Ask HN: Who's hiring? (November 2023)" post into a Google Sheet. Here's a quick rundown of the method: I utilized the Hacker News Algolia Search API to extract data. You can find the specific thread URL here: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?tags=comment,st... Using a GET request, I fetched comments from the thread and processed them via the ChatGPT API. Employing the ChatGPT API for each comment, I parsed crucial job details such as company, position, location, and more. This information was structured and…
