Good old emails and LLMs for automating job tracking

So I spent the last few days building Jobstack. The logic is quite simple. You apply to jobs and you get emails, you trade emails back and forth from interviews, questions and others until the role is either accepted or you are rejected. Also easy to apply to hundreds of roles and not being to know where you stand easily. With Josbtack, you sign up, get a unique email and forward emails to the url. And it uses LLMs to extract company details , tries to find information online about them and presents that to you. Every email you forward becomes part of your timeline with the company. It also…

It also tracks rejection, offers from the emails too and gives you a nice stats dashboard amongst others. Using Gemini 2.5 pro right now. No data stored not in any way. After extraction, it’s discarded. Even “AI chats with the company” aren’t stored https://jobstack.me

    A simple tool to help filter recruiter spam2022 · filteredreduced.dev · ▲30

    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…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

    I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
