Hire-Me GH Issue Template – Flip the Job Search Script

In plain words

Hire-Me GH Issue Template is a GitHub-based tool that reverses the traditional job search process by allowing developers to post a standardized issue template on their profile where companies can submit employment offers. Designed for software developers, it streamlines hiring by highlighting actual GitHub contributions and project history instead of relying on resumes and application forms. The approach prioritizes transparency by keeping all offers visible publicly and eliminates repetitive form-filling in the job application process.

In the maker’s words, at launch

After years of solo ventures, failed startups, contract gigs, and countless OSS contributions, I've decided to shake up my job search. Instead of the usual LinkedIn grin, CV spam & endless forms, I'm leveraging my GitHub cred to flip the script on hiring. I've created a "Hire Me" GitHub issue template where companies…

  GitHiredDec 2025 · githired.tech · ▲360

  Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

  I built didtheyghost.me, open-source tool for your next job search2025 · didtheyghost.me · ▲66

  (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…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

  Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
