I built Canyon to help job seekers fight back against automated hiring

Hey HN, I created an all-in-one platform to help job seekers build their resume, track job applications, and prepare for interviews. I built this mainly because the current tools for job seekers pale in comparison to the tools recruiters use to field candidates. Would love to know what you think!

I built Canyon to help job seekers fight back against automated hiring launched on April 9, 2024 with 7 votes, #1,479 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

    Created a Job Board for Remote Programming Jobs2010 · workfromhomeprogrammingjobs.com · ▲23

    Based on the multiple "Who's hiring remotely?" and similar posts on HN, I thought it might be useful to have a site that aggregates remote programming jobs. There is way too much spam out and an inconsistent way to say "work from home" so traditional searching doesn't work (or rather, takes a long time per person). I've worked in a few remote programming positions so I figured I might know of some companies or searching tricks to find them. Let me know if you'd find this type of thing useful. If we can get some traffic going, then maybe we can start attracting companies to actually list…

  • I got tired of spending 3hrs daily on job applications,so I automated itJun 2026 · jobspire.co.in · ▲5

    Job hunting while working full-time felt like running two careers at once. By the time I finished work, I barely had the energy to research the right companies, let alone tailor my resume for every role. I wanted a "Career Co-Pilot", something that didn't just list jobs, but actually did the heavy lifting of matching and applying. Most tools were just static databases or basic template editors. I couldn't find a solution that automated the entire workflow from discovery to submission. That’s when I decided to build something — the tool I wish existed when I was job hunting. I'm building this…

    I'm not a programer and I'm building a Saas task-manager2017 · ▲9

    I'm documenting everything about my process. From learning to code, to building the app, and all the way to my outreach efforts.

You can find my updates on: https://Claritask.com ...as well as video updates on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmqmifW4kIcPclXigay1dQ Would love to hear your feedback on my progress and if you have any suggestions on what I can do better.

    Resumecreator.io – I built a simple resume builder2022 · resumecreator.io · ▲7

    Hi HN! I'm a developer who noticed that I haven't done much experimentation lately. I decided I wanted to change that this year. This month I built a simple resume builder with the main goal of practicing front-end development, and to scratch an itch I had when updating my resume. :) After it was functional enough, I casually shared with some friends to express my enjoyment of crafting something just for the sake of having some fun. To my surprise they ended up asking how they could send to others. So I went one step further, due to my pure excitement, and hosted it on Netlify to make…

    I Built a Paul Graham AI Advisor for Founders and Hackers2025 · paulgraham.resurrect.space · ▲21

    Hey, just wanted to share with you guys and app that I built and deployed in a day with Lovable. So, as a founder I always wanted to have an advisor but my budget would always be less, then on the other hand hand I had Paul's essays on Startup Advice, which I never read because I was busy building stuff. Hence, I built this product which comes into a sweet spot of both at the same time being more reasonable and capable than the alternative. ps: it's running on a reasoning model and tbh I've been able to gather pretty good insights from it. Note to PG: If you're seeing this. I'm your big fan.…
