Job Board for Referral Bonuses (Peer to Peer only, no hiring managers)

Hello, my friend was offered a referral bonus at his company. Essentially, they had an open position, and if he referred someone and that person got hired, my friend would receive a $500 bonus. But he did not know anyone to refer. Many of us know it is hard to get hired right now, and asking for a referral from a current employee can help. Thus, I built this little job board. The front end is Vue inside Astro, then just supabase in the backend. Vue Islands wrapped in Astro is a really fast way to build for several reasons, but I'll save that for another post. The site does not even have a…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hello, my friend was offered a referral bonus at his company. Essentially, they had an open position, and if he referred someone and that person got hired, my friend would receive a $500 bonus. But he did not know anyone to refer. Many of us know it is hard to get hired right now, and asking for a referral from a current employee can help. Thus, I built this little job board. The front end is Vue inside Astro, then just supabase in the backend. Vue Islands wrapped in Astro is a really fast way to build for several reasons, but I'll save that for another post. The site does not even have a search bar yet because I figured it is unneccessary until we have enough posts that scrolling the page is difficult, so why build it before that? I might limit it to only Software Engineers alone so that we never really need to add a search bar, just a filter for preferred/best language and tech stack. It is fundamentally a network and thus only valuable in proportion to the number of users. Do you think this is useful to you? Who might it be useful to? Let me know what you think.

    Side project passed $2.5k/mo revenue after 2 years (Phoenix and Vue)2021 · ▲381

    Several years ago, I had a client whose salespeople were using Excel to generate sales proposals. This was inefficient and the resulting documents looked awful, so I developed a new process for them using a no-code platform. It featured a web form that was tied to a workflow engine, and a fancy PDF got emailed to the customer to sign. When the client loved the solution, I knew I was on to something. However, the no-code platform wasn't very customizable, so I decided to rebuild the process as a SaaS product. The client's CTO wanted in and we became cofounders. Today, we passed the…

    RemoteFriendly – A remote job board inspired by HN2022 · remotefriendly.com · ▲202

    Hi HN, I've designed the site based on what I wanted a couple of years ago when I had been looking for a remote job. It's very early and any feedback is appreciated. I've also used this opportunity to reduce some of that front-end framework fatigue by using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Edit: I'll add location and salary filters as soon as I wake up tomorrow

    Job board aggregator for best paying remote SWE jobs in the U.S.2025 · remoteswe.fyi · ▲195

    I’ve been a remote SWE since the pandemic and truly appreciate its flexibilities and time saved from not commuting. Lately, friends and close ones have been asking me for advice on finding remote roles. I shared my remote company spreadsheet with them, but realized it was a rather manual process to scroll and refresh each company’s career page for new postings. So I put together a centralized job board aggregator that lists the best paying SWE jobs in one place, starting with the U.S. and 14 companies. The way it works is via a cron job that runs daily in the afternoon to pull the latest job…
