Real Job CheckJun 2026 · realjobcheck.com · ▲3I built Real Job Check after seeing how many people, including myself, have fallen for a convincing fake job posting. "Recruiters" on WhatsApp, "task" jobs that ask you to deposit money to get paid, offers that want your bank details before there has been an interview. While there are a couple existing solutions out there, none of them actually show their work. Feedback welcome!

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible).
