Seisin – a desktop app that turns your job search into analytics
Hello everyone, I’ve been building Seisin, a desktop app for keeping an entire job search in one place. I was planning on posting this back at v1.0, but held on to see a bit more of what HN was like before posting here. I kept building in the meantime, so what’s here now is v1.1. It tracks applications, interviews, offers, resumes, contacts and notes, then turns all of that into analytics automatically. Some of what’s in it now: - Analytics (response rate by source, response time, weekly activity & trends, and more) - A resume builder with five templates, import and export as PDF or Word,…

LockedIn2025 · trylockedin.app · ▲192The idea is actually quite simple - as a coder watching my pregnant girlfriend spend hours reading job descriptions and researching companies while job searching over the past few months, I thought there should be an app that reads the job description and researches the company like a human would from a job URL to write personalized cover letters + resume tips to modify your resume. So I made one - it uses advanced browser automation (like Manus), and you can actually watch the AI in real-time as it researches. For anyone interested, you can check it out at --> trylockedin.app and let me…
- HRHN Resume to Jobs – AI Powered Job Matching Tailored to Your Resume2023 · hnresumetojobs.com · ▲214
Hey HN! I'm excited to show off this side project I've been working on. This project matches your resume with the best matching jobs from the monthly HN Who's Hiring post. It works by creating a vector embedding of your resume using OpenAI's embedding API, and then ranking the jobs using a vector similarity score. (You can toggle between max inner product, cosine, and euclidean in the "Advanced Options") I was laid off in August and it took a whole 6 months for me to find my new job. Fortunately, I found my new role on January's HN Who's Hiring post. So I hope this will prove useful to any…

There are existing HN job aggregators, but I thought we could take it a step further. Inspired by an insightful comment on a previous thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36163021), I built a tool that aggregates job postings and intelligently categorizes them based on user-specific preferences: * Country and remote work preferences * Employer type (e.g., startup, corporation, government) * Industry * Technologies used * Role type (developer, architect, product owner, etc.) * Salary range (where available) One of the superpowers of LLMs is reformatting information from…
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…
- WUWe used investor tools to find the best startups to work at2022 · joinmaasive.com · ▲29
hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
