Hey HackerNews! I've previously posted about a job search app I built that gathers listings from company websites. Well its now on ProductHunt for anyone to vote on.

There is a 7-day free trial there (promo code: PH1WEEK) if anyone is interested. Otherwise it is a small monthly fee (just FYI)

A few stats w the app: - 230k+ total open roles (mostly tech) - 60k remote jobs - 20-25% of those listings are "unlisted" (not found on other job boards)

Some job counts by dev skills: - 761 Rust - 780 Perl - 886 C++ - 1165 Kotlin - 1222 Golang - 1451 MongoDB - 1487 VueJS - 1533 Redis - 1632 Ruby - 1684 PHP - 2672 Angular - 2723 NodeJS - 3062 .NET - 3784 TypeScript - 7007 React - 7350 JavaScript - 8037 Java - 15130 Python - 17817 Scala

Great project! What steps did you take to address the legal implications of scraping from different websites?
Jabbs · 8 months ago
The data is destroyed and no content from the web pages are reused or repurposed (each listing is merely a link + various tags that are created/associated upon viewing. My understanding is that public websites scraping is legal but repurposing their content might not be

I think you should always be searching for your next role. This will keep you informed about the market and know if the SWE skills are indeed shifting towards AI (this would become part of their job interviews, which I have not seen yet)

Neat service, I signed up to look at CTO jobs. I'm seeing jobs listed that are expired on the company's site - I'd love a button to report jobs that are no longer live.

Ah thank you for the signup and feedback. I'm increasing the services to check for expired jobs now that a lot of companies seem to be expiring there job listings around this time of the year, so apologies for that (I want to show more transparency into how/when those job listings are indeed checked for expiry too)

You can currently 'archive' any job listing by clicking on the 3-dots dropdown menu on the right side of each job listing to remove it from your view (and it will disappear and only be accessible in the "Archived" section of your sidebar). But gotcha there should be a report method, thanks so much!

Cool site - very clean lightweight interface which is great. Have a few friends that are looking that would for sure have checked it out had there been a free trial.

Great site. Small feedback: There's a category 'Closure'-- I'm not sure if that's something I don't know about, but it definitely isn't for jobs using 'Clojure'.

Oh wow that’s not good, thank you so much for pointing that out!

I see C++ and C#. Why no C?
Jabbs · 9 months ago
Yea that one is still a WIP (along with "R", "Rust", maybe a few more) because parsing out some of these tags is a little more difficult than others.
