Useful map-based job search
From 3 comments
Thanks a ton for this. Viewing a map makes a lot of sense for job searching, since you don't have the issue of people forgetting to search for city names that are different but…
clay_to_n on HNThis is excellent. I did a quick job search a couple of months ago. After playing with various alternatives I ended up using this as the primary method for sourcing. It a great…
ronilan on HNAs a jobseeker I use this daily, thanks for a great product. The more data sources you can integrate in the future, the better!

Clean design and fast search
From 2 comments
Very cool and timely for me! Search is working super fast. Having some issues with overset text on mobile in the job listings though.
matthewvincent on HNVery nice design and UX. I like it. What would be nice to have is a switch (like remote switch) for part-time jobs. Keep up the good work! And thank you for this service!

clay_to_n on HNBy scanning freshjobs.ch you managed to get many jobs from Switzerland which is rare and rather nice. (Full disclosure: I am well-connected tech-recruiter in Switzerland, Zurich.…

Objections
Slow map and filter updates
From 4 comments
I'm in the US, and was looking around northern Europe, mostly the Scandinavian countries. If I am hovering over them, and type "linux", for example, it takes ~10 seconds before…
CaptSpify on HNI've used this site in the past and liked it, but now it seems much slower. I tend to just use the map to do a wide geographic search, like looking at eastern Washington and…
slm_HN on HNVery cool, but it's so slow it's almost unusable. When I scroll around the map, I guess it's going through all those places I've been as opposed to the last place I stop at?
pfarnsworth on HNLooks cool, but I'm having issues where the list of jobs on the right hand side is slow to update, and there's no visual feedback that it even will update. So I would be in the…

Irrelevant or misparsed jobs such as wrong locations and non-tech roles
From 4 comments
Nice, some data cleaning issues though, see https://whoishiring.io/s/hn13303689 it isn't in South Dakota it is actually in Amsterdam :-).
ChuckMcM on HNThe first city I looked at, the top jobs were 'furniture designer' and 'sales manager'. I think you might need to work on your filtering.
empath75 on HNMight need to work on your filter a bit. "Senior Children's Magazine Designer" doesn't sound very tech to me.
sparrish on HNNicely done! Looking at my local "community", Israel, especially Tel Aviv area, I see 8 jobs, while, there are at least 8K jobs opened right now in the tech industry. You may…

Remote keyword matches unrelated contexts
From 1 comment
Thanks for making the location of "remote" a first class option. I tried it out and it worked well. Not sure of all your sources but I've found though that from certain ones…

Map clustering is cluttered
From 2 comments
Seems like Google maps is doing a poor job at clustering, once you zoom out markers become a cluttered mess.
nnd on HNYeah, something's off there. I think the clustering is not done by GMaps, so maybe OP can do something about it. From what I can see, clusters have a too large radius, so when…

Add AngelList and other job boards
From 3 comments
Great project. Not even looking for a job but I registered just because your feature set is so strong. Is it possible to get AngelList included? Adding them would ~4x the number…
tedmiston on HNIs it possible to add angel.co/jobs too? I think it has lot of startups there.
giis on HNI really like this website and I was quite surprised to discover you're from Kraków :) (dobra robota!) Have you considered showing job offers from nofluffjobs?

Stats page with trends over time

One idea for you stats page - Number of job listings over time, broken down by various attributes (programming language, location, source of post, etc...). There is a lot of talk…

Filter by part-time, timezone, or moonlighting roles
From 3 comments
Very nice design and UX. I like it. What would be nice to have is a switch (like remote switch) for part-time jobs. Keep up the good work! And thank you for this service!
boyanpro on HNIt would also be nice to break down remote by allowed timezones, which many job postings specify.
karlmdavis on HNPersonally I'd like a way to filter for moonlighting openings. I've got a 9-5 but I'm looking for a way to earn extra and burn extra brain cycles productively. Not sure how…

Strict title-only search
From 1 comment
Looks great at first glance. A strict or title only search would be nice, I searched for Scala and the first 5 jobs I checked out didn't list Scala anywhere, not even keywords or…

Is this still a sideproject for you? Or is it profitable enough to work on this full time?
