Makes browsing HN hiring posts by location much easier
From 3 comments
This is awesome. Seriously. I never go through the regular "Who is Hiring?" thread because I don't have time to comb through a humongous list of unfiltered text posts, 90% of…
JDiculous on HNThis is great. It's crazy how huge the Who is Hiring thread has become since it began on HN. Browsing it has gone from a quick scan through to a time consuming process, even…
NnamdiJr on HNThanks for doing this! I really enjoy the locations listed in the HN threads, so this is perfect for me!

Remote job filter is useful
From 2 comments
Great job! I specifically enjoy the ability to filter by "Remote". What did you use to build this?
bliti on HNTHANK YOU for being able to search for remote jobs. That is awesome! Now some feedback - browsing the map/zooming in bloats out my back stack. A couple back clicks is ok, but it…

Objections
Location extraction often places jobs in wrong spots
From 4 comments
Can you allow users to submit location corrections please. You've got a job that's in Canberra smack in the middle of Australia.
adaml_623 on HNFusionbox (Denver Colorado) is displayed in a Dutch Themepark. On top of the rollercoaster 'The Python', because their location is 'Python'.…
Saus on HNYou've got a few problems with map placement. A firm in Grand Rapids and another in Traverse City are both listed in the Michigan woods between the two cities.
rmason on HNI didn't look through the listings in that much detail, but I did notice that the one listing in Canada is on the wrong place on the map.

Multiple locations in one post are not handled
From 2 comments
Really awesome tool - I'm not sure how (or if) it handles multiple locations, but the listing for TrueCar gets plotted at "Santa Monica Way, SF" rather than Santa Monica and SF.
blackjack48 on HNThanks. I doesn't, I don't think I know how to handle them right now. The number of possible formats for locations that people use is already huge. Trying to figure how to split…

Map zoom and history handling cause usability problems
From 3 comments
This is pretty cool. I'd advise not changing the URL with every map movement and instead let the user generate a linkable URL upon demand. This created quite the enormous history…

Add a reset zoom function
From 1 comment
I would love it if you can add a "Reset" function which would zoom out the map to default state. After digging in deep enough its a pain to get back to zero state.

Double click to zoom
From 2 comments
Pretty neat! Along with the better location accuracy / being able to modify them that people are suggesting it would be nice to improve the combination circles so that they're…
BinaryIdiot on HNJust let zoom with double click in the map and you'll make it

How is location parsed?
From 2 comments
You beat me to it. I was working on this and downloaded all the items using firebase API. Great job. How did you parse the location? I thought that would be the hardest part.
navan on HNThanks for the feedback so far. It looks like the biggest issue is guessing locations. I have few ideas how to improve it, although fixing it may be hard. Number of possible…
