Show HN: Jerbs – Browse GitHub Jobs on an interactive map
- joshguthrie 11y agoStrange behaviour: Job offers with location "Anywhere" map to my own location. It was quite surprising to discover I was working at GitHub and we were hiring for five positions.
- jessehorne 11y agoVery funny! For now, yes, job offers with location "Anywhere" will be put at your location. I'll think of a way to make this more clear to users if I can!
- guessmyname 11y agoI understand that you are using localStorage to reduce the number of requests to the GitHub Job board [1] (they probably has a rate limit) but for people with cookies/localStorage/sessionStorage disabled by default we just see a blank page. Can you at least wrap the code under the comment "// User" with a try/catch and display an alert explaining the visitors to enable localStorage in order to interact with the website? Otherwise this will be seen as another broken site to me, thanks. [1] https://jobs.github.com/positions.json https://jobs.github.com/positions.json
- jessehorne 11y agoThanks for your feedback! I took out the use of localStorage for now, because it didn't really have any benefit. I also tested using the '--disable-local-storage' option, and it seemed to be working fine. Let me know if it doesn't for you.
