I love how simple it is. In fact, this couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes to make. Not always a bad thing though. Giving users the ability to find jobs where they live might be a good idea right? Maybe. Who knows, maybe you prefer scrolling through 50 pages instead.

Ha. The design took a few hours. Coding the site took a bit longer :)

  The simple and clean design is actually what I like best about the site. I'm sure you've seen www.startuply.com (which is amazingly down right now because of an asp.net web.config error, wow!) That might be a good source of job leads for your crawler. I also really like how you link to the companies website and not to some 3rd party job posting. Have you thought about adding more info to the start-up profile page on your site?

    Startuply has been down since last night :\ I'm pulling a lot of my company data from crunchbase. I plan on adding a full profile in the next few weeks.

  Really? script/generate a few scaffolds, throw in a has_many or two and maybe a belongs_to here or there, code some simple erb layouts and BOOM! If you downvote me, at least reply with a reason.

    You're trying to make it seem like the time he invested in it wasn't worth it or that he was too slow. You can do this in 30 minutes? Really? Prove it to us. You have 30 minutes, replicate this by "script/generate a few scaffolds, throw in a has_many or two and maybe a belongs_to here or there, code some simple erb layouts and BOOM!" then give us a link. Everyone can look at someone else's work and be a critic. And, that's fine. But blatant criticism and ripping apart work that took time for no apparent reason is, at least in my book, terrible.

      I never said that the site was bad. In fact I said its simplicity was a good thing. I was just saying that it is relatively easy to make.

I also love how simple it is, but it might border on being too simple. It doesn't come off as immediately trustworthy (aggregators often don't). Maybe you just need a simple, but original logo?

You're forgetting the fact that he is crawling job pages and extracting the data himself. His plans for using the startup's location as the location for the job, if done somehow automatically, is certainly non-trivial. I highly doubt this took 30 minutes to make. I think you're just being insulting and ignorant.
