This is my second "Show HN" with some site that I create after an interesting thread from HN. The first one (almost 11 years ago!) was salaryshare.me [0], a super-simple site where people could anonymously compare salaries. It ended up on the top of the front page for a while, got picked by techcrunch and even ended up being on a small feature from evening news.
Let's see if we can have lightning strike twice?
A couple of weeks ago, there was an "ASK HN" about what recommendation of sites to replace the (soon-to-be) killed StackOverflow.Careers. [1] The most voted comment was asking for a "OkCupid for Jobs". This comment sent me into the memory lane from my time working on a job board and how I envisioned adding such a "dating" mechanism to help job seekers and employers.
Anyway, I had to scratch the itch, so I put this together this weekend. If it seems bare-bones, it is intentional. Like the OP poster, I agree that what will make or break such a site will be the content, so my initial focus will be only on adding as many questions as possible, and to find ways to get users to contribute with their own suggestions.
I've started with just 15 questions, and I am planning to add at least this many per day. I also created a subreddit[2] where people can discuss about their favorite questions and also suggest new questions.
