Built this Craigslist Aggregator. What do you guy's think?
I didn't want to submit this as a link, I just wanted your opinion as to if this is useful to you all:

This helped me find numerous jobs on CL. I don't have all of CL in there because it was a lot of work just getting what is currently supported. This is just for the U.S. This is a not-for-profit tool.
- krob 15y agoAnyways, wrote this system using php, jQuery. Thought it was worth a shot showing people.
- davidcollantes 15y agoI like it. It works fine, albeit a bit slow. Are you scrapping in real time, no caching? Have you thought of sharing the code (githubit)?
- krob 15y agohttps://github.com/compubomb/Craigslist-Aggregator https://github.com/compubomb/Craigslist-Aggregator I have a 30 minute cache as once apon a time CL blacklisted my web host.
- davidcollantes 15y agoAwesome, thanks! Will tinker with it. Your site, bookmarked.
- bgill5 15y agoI like the idea of the CL tabs being built into the web page. When I'm looking for an apartment or something I'll tend to have a lot of CL pages open and I'm tired of them squeezing out all my other tabs.

- krob 15y agoYeah.. i used to use that name as my online handle.. I think it's about time I gave it up, so i let it expire. I just haven't had the time to update this code-base. I will probably do something with it sooner than later.
- glimcat 15y agoI like it in principle, but I think the interface could use improvement. I had to click lots of stuff to get it to select only my city. I don't like the "window" tabs much. Maybe it would work better extracting text & attributes then letting you expand the entry in place, or perhaps by flagging items of interest then generating a report. It would also be cool if it allowed more detailed filtering than is already supported by CL. I'm a networker so CL isn't really that useful to me personally, but lots of people rely on it for job searches and improved usability / accessibility could be a significant boon there.
- eugenemann1 15y agoGreat stuff - to make this truly useful I need the subcategories like Gigs:Computer, etc.
- idleworx 15y agoThis is a useful app. Good job. Would like to be able to also search without entering a keyword.
