Show HN: My afternoon project - a pleasant viewer for the "who is hiring?" posts
- iab 15y agonicely done!
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- bobwaycott 15y agoVery nice job, indeed.
- dejv 15y agoGreat! When I was reading hiring post today I was just thinking that something like this will be very helpful. Just one thing is missing: sorting by city.
- necubi 15y agoYou can search by city by using a regular expression in the filter box (ex: nyc|new york).
- apaprocki 15y agoOr possibly a 3-pane display (if desired).. Pick the Year/month, then the city, then see all the people in that city. Or similarly, Year/month, then the company (sorted), then the post.
- leak 15y agoI was also thinking the same exact thing when I was reading the post today. I guess HN readers think alike!
- jonah 15y agoClean. Small bug: when you click on a username it should go to http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=xxx http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=xxx, not http://news.ycombinator.com/users?id=xxx http://news.ycombinator.com/users?id=xxx
- necubi 15y agoThanks -- fixed.
- mijnpc 15y agoLove it
- sukuriant 15y agoSomebody forgot to support unicode :)
- necubi 15y agoThat was the result of a weird interaction between open-uri and nokogiri. It's working now.
- yesimahuman 15y agoAwesome! Is there possibly a way to filter the freelances by those looking for work and those looking for freelancers?
- dazbradbury 15y agoAwesome, thanks! Unfortunately, am on the stock Android browser, and it won't let me scroll down past the length of the left hand nav menu. Not sure why, but can look at your css when I'm back on my desktop if you like.
- necubi 15y agoWhat android version is that? It seems to work on the ICS browser.
- dazbradbury 15y agoSorry for the delay, I'm running Android 2.3.3.
- canadiancreed 15y agoSomething I wish the actual thread had, that would be great in this is sorting by posted date (aka latest posted, etc...)
- dylanvee 15y agoCould you filter internships too?
- tsunamifury 15y agoAs someone just coming off a long contract and looking for a new job/gig -- thank you... thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot express how wonderful this tool makes me feel in the midst of a difficult job market.
- kirktrue 15y agoGreat work. Would be nice to keep the regex active as I click different months (presently my regex is ignored). Bookmarked. Thanks!
- kirktrue 15y agoAlso a very non-obtrusive way to market your availability ;)
- markerdmann 15y agoDoes anyone know why companies mostly want to hire full-time coders instead of freelancers/consultants/contractors?
- kirktrue 15y agoAs the owner of a consultancy I have to acknowledge that FTEs are often appropriate, for good reasons: FTEs are available in perpetuity (theoretically), contractors can be flighty Manageability of FTEs is assumed, while freelancers often multiplex Overall lower cost IP/knowledge remains in-house with FTEs (talent acquisitions show this is a big deal) Of course, there are some bad reasons too (trust issues, etc.).
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoInteresting, but scrolling in my iPad was unusable, so I didn't really want to dig into it.
- binarymax 15y agoNo its fine, but you need to scroll using two fingers instead of one.
- meta 15y agoLooks good but the scrolling on iPad feels really wrong. So much so that it actually bothered me and I had to stop. Actually a very weird sensation - like nails on a chalk board - it is the first time I have had such a 'physical' response to pictures under glass.
- swapsmagic 15y agoNice, even i thought of having something similar to make it easy to filter relevant job.
- stevenj 15y agoNice site. When I first saw the "ad" for a developer in New York on the bottom right of the site I thought to myself: "Wow, and he's already found a business model." It took me a second to figure out that it was the site's creator's info.
- shad0wfax 15y agoVery useful! Just a very small nitpick (not something you should lose your sleep over at all) - upon navigating to a link and then clicking browser back button doesn't take me back to the location I was at. I would even recommend opening links in a new window.
- koopajah 15y agoWould be nice to see the job openings as a "gmail discussion" where I can read the "title" and just collapse it if i'm not interested instead of mouse wheeling !
- anarchitect 15y agoGreat work - this is really useful. How often does it update? (I just posted in one of the threads)
- dhruvbird 15y agoThis is super! I wanted to do something like this myself - you've executed it brilliantly!! Why don't have a "Feb 2012 - all" and let user's search using the regexp box? That way, I don't have to search both categories for stuff that might span both.
- neelmeg 15y agogreat work, kind of finding it difficult to know who is hiring and who is looking for jobs.
- itsnotvalid 15y agoDoes any backbone/whatever involved?
