I think one rule around Show HN is that you allow people to see content without signing up, let alone paying for it. So this is a violation of that rule.
Edit: actually search is not behind the paywall (although that's not very obvious)
- Jabbs 2y agoYou can currently search the job listings without having to sign up, which only hides the company and the link the job listings.
- chipgap98 2y agoThat’s definitely violating the spirit of the rule
- ddgflorida 2y agoRight, the data is worth nothing without additional info.
- nbadg 2y agoAlso, there's no way to delete your account, or remove your email. Which is not just frustrating -- it's flatly against GDPR, CCPA, etc etc. I relatively recently was looking for a new job, so I was curious to see how well my own search process compared to this. Then I was mildly annoyed to discover that they require email signup to actually view any details about the company or the job. So I give them my email. And then I was even more disappointed to discover that they require you to pay money to even see the link to a single actual job posting. Sorry, not gonna do that if I'm just trying to scratch the curiosity itch. So then I go to delete my account, and... nothing. No can do. Honestly one of the quickest turnarounds from "oh, neat" to "jeez, what a disappointment" that I've had in recent times.
- Jabbs 2y agoI made a point to collect almost no information (only email) from the user (as opposed to Linkedin which asks for all sorts of data to sell) but happy to delete your account if you just email support. I also dislike having my data used or sold. That is not the purpose here, the feature to delete your account is just not yet there, appologies
- Jabbs 2y agoUPDATE: You can now delete your account (under the 'My Account' tab within the /settings page)
