Show HN: My 48 hour project for offering and searching one-time jobs
- jhsu 14y agowas this a railsrumble entry?
- volpav 14y agoNo, this is just something I decided to build on a weekend.
- iambrandonn 14y agoCool. Just need some postings and I would use it.
- volpav 14y agoThanks! Glad you've considered it.
- prezjordan 14y agoLooks like you need to beef up moderation.
- volpav 14y agoThanks, fixing it right now...
- jameswyse 14y ago"An easiest way to find one-time job." I would perhaps re-write this as: "The easiest way to find one-time jobs." or "An easy way to find one-time jobs."
- mangostache2 14y ago"Get hired...Once" (joking)
- volpav 14y agoThanks for your input. I've corrected the language.
- danso 14y agoIt's filled with profanity
- volpav 14y agoThanks, I'm working on it.
- pawelwentpawel 14y agoThat's some pretty creative content you gathered over there. I did however laugh at this one - "Castrate a cat (...) Please respond with references and a link to your github profile." ;)
- flyinglizard 14y agoBrilliant
- pogosian 14y agoBack button doesn't work.
- volpav 14y agoIs it right after you submit a job offer you're trying to go back?
- dudurocha 14y agoDid you posted it over reddit?
- volpav 14y agoNope. Only here and I also shared the link w/ my friends on Facebook and Twitter.
- prophetjohn 14y agoSorry about the incredibly immature response you got to this. I suppose this is how some people really are when they can be completely anonymous. But it also highlights a problem that you should solve. Making someone submit an email and verify with it when posting (a la craigslist) would probably alleviate some of this and give you something to ban. Also, I'm not sure how this persuades people away from craigslist, Task Rabbit, etc.
- volpav 14y agoThanks for your feedback. I'm working on the moderation right now. Regarding Craigslist and others: the idea behind Haltura is that it must be _extremely_ simple and easy to use and still provide some value to its users.
- whichdan 14y agoDespite the loads of spam, the UI does look pretty nice.
- volpav 14y agoThanks a lot although it's mostly Bootstrap (I really wanted to keep the UI minimalistic so people can focus on content).
- stfu 14y agoOP is probably just a Gawker "journalist" and reporting you all for these comments to Anderson Cooper.
- MichaelApproved 14y agoWhat the fuck is this bullshit of "Show HN" and then not hanging around in the comments to answer questions and accept feedback. This project has tons of garbage submitted to it and no one from the project is moderating it or responding to the feedback here. "Show HN" should be reserved for founders/creators and if you're not going to take time to be here for conversation, HN should not give time to your project. You're not even taking the time to moderate the actual website. I flagged this crap and will flag other Show HN posts that are essentially spam.
- volpav 14y agoI decided to respond a bit alter because I'm implementing Facebook sign in (to limit the amount of spam a little bit) and email notifications. No need to be so rude.
- MichaelApproved 14y ago8 hours after you post and this is your first response. Not only that but the site isnt being moderated and you have tons of garbage posted. You're not respecting the HN community by dumping your Show HN post and then disappearing. You're getting the time and attention from hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Don't just dump your Show HN post and disappear. Edit: my use of the word "crap" and crud reaction was in reference to how you dumped your project and left without following up. It's not related to the actual website which I didn't really spend time on since it was full of curses and other nonsense and you were MIA in the comments. Edit 2: you're getting the brunt of my frustration but it's part of a larger problem that I'm noticing with Show HN. Others have posted their Show HN and then have gone MIA, you just happened to do it when I had time to express my frustration. It's good to see that you're monitoring this thread and are still working on the site but please make this thread and the comments here a priority while it's still on the front page. I un-flagged the post. Edit 3: while you build out the system, you could manually delete posts such as "Nigger nigger fucking shitty cunty nigger chink cunt I LOVE MITT ROMNEY AND SPACE DICKS!!!!!" You could also create example posts to show the types of job listings that would represent a typical listing.
- volpav 14y agoThank you all very much for your feedback. I've just updated the website with Facebook Sign In (which is mandatory if you want to post new job offer). This should filter out at least those not having fake Facebook profiles since your name and the URL to your profile are displayed under the job details page. I'm also working on pre-moderation and implementing email notifications (I will update the website within the next couple hours). Again, thank you very much for all your valuable feedback.
- volpav 14y agoJust to follow up (not sure anybody is reading this thread anymore though): I've just rolled out Facebook sign in (only for those who'd like to post new jobs), manual moderation of all offers (say goodbye to "niggers" and "dicks") and email notifications (which might end up in your "Junk" folder so be sure to check it, will fix this a bit later). Thank you all for you feedback and I hope Haltura is now more or less usable ;-)
