Saw this over at proggit, I'll cross-post my thoughts here too (edited because you answered some Q's over there):
* There's a delay, which may make someone think it's broken when first testing it (edit: you mentioned it's temporary, for load reasons)
* How's this jive with PDFs?
* Debugging was on and spitting php code (edit: fixed!)
* I love it that you do a registration, but then don't force me to go do the email verification dance. Thank you, sir.
* You should have an option for email notifications when your resume is hit, and also make sure you let them specify an alternative notification email address in case they'd like to drop in their phone's email-to-sms address. (edit: you said you would)
* The map is also a great idea.
* I also like that you've built in the capacity for adding multiple CV's under one user account. I'd definitely tag each CV I'd send out with it's own unique ID, so that I can see if it gets traction.
* Be sure to log hits from the same IP, as I'd want to know if a company (behind a NAT) is bouncing my CV around internally, or someone's coming back to it a few times in a day (edit: you mentioned that it does, with a 2min delay to prevent over-reporting).
* Obviously this has a lot of advertising potential (at least I see a lot of ads targeted at job seekers) but I also think it has some subscription potential. As an individual, I wouldn't pay for it, but I did work for a consultancy firm and I would have paid for a clean "Pro" interface for tracking all of the CVs we threw out to customers/leads. Stupid that we didn't.
This is a cool implementation of something that I (stupidly) never thought about doing myself, and you make it easier/better than rigging it up on my own. Certainly if someone doesn't have their own webserver w/ awstats. It's also very timely for me!
Props, especially if you did it in the time you say you did. And good luck on the job hunt.

Thanks for your comments * there's a 2hr reporting delay right now to help with the load * I believe you can do this with PDF but I may be wrong, I'll test it later tonight. * Yes I've added an Ask HN thread just now. * I hate email validation, it's utterly pointless, hate password validation too! * That's a good idea, i'll get onto that, thanks :) * Thanks, when you have lots of viewings it groups them by area * Yeah i think it'll be interesting to see how far CVs travel between businesses and split testing is a fun idea * It holds unique IPs, but it also records how many times each visitor views each document (with a 2 minute delay to prevent over reporting)
- phpnode 17y agoApparently it is possible to do this with PDFs, see khoury's post on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/9x2es/hi_reddit_my_employer_went_insolvent_yesterday_so/c0evhdv http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/9x2es/hi_reddit...
