I run a design agency and I've invested a lot of time and energy into a general design prompt that puts out some decently unique looking sites. We offer this as our "Mini" package at a very affordable price ($99/mo, no s

Yep. Self-reviewing your own PRs is a large boost to both yourself and the team, and often one of the first things I encourage new-ish developers to do. - 90% of the time when you self-review your own PR, you're going to spot a bug or

The new AI search restricts results to a specific location - you can't search for "remote", for example. So "frontend in my network" returns 5 results, whereas the old Classic Search with the "In My Network&quo

Anyone can threaten legal action for anything, so you're not wrong, but JSearch also returns LinkedIn jobs so the traffic is headed right back to them anyway.

We've added some privacy details here: https://jobsbyreferral.com/privacy . You absolutely do not need to upload all of your data. Just a CSV in the format we need (which is now updated on the homepage as well).

Yep, done at https://jobsbyreferral.com/privacy .

Hi! I answered this in a few comments but: The app performs its functions entirely client-side except for the job search to JSearch, which only requires the company name. > What you choose to upload to JobsByReferral.com is entirely up t

Ah, wild! Yes I see it now! That is really quite buried. Edit: seems like this is only the "Classic Search", and presumably may disappear once "AI search" is no longer optional?

Honest question: for what? The data you export from LinkedIn is yours. From their "Download my data" section: > Download my data > Your LinkedIn data belongs to you, and you can download an archive any time or view the rich

Answering your GDPR question: we use cookie-less analytics with https://usefathom.com/ and we do not pass user data to the backend endpoints, which you can verify by viewing the network calls. When you upload the ZIP or CSV

LinkedIn's API is pretty locked down to partners, which you must apply for. There's also no documented API to retrieve connections. The approach we've taken here is that you upload data that you're comfortable uploading.

Yep! I agree to the principle - I also would not trust a random third-party app with my personal details. Though as noted in my other comment, this app is mostly client-side (including the CSV and ZIP extraction), except of course for the J

Those are totally fair points but what I agreed with here was that people will create _personal_ software to solve a particular itch for themselves, which is what I did here for my friends. I just decided to throw it on HN as I have some AP

This is exactly where I think we're heading as well. This project took about 2 hours.

I have some friends who were laid off and are on the job hunt. We were all quite surprised to learn that LinkedIn does not have a "view jobs only at companies where I have connections", so I built https://jobsbyreferral

It doesn't feel like LLM-assisted coding has gotten materially better in the last 6 months, though. The tooling, sure, but I'm still wrestling with the exact same problems I was at the beginning of the year. That doesn't feel

Many non-technical people don't even know what a domain name is, or what they're used for. Most people think "I go to websites by typing it into Google and clicking the link".

I am 100% in agreement here. I operate a couple large Next.js apps and in the last year we've had to deal with Next.js 14 -> 15 which introduced a ton of breaking cache changes, Next.js pages -> app router, React 18 -> 19, Esl

Not at the moment but that's an interesting idea! I didn't want small biz to have to lift a finger to be on the site, so we manually populated 550+ biz to start, and then I paid a photographer to take shots of about 80% of the spo

This is also something I've realized about LLM coding: I have learned wayyyy more about tech I wouldn't normally try just by vibe coding and explaining what I want to exist. In the last few months I've learned Cloudflare work
