only via microsoft store for now because that was the simplest way to sign the binary and also get auto-updates for the end user. I'm looking into a linux version, main blocker there is that I can't find an out of the box solution

Most other job search tools scrape EVERYTHING from the source sites and do the matching on their end which I don't think works great. Especially the scraping part, one can't simply scrape all jobs that exist on linkedin. So I thin

We're both kinda shy and don't usually like putting ourselves out there, but maybe you're right and it could add some personality to the product.

pretty cool, but I think the projects differ a bit in the way they work. Firs 2 Apply only scrapes the list of jobs from the URL that a user saves, so don't have to crawl everything from linkdein. What did you use to built your scraper

Dude, you're kinda rude. You try mentoring a junior FE dev into a full stack dev in 2 months and capable to build an app end-2-end with devops and everything. We do work together on the app so she's learning stuff.

Don't get me wrong, but feel free to not use it if that's a MAJOR issue for you. I don't want to make the source code public because it will be a comercial product. As for my personal info, the username I use here is actually

definitely should not, can you give me more details? Is it specifically asking for camera access? Not sure how Windows works, I'm on macos

That's something I also want to build in the future, but for now focussing on the discovery part which I think is the bigger pain.

I feel line linkedin is also full of fake job listings. At least I’ve seen ones that are there since forever

by sebestindragos 3y ago
never thought about it that way. I'm a shy person so don't usually like putting my name out there. Also, personally, I've never cared who's behind a product, if I like it, I'll use it.

it's displayed in the app, when you try to save a new job search we display the full list of supported sites.

She’s a junior frontend dev, no backend experience. Also building an electron app has it’s own learning curve, then distributing via app store etc. The app’s UI is actually built by her. I’m a backend dev so my UI skills suck.

It wasn't intended to be US-centric, most supported sites are international. We even have support for Naukri which is India only :D This is the full list of supported sites as of now https://imgur.com/a/hrvek3e

That makes sense in theory, but I'm not sure most people would bother reading the source code. Regarding your IP banning concerns, since the app only scrapes the links you save it's just like you would manually refresh them in Ch

by sebestindragos 3y ago
Fair enough and you see open sourcing the code as the only way? Or any other options?
52.
by sebestindragos 3y ago
What's wrong with that?
53.
by sebestindragos 3y ago
not yet, still little to no new jobs for junior FE devs. But at least she doesn't waste time anymore refreshing linkedin and other job boards

This is solid advice, thank you very much

I found my current job on a niche job site called swissdevjobs so I’d say it’s definitely worth looking outside linkedin. There are a ton of other job boards out there, some of them pretty huge like indeed, dice, glassdoor, builtin. I’m ac
