👋Hi all, This might benefit those of you who are starting or running your own job boards: having a central reliable source for jobs data/backfill to get your site off the ground and populate it with real jobs that jobseekers are actually looking for. The goal for this project is to make building scrapers or consuming crappy and outdated job feeds from large job sites, only to send visitors back to them, obsolete. Maybe give it a go and save some time when launching your next job board! 🚀

very cool idea. I wonder how you can keep this running if you do not get enough paid members.

@staticmaker1 Good question! The secret is, this thing is already running for over 3yrs internally and powers two of the somewhat most popular job boards in their respective niches (not difficult to find out which ones, lol). So it's more like making (hopefully a lot) use of leftovers (and maybe improving it with more subs on board). No worries at all about keeping it running in the near future :)

@patfoo What is the secret of running a successful job board? Also if you do not mind me asking, why not launch more job boards if they are working?

@staticmaker1 Usually it's having some domain knowledge and ideally already an audience in that domain/industry. In the end there's not really much new under the sun when it comes to job boards tbh...it's 95% marketing game (tech is simple, although not always easy when u get into detail) in the end and you have to appeal to two different kind of customers (jobseekers + recruiters). That's tough! When you're already running two niche boards that's probably all u can get, tried lots more, only two stuck. And if u do that for half a decade doing something else could be fun ;)

@avinash_2369cc80f9 just get everything (when u subscribe u can go crazy, hehe) - just kidding...yeah there's filters like: title={part of or full job title string} location={part of or full location string} type={full time | part time | freelance | contract | intern | temp} and my favourite: has_remote={ true | false } All GET parameters, and can occur all together. Pretty straight-forward. A documentation w/ overview will follow the next days, haven't created it yet- sales first, docs later xD
