Hacker News "Who is hiring?" frontend
I was scrolling through the monthly Hacker News(HN) job thread when I accidentally refreshed the page and lost my scroll position. Frustrated with having to find which jobs I looked through and which ones I didn't, I looked for existing sites that parse the HN job thread and display the results in a more user-friendly manner. None of the job portals satisfied my requirements so I made my own.
jobs.gessha.dev is a job portal which sources raw text from monthly job threads via Hacker News API and parses them via LLM unstructured text extraction using ChatGPT API+Pydantic into a Postgres SQL database. The results are then served by a Flask backend and a Bootstrap+Handlebars+JavaScript frontend.
The result is a snappy web app where you can load the latest jobs, search through them based on desired criteria, and bookmark them for applying later.
