There's also http://hnhiring.me which I wrote a couple of years ago. It's a bit more flexible with filtering, but uncurated. Incidentally, HN is up at the top of painful websites to scrape. All comments are at the same level of hierarchy, and the appearance of threading is accomplished by a spacer with a width set according to the nesting depth. There are also no absolute times, and the times that are there slowly lo…

Yep, the same level thing is a pickle. Like you, I'm determining top level comments via the same "s.img" indentation image with. Feels terrible, but it works.

Same with the comment time. Looked into the Sort by Recently Added request, and there's no good way to do it without polling.

Regex Filter added

Bug report: Doing a Ctrl-F to find my technology or location of choice causes the job description to get scrolled down, so the top part isn't visible (and therefore I can't expand the whole description). As an example, do a search for "Python" and you'll see a desc with this sentence in it: "We use Python/Django, JavaScript (jQuery, AngularJS), ActionScript, MySQL (and some MongoDB), but you’d be free to choose your…

Fixed. While fixing, I found another bug where double clicking within 400 ms breaks off the animation and prevents the complete callback from firing, but I'll worry about that another day.

Im visiting MS but live in Boston, would like to look for jobs there; Computer location wouldnt work for me. Would be nice to override that.

In its current implementation, once the JS gets your computer location, I just store the data in window.currentLocation. Until I add the functionality, you can start a location sort, and modify the latitude longitude coords in window.currentLocation to Boston in the console. Then click a filter on and off to trigger a re-sort.

Great solution! One of the reason I love seeing things like this on HN :)

Could you resolve cities/countries to continents? the use-case is quite simple: if you are open to working in all of Europe or all of Northern America, it would be great to search for 'Europe' or 'Northern America' etc.

This isn't possible at the moment on the regular thread :/

Wish I had known about that before, spent so much time entering "site:news.ycombinator.com seeking freelancer" then trying to find the right month and year! Thanks for making that, will be using it in the future. :)

I've been working on another one of those apps. It's a real pain in the ass to get accurate location. Both NER or regex location extraction and geocoding services can be slow and inaccurate in variety of ways. The way that brought me the most success is regex and a tabulated file with city names, coordinates and some other info. In either case, there's manual labor involved in finding false positives and negatives.
