Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ok It looks like this is the biggest issue, I mean guessing locations. This might be hard, I'm using named entity recognition approach, although even with this is not that perfect. Also Is really common to put more than one location, in different formants. I'm planning to add UI widged to flag post as misplaced. Here the first location appears as Australia and isn't followed by any city, also the next entity is not l…

First, nice work - this is the kind of user interface and lookup tool that could serve as an great example. Next, great job of taking the comments constructively. Last, lest anyone think that the next Silicon Valley is on the King River east of Fresno, I think that cluster of 8 is centered in the location "California".

Thanks. Finding locations is not perfect, I'm aware.

I will try to come up with something more accurate before next "Who is hiring?"

Your post job page[0] states whoishiring posts every first day of the month. However the post actually happens every first weekday of the month. [1] [0] http://whoishiring.it/#!/add/ [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring

Noted. I will fix it.

You beat me to it. I was working on this and downloaded all the items using firebase API. Great job. How did you parse the location? I thought that would be the hardest part.

I think you are right. It's pretty hard. I'm using NER approach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named-entity_recognition

There is a room for improvements.

Bug Report #1: 1. Scroll to the bottom of the list on the right. 2. Click to expand the final item in the list. 3. There is no visual cue that you can now scroll down further to see the expansion. The first item in the list that I click on was the final list item, and I thought that nothing had happened (Note: This could just be an issue with OSX's hidden scrollbars. I can't see if you've disabled it on all platforms…

Thanks for the feedback ad 1. Yes, I think you right about the this being a bit confusing. Although I'm not sure if scrolling to bottom, would be ideal as well. Although I will try to test your suggestion. Maybe will feel right. ad. 2. Fixed. This was default for CloudFare (they are awesome) ad. NOTE. No worries, all the feedback here was great and supper useful.

Maybe have it as an accordion.
