#32Love the UI. Where are you pulling these jobs from?

#33On mobile the homepages animated "an individual contributor role." text overflows with the button placement. Also when typing in a filter for the location name, the site stutters. This is probably because the JS is trying to filter the whole list on each keypress. You could implement a slight delay before starting a search. I've previously implemented something similar by restarting a timer (clearTimeout + setTimeout…
Lodash.js has a great `_.throttle()` that I use all the time to buffer keypress/state management.
throttle uses debounce, which uses a timer + setTimeout and clearTimeout :)

#34May want to update that giant "copyright 2018" on the front page.
Giant indeed! Will be fixed.

Read from Career pages of all companies, big and small, from Universities as well and soon from government sites.

#38First off, congrats on a successful reception on HN.
Now, the site layout on mobile needs some love.
I would suggest setting up google analytics, and getting some numbers on what percentage of users are hitting this from which device size, and allocate your time accordingly.

Thanks! Agreed, the numbers for mobile are significant. Our focus so far was mostly on data collection and cleanup, hence we stayed on building web only. Will spend resources on mobile soon, once couple more features are released on the web.

#40"FANG" "Unicorn" "Incubators" "Corporate" Ah yes, the four company types. And that's all the company types there are. --- I think that "Famous" "Late" "Mid" "Early" "Seed" would be better categories. You could use Crunchbase or something similar to categorize by what round they are in. That still excludes bootstrapped companies but are much more sane categories in my opinion.
Seems like two different filters are needed: one for size and one for stage. Excluding established/bootstrapped companies is silly unless the purpose of the site is to only list jobs at startups.
We don't plan on excluding any established companies, the filters will be expanded and you will see more categories soon.
