I wrote it in about a day, so there's a lot of jenky code. Just wanted to get it out there and see if it's worth spending more time on.

#3Definitely spend more time on it - cause it's a great idea. It's really just some design nitpicks I have.
Everything's full-screen and stretched so it seems like a ton of information thrown at you. Each posting has a top line, so you might be able to put that in a header bar of some sort, like an orange div that stretches across with an side and down arrow indicating nested or not - and maybe start out with all of them nested, that way users can really pick the ones they want easily instead of scrolling all the way through. A little more padding between jobs would be nice as well.
I like it though! Keep up the good work.

#4I really love hnhiring.com if you could add regex support. and better support for filtering by location (detect variations of SF, san francisco, bay area, are one thing) that'd be awesome.

So, to get location, I looked at each entry and typed in the city name, then ran those locations through the Google Maps geocoding API. To get more specific locations, I would have to get the address of each company, which generally isn't posted. Maybe LinkedIn API to grab the address, based on company name? Haven't played with that one yet.

I tried doing a header bar with company name, but it looked super redundant for the majority of postings: Company Name followed by Company Name. Problem is, the first line sometimes contains other information too, so I couldn't just cut it out. I would have to curate the comment body itself at that point. Maybe next time.
Bumped the padding a little.

#7Bug 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 own tools and libraries."

#8I think this is great. Love the filters. It'd be nice if you could also filter by recently added. I'm currently looking for a job and it's kind of a pain to have to scan through the whole list looking for one or two new jobs that have been posted.

#9Yes. Thank you for a location filter. This is a fantastic use of the geolocation API.

#10There'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 lose resolution. In order to get a comment time that's accurate to the minute, you have to load the page twice an hour and store the post id to time mapping.
