#2Simultaneously a great story and proof of the value of an 'experienced' coder. Looking forward to seeing how far this goes!

#3Congrats! Small note, none of the listings appear when using uBlock Origin [ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa... ], a popular ad blocker.
It seems related to your /js/ads-controller.js file (it gets blocked because of the "/js/ads-" portion in the path).
I would suggest fixing that (and preferably minimizing your JS into one bundle).

Oh man - thank you. I was getting reports of the same, and now I know why. Fixed.

I noticed the same thing and the problem is the js file contains the word 'ads', which seems to be blacklisted in uBlock.

#8It's a lovely story. I bet there are tons of similar ideas that can succeed with a quick MVP and a bit of ingenuity.

#9I'm not even the target market (too young), and this is my favorite job board already. Very fast to navigate around - speed IS a feature! Also love how granular the locations are.
