Looks cool!

One very minor suggestion: Make it much easier to filter / search by location.

Awesome idea. Just wondering since I don't see an about-- how are these jobs found / curated?

Just as an FYI: https://enviro.work/search/?page=2 I clicked on the search with nothing in the search box and then hit the link for page two. You probably want to switch Django debug off and fix the error page. That said, it looks really cool. It's a great minimalist design that gets right to the point. It loads instantly since you haven't loaded it with crap. It's really a pleasure to click around a site that just l…

Thanks for the feedback! Fixed the Django debug issue. Really appreciate your support, it's a work in progress but if we can even help a few people find meaningful work - it will be worth it

Great Idea. Bug Report: if I search for "Software" and then go to page two, the url does not include the search-term, which leads to a "ValueError at /search/" That debug/error page shows a traceback and many server settings, which you might not want to share in a production environment.

Fixed the debug traceback issue. Will work now on passing search params to other pages. Thank you!

Thank you! Would you prefer a dedicated location search bar or radio-button style filters?

While it’s a good idea, what determines if a job “benefits the environment”? A lot of jobs in the list - particularly any startup jobs - are at best unproven in their effect on anything and at worst are a drain on funding resources and have worse negative externalities to the world than being productive in a job that’s not nominally “about” the environment, as well as the risk you’ll invest years of labor under the a…

websites like this can only do their best to collect links to resources, it's beyond scope for them to perform a detailed environmental analysis of each listing. obviously you'll still need to make your own decisions based on what you believe is worth pursuing.

First job I clicked on was no longer available

We do our best to remove expired jobs but if you let us know which one it is, we can address it quickly! Thank you for your support.
