I love the manually curated categories and how fast it is. Some feedback: 1) It's hard to tell where the job postings are crawled from. Are they recent? Are they comprehensive? Are they fully remote? I can't tell if it's even real data or just some sample postings you put up to demo the UI. Some insight into your crawling methodology would help with trustworthiness. 2) There's no easy way to distinguish the companies…

Thanks for the feedback! 1) I used HN's June and July "Who is Hiring" threads as a starting point and listed more jobs from the companies that posted there. I manually listed only the jobs with a salary range so there's no automatic crawling right now. I setup a couple of scripts/pages to make the process very easy for me though. All jobs listed are fully remote. 2) There are also company pages for the jobs listed (e…

Re: 1) If sustainable for you, having a "human-curated jobs board" would actually be a plus in my book! So much of indeed, monster, etc. are spam, so a smaller but higher quality listing would be awesome!

Congrats! I launched a job board recently too [1] specifically for Anon Friendly jobs (jobs where you can work pseudonymously). We have similar domain names :D One thing you might want to look into is adding Structured Data [2] for job postings. Doing so "makes your job postings eligible to appear in a special user experience in Google Search results". It could help you reach more people. [1] https://anonfriendly.com…

How does one get paid without giving personal information?

Good question. So many of these jobs all you to work pseudonymously but your legal identity is still shared with some members of the organization (like execs/HR/finance) for onboarding purposes. Some just pay out in cryptocurrency to a wallet address.

Job boards need to focus on signals and data that matters.

- remote definition plus remote where? Not everyone is US based. Timezones may be important

- salary currency, benefits, rays, bonus, etc. Salary based on geo or wherever you are?

- tell me about culture without a team ping pong photo

- why is the company worth applying to, what's the growth rate and funding, how long in business

- leadership info and views they share, this often leads to company policies. Have they built successful companies before?

- is this position urgent or just a casual fill when needed
