Please remove the unnecessary animation that locked up a tab here for several seconds.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the lag might have been mainly due to the page loading and rendering 400+ job rows at once and is not related to the animation, though there might also be some hydration issues with the animation. Agree that the lag isn't good UX, I will look into getting it fixed soon.

Aside from the lag, I was hoping folks might appreciate the artistic of the animations where companies are resolving around a remote coding home :)

How come scrolling the table lags on my $700 phone?

You can render tens of thousands of rows at once without lag, something is wrong.

This is awesome, thanks. I’m currently employed but this is nice to see what’s out there at a glance. How do you calculate/know the total compensation? Like the base pay matches the info in the Airbnb opportunity but the total compensation is nearly double the base pay range amount, but isn’t quantified in the posting itself.

Things software engineers will never get tired of: - Building job boards - Building static site generators - Building todo list apps - Building "personal knowledge base" type apps

Personally I have checked 3/4 boxes here, and actively working on a job board currently for fun...

At least for a job board, it feels like it is useful, and also ultimately not that complex a piece of software. Which is nice for doing some light coding as opposed to things I usually deal with at work.

Thank you for your kind words! I have this question on the faq page and am attaching the answer below:

4. Where are the salary data sourced from?

Tech companies typically structure salary, often called total compensation, into 3 parts: base salary, equity, and bonus.

Base salary is pulled directly from each job post, thanks to the U.S. Pay Transparency laws (e.g. California SB-1162 in 2011), which require companies to include salary ranges in job listings to help address wage gaps caused by bias or discrimination.

Total compensation is sourced from levels.fyi, a platform that collects leveling and salary info through crowdsourcing.

Unfortunately, current laws in many states, such as Washington RCW 49.58.110 in 2022, only require companies to provide base salary ranges along with a general description of other forms of compensation. This allows companies to omit equity and bonus details. Hopefully, future legislation will help close this gap.

I will do that one day but I want to blog about it as I build them and I never get my blog set up the way I want it.

Static sites are more interesting tbh. Why does everything have to be so meta?

Thanks for sharing that you run into the same issue. Agree that something is wrong, perhaps scrolling causes the table to re-render for some reasons. I will look more into it and getting it fix next. There are techniques to optimize performance such as only render visible rows. I haven't spent much time testing it on mobile web and will enhance the mobile web view & experience upcoming.

You forgot "Building time tracking apps"

I'm seeing even more of this effect lately among young vibe coders. Not saying it's a bad thing, I'm saying:

It's reached the point where it's easier to build your own app than search/decide/choose an existing one.
