hnhire.me (available at this moment) would be a better domain hack IMO. Also deceptive title, but nice idea.

I wouldn't say the title is deceptive. Its just an aggregation of the HN hiring posts.

Hey everyone, I'm the creator of hnhiring.me. Surprised to see it pop up now, as I haven't done much with the site in the past couple of years. It's still being updated every month with the latest "Who's Hiring?" post, though, so hopefully people have found it useful. The source is also on GitHub (http://github.com/mwylde/hnhiring).

As an aside, I've been meaning for ages to do analysis of hiring trends based on the data. If anybody is interested in this, I have the past year of posts available in JSON available at http://hnhiring.me/data/comments-{thread-id}.json. The thread ids for fulltime/freelancer for each month are here: http://hnhiring.me/data/threads.json.

Seems like you aren't actively developing, but if anyone ends up forking this, it would be nice to see a version that degrades cleanly without JS.

Hi! I also build job scrapers (http://nolatechjobs.leesome.com) and have a question about the dependency on redis... why not just generate a time-stamp within the ruby scraper (which you already do) and store it within the resultant json itself? Then you can use string comparison to see if the next scrape has returned a more accurate time-stamp and just overwrite that part of the string.

Basically my question is why couldn't you build the whole scraper with just flat files and no database/key-value store at all?

I'll also happily accept pull requests :).
