Show HN: Hackjob.io – HN job listings done a bit better

Well first of all I looked through the recent thread and saw 0 postings in FL. Little bit of a sidetrack, but it's seriously depressing that 90% of the jobs posted are SF and NY. These companies are seriously limiting their applicant pools.
Outside of helping build a startup, you have literally every other job site at your disposal. Go on any of them. Within the context of building a startup, Sam Altman suggests it is more than 10x easier in SF and SV - however I think it is more like 50x easier. You can talk to 50 people on "startup" terms in FL before you'll find one person who is as qualified and willing to work on a startup, who will actually do it,…

#33A progress bar that takes 20 seconds to load? What year is this?

#34Can you add another filter rule where we can remove jobs from the results that aren't interesting to us? For example, searching for "Remote" and I may stumble onto a post that has "sorry no remote" and I'd like to clear that from the results (so that in the end, I end up only with the jobs that I'd be most interested in applying to).

Per-job 'ignore' flag would be good, too. Could just save to a cookie. Also, per-job 'notes' field, eg. status = applied, sounds like it's run by a control freak, bad weather, etc.

I use HN's Firebase API. This means I need a separate HTTP (XHR) call for every job record. AngJobs has their own database/API. It was my intention to avoid that pattern because I wanted to practice promises in Angular.

#39It is open source btw: https://github.com/dvx/hackjob What is the meaning of 'stateless: > and wanted to build a stateless product using Firebase.
seems like a massive waste of resources... you're making 800 http requests to firebase. If you don't want to use a database at least setup some sort of cron that just updates a giant JSON file so the users don't have to DDOS firebase. Other than that it looks great.
