This is an awesome tool.
I wonder if whoishiring would consider asking future job posters to format jobs specifically -- maybe JSONify the key details -- so it's easier for tools like this map to scrape.

#72hello!
Re: Show HN: “Who is hiring?” Map
#73I'm curious as to how you're placing these. 21 jobs in downtown Seattle, but 2 specifically in Ballard (neighborhood), but I didn't see mention of Ballard in their job posts.

#74The difference between SF Bay Area and Los Angeles is pretty striking with 241 vs 5 listings.

#75Great tool. Location is one of the biggest factors for most devs as they decide where to apply.

#76Bug Report #1:
1. Scroll to the bottom of the list on the right.
2. Click to expand the final item in the list.
3. There is no visual cue that you can now scroll down further to see the expansion. The first item in the list that I click on was the final list item, and I thought that nothing had happened (Note: This could just be an issue with OSX's hidden scrollbars. I can't see if you've disabled it on all platforms, but lots of devs are on OSX).
{edit} I guess I should mention my suggestion. If you're already scrolled to the bottom of the scroll area, and then you take an action that expands the scroll area further down, your position in the scroll area should move to the "new" bottom. There are obviously caveats to this though (e.g. if scrolling to the new bottom would scroll your old position off-screen, this may be disorienting to the user depending on the content and other visual cues). {/edit}
Bug Report #2:
I tried to click the "mail@whoishiring.it" at the bottom (as it's a clickable link), and was taken to a CloudFlare page about how it's hiding the email address for "protection." The issue here is that the link text itself is the email address, so nothing is really hidden (except maybe from poorly written bots crawling the web).
NOTE: This is not meant to be negative or down on your work. It's really great, I just like to take the time for some constructive criticism when there the authors' attention is on the threads (and it's not a e.g. Github project -- that I can see -- so I can't really just open an issue in the bug tracker).

#77Can you allow users to submit location corrections please. You've got a job that's in Canberra smack in the middle of Australia.
Ok It looks like this is the biggest issue, I mean guessing locations. This might be hard, I'm using named entity recognition approach, although even with this is not that perfect. Also Is really common to put more than one location, in different formants. I'm planning to add UI widged to flag post as misplaced. Here the first location appears as Australia and isn't followed by any city, also the next entity is not l…
First, nice work - this is the kind of user interface
and lookup tool that could serve as an great example.
Next, great job of taking the comments constructively.
Last, lest anyone think that the next Silicon Valley is on the King River east of Fresno, I think that cluster of 8 is centered in the location "California".

#78Your post job page[0] states whoishiring posts every first day of the month. However the post actually happens every first weekday of the month. [1]

#79Fusionbox (Denver Colorado) is displayed in a Dutch Themepark. On top of the rollercoaster 'The Python', because their location is 'Python'. http://whoishiring.it/#!/search/Europe/51.6468119/5.05352849... http://rcdb.com/897.htm
But wouldn't that be an awesome work environment?
Re: Show HN: “Who is hiring?” Map
#80This is awesome. Seriously. I never go through the regular "Who is Hiring?" thread because I don't have time to comb through a humongous list of unfiltered text posts, 90% of which aren't relevant to me. There have been other attempts to format the thing, but this is the best I've seen so far. One minor bug: I'm seeing a listing titled "---" that starts with "I am a Junior Front End Developer. I eventually want to go…
Depending on your locality you can use some simple keyword searches to find stuff. E.g. I can search for things like: "CA", "Canada", "Toronto", etc and get most of the relevant results. It might not work as well if you're in the Bay Area / Valley though.
