A year ago I started scraping job posts all over the internet. Now I have a database with 600k+ jobs from tens of thousands of companies.
I've extracted which technologies they're using, based on those job posts. This lets one know things that other sites like BuiltWith can't, because they only analyze the frontend of websites.
It can be useful, for example, to know what companies use technologies that your SaaS integrates to, and then to reach out to those companies.
This is still in a closed beta but I reached out to some companies already and got my first customers. If it sounds like you'd benefit from it, let me know!
I went for Telegram because I saw it working well for similar projects and it lets me reach the people directly, instead of them having to come to a site.
Hey! I run 50+ Telegram channels where remote jobs are posted every day (https://t.me/NoiceJobs)
Some people told me that the jobs posted are too senior for them and they'd like some channels with more junior jobs.
I think getting a remote job as a junior may not be the best in terms of the rate of learning when you can't still figure out things fast on your own. But office jobs are also a no-no given the current COVID state of affairs, so I thought this could help some people.
I save a bunch of interesting links by liking tweets, but after time passes it's almost impossible to find them. So I made a small project to store them on the cloud and make searches on them easily
The tools I used are all free and the post has all the instructions to do it for your own account.
We (https://tinybird.co) are a small startup that makes very easy to build the data infrastructure to do real time analytics on big amounts of data. It provides a layer of abstraction on top of ClickHouse to make ingesting, transforming and creating API endpoints on the data super fast, and after our first year in business we have a bunch of small customers, and several big enterprise ones
During Black Friday we had the biggest load on our systems so far (everything held out!) and we're running a small contest on Twitter to give free accounts to the 3 closest guesses on how many rows were read per hour on BF
We're slowly opening up and we'd love to see our tech applied to new use cases, so feel free to participate or reach out to us to try out the product :D
The only formatting that HN allows I found is https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc. Not much I can do to make it look 'nice' but I guess I can remove the markdown tags
Some months ago I posted about a bot I made that scrapes 1000s of jobs every day and posts them on a bunch of Telegram channels https://t.me/NoiceJobs
Now I've made a blog so that people that don't use Telegram can see them too. The best jobs in 50+ categories every week will get posted on the blog, and people can also subscribe via email
What do you think, what's your least favorite part about it?
Some months ago I shared (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23500588) a bot I made that finds and curates the best remote jobs and posts them on Telegram channels. More than 500 people joined and the comments were generally good
Now I've created a blog and newsletter where I'll be sharing the best jobs found every week the week for 50+ categories.
I'd love to hear your feedback on it to make it better. What's what you like the least about it?
I'm the founder of NoiceJobs.com. We scrape hundreds of jobs every week, post them to Telegram channels where we have more than 3k subscribers and now just launched a blog where we'll be posting the best jobs found every week.
We have 50+ categories: Fullstack, Frontend, Engineering Managers... and many more, even non-technical ones and we'll do a post like this one for each one of those categories
Hope you find it useful, free to ask me anything about the product :D
