HNHiring.me: A pleasant interface for the monthly hiring posts (hnhiring.me)

I like the idea, but I disagree that this is a pleasant interface.

There's a lot of repetition -- maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have the jobs separated by Fulltime/Freelancer first and then by month, so you'd only have two tabs at the left with a list of months under that tab.

I also like the Regex search so I can do some complex searches, but I wish there was some basic functions built in -- Like pulling out City/State when applicable.

  ([^,]+),\s*(\w{2})\s*
Matches a City, ST


(+1) that's about as far from 'pleasant' as you can get, IMO


Strongly disagree. It may not be perfect, but it certainly is more pleasant than the native view on HN.


An alternative to this is my site UseTheSource where your Hacker News karma gives you the right to post jobs.

It would be nice if people could also post "looking for work" posts.


Not to be that guy, but a lot of people have been requesting features such as being able to search by city, intern/remote and all that.

My friend & I built http://supzu.cc earlier this month and it has most of these features. Maybe that can scratch some people's itch.

It's missing a lot of stuff that this wonderful version has such as support for freelancers among other things. We posted it when we made it but it never got much attention so there's obviously a reason for that :).


I also built something similar recently http://fit.io

Amazing how an idea can be implemented by a bunch of different folks all at the same time.


Not sure what's going on in the background, but it's impossible to scroll the right column on the iPhone. Very laggy.


It's a webkit bug:

On the iphone, you can use a two-finger drag to scroll.


Hehe, looks like a lot of us have built interfaces for HN threads.

I built one last month for the Freelancing thread: http://hnfreelancer.zacharytong.com/


No-one else has pointed this out yet, apparently, but I just got my mind blown by one little UI decision -- clicking toward either the upper or lower part of the content body, it scrolls to that direction. Wonderful, and very impressive. So obvious, and yet so brilliant.


It doesn't appear to be based on where you click on the page. It's whether you click on a post/listing. Without looking at the code, it probably performs a jquery scrollTo on click of any listing.


Google Reader does the same: when you click on an item it scrolls to it.


I found it slightly annoying that each of my clicks automatically scrolled through the posts. This included any middle-clicks used to open a link in a new tab.


Really useful, any plans on adding RSS/Atom feed? I saw it's implemented in JavaScript and I don't know if there's an easy way to do such thing. Good job.


Might want to add / in the shortcuts to go in the search. Good initiative!


Love it, great interface and very useful. Keep up the good work.


good idea. I think it really needs a built-in filter to exclude all the SEEKING WORK posts though because job hunters (most users) have no desire to see those.


Any plans for an intern tab? That would be pretty useful :)


I often find your site in my referers


Great!
