Hi Indie Hackers,
I have started building https://jublime.com, a job application tracker. I created this mainly for myself so that I can organize my job search better, both during active and passive job search.
For now, I have decided to build features that is needed for myself. I'm looking for feedback particularly from active/passive job seekers.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
I like the idea. Last year I had about 45 applications out, 6 upcoming interviews scheduled at various stages (1st round interview through 4th round), and multiple take home code assignments due at different dates. It definitely became overwhelming.
Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated. If you think this app can be improved for you please let me know via feedback. Would be happy to look into them. Right now I'm mostly building features for myself and people like you who are suggesting features.
Cool product! You could push this product to college kids looking for summer work.
As a college student myself, this is a cool tool, I'd consider using in the future.
I'd for sure use it if there were more features for college kids trying to seek internships. Like if you had a database for where companies are doing internships, application deadlines listed, different cities, different majors and internship ideas, etc.
I'm sure what I'm saying is a little out there but just my 2 cents as a college kid. I don't really stuggle to track my applications, but if a product offered me to learn and benefit from more than a job tracking standpoint, I'd use it
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I will try along the pointers you suggested.
"If you are a freelancer, who actively seeks out prospects all the time, this tool might be of use for you." - I find this use case more interesting than targeting job seekers. I have never felt any issues in managing / tracking job applications. (my 2 cents...)
Thanks for the feedback. Makes sense. Meanwhile, I have heard freelancers who wanted to get back to a particular prospect at a later time when they are done with their current work. I thought it might be of help during those scenarios. But, it is a very negligible case. I should probably remove that line.
Thanks again for your feedback.
The UI looks simple and to the point. came across joustlist.com which does a similar job and thought it could've had features to guide the applicant on how to apply to these jobs effectively. Might take away the simplicity the app, but may make it more effective.
Thanks for your feedback. Also thanks for the pointing out joustlist.com. For now, I'm planning to build features for myself, and for users who ask specific stuff. I will keep your suggestion on simplicity.
Thanks for taking time to give feedback.
cool! all the best and will be keeping an eye on Jublime.
