Hi fellow indie hackers!
I had been learning (lurking) on IH until I read this post of Lynne Tye for like 1000000 times, and feel like I must do something different this time or the project will go nowhere just like all my previous endeavors.
Building a job aggregator for data-related jobs (business intelligence, data science, data engineering, etc.), which the users can subscribe to for weekly job alerts.
My site:
https://datafactr.co/
It's far from polished, but I would like to get your valuable feedback!
Plan to build:
- Better filter for jobs (skills/tools/task types?)
- Remove duplicate locations
Last thing last: this idea might be silly. Please share with me why or why not that's the case and how I can improve.
Thanks in advance!
Very valid points!
Definitely something to be solved.
you can use a free marketplace builder such as sharetribe that can manage payments too
Great job of describing what Datafactr is! Can you share more about who your ideal users are, how they are trying to solve their problem today, and what they will get out of Datafactr that they are not getting out of their current solution?
Great questions!
Ideal users:
My ideal users are people who want to make the career transition into data-related jobs (which may sound kind of broad — something I'm still unsure about) or are new to the field of data.
The reason I put all of these in the same bucket is because they do have some overlaps (ex. tools, programming language), and some data analysts today may want to be a data scientist or BI engineer tomorrow.
I imagine people with experience in the field would not need to use the job aggregator unless the product is really good (?).
How they are solving their problem today:
My friends with experience in this field all just use Linkedin, Google Jobs, Indeed, etc. :(
What they will get out:
It will solve (not yet) their problem as some people want to do more business-focused analytics and some want to do more statistics-heavy data science, and it's hard to filter this out on the big job sites.
