    This is awesome. Admittedly, I have always been hesitant about using job boards, but this looks super clean and easy to use - great job..

      Thanks!! TailwindUI did most of the heavy lifting.

    Cool idea. I think there is specific demand for Jamstack, Gatsby, Netlify/Vercel stacks that, as you said, gets swept under the rug because most recruiters just look for React etc. Hope to see more people looking at these new technologies.

    1. 1

      Exactly! I’m glad you feel the same.

    Very cool @dbredvick I am getting into NextJS lately coming from Ruby world. I am debating using Firebase vs Mongo—any tips or suggestions?

    Sweet, I'm a next.js dev and am almost done my 2 portfolio pieces. I'm excited to finish and start looking for a job!

    Cool project...
    Built a jobs board app as well :D but for Shopify: https://apps.shopify.com/joboodle

      That’s an awesome idea. Might give that a go for V2, as this first version doesn’t support browsing the posted jobs yet.

    I am thinking of building a job board myself...My stack is also Next.js but I want my job board to be a bit more universal ...I was considering tailwind css at first but decided against it ...bcoz I didn't want to work with @headless/ui at this early stage...what are you using for the js part of it..??

    1. 1

      Working with headless UI and Tailwind has been super good imo

    Love to hear this. I am new to NextJS and currently I am building a small website using NextJS, Tailwind CSS and Contentful. Love to see that someone made this awesome app with NextJS.

      You’ve probably encountered it but the Vercel Nextjs template with Contentful has tailwind already wired up. Would recommend using the template as a starter :)

    Really cool, I've been too busy to look at Next.js but will move to top of list based on your compelling work.

      Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions!

    Congrats! Curious on how you plan to attract companies (that's usually the hardest part of making a job board/marketplace site).

    1. 1

      So right now, the company I work for happens to be hiring so that’s my first “customer” :)

      I’ve been scouring the Discord NextJS server and collecting jobs posted by employers.

      I’m hoping to manually supply jobs until I have a large number of subscribers. At that point I’m hoping I’ll be able to make a valuable pitch to companies.
