I'm building a job board for developers πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

Hello, Indie Hackers! πŸ‘‹

This is my first try at building a product in public.

I'm making a job board focused on developers πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

I called it, Hacker Jobs ⚑

The plan is to make a simple job board (at first) but specifically for developers, front-end, back-end, devops, ios, android, javascript, rust, aws and so on.

In the long run the idea and vision is to offer multiple services and features to not only serve as "another job board" but more of a "community" in which hackers can set up their profile, save job posts for later, manage the job hunt, follow companies, create a hacker profile and so on πŸ˜„

Basically, the one-stop for developers to find their perfect job ✨

I just finished the landing hero, what's next is to design and code the actual job posts, make the signup functional, add a search bar and then create the form to post new jobs.

I haven't decided the price yet, but what I'm thinking is to donate a percentage of the sales to open source, which thanks to it we can build great products.

What do you think? I'm eager to listen to ideas, question, recommendations and feedback! πŸ™‚

    Good luck, marketplaces are tough

    Good luck @bntz! I've been trying to grow a niche job board myself for 5 months and it's tough to get them up and running. That said, it becomes easier month-on-month when you get a few users and word of mouth spreads.

    Particularly interested to see how you implement the community aspect.

    That's a slick design. I am always tempted to make a job board myself, but then tell myself that it's too late, it's oversaturated. I'm probably wrong ;) good on you.

    How are you building it btw?

      Thanks @pooria ! Yeah there are a lot of job boards out there, so let's see how this rolls, I have some ideas on making it unique and different than the rest.

      I'm using React on the frontend (with Next.js) and Prisma + Postgres for the backend.

      Also using a combination of Tailwind and styled-components for the design.
