Launched our Rust job site on the community subreddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/cyxuva/rust_jobs/

Our first project to get our feet wet in the world of "indie hacking" was to build out a job board framework and target niche communities that are under-served by the more traditional, corporate, job posting sites (e.g., Indeed). After a journey of a month or so, we are launching one of our first such sites (rustjobs.io) to the r/rust subreddit!

To be honest, it's a bit harrowing to finally be putting this thing out in the wild. There were a bunch of little things we wanted to continue to fine tune - for example we don't even have a favicon or logo yet - but have decied to stick with that famous quote by Reid Hoffman: "If you aren't a bit embarrassed by the product you launched, you launched too late"

    Congrats - job boards are such a great indie business!

    I'm curious - why did you decide to build versus using a SaaS like Job Board Fire or JobBoard.io?

    Have you considered adding backfill to ensure there are results? Saw there aren't many remote or global jobs (yet!) - could help fill the gap for now.
