I posted on Indie Hackers 9 days ago looking for feedback for my recently launched job board for junior developers called HireJrDevs, and I got a very good response, so I wanted to give everyone an update on what I have achieved this week and how I have applied the feedback given.
Showing you what I have done last week reminds me of this
In summary, the first post helped me gather a ton of great feedback from many people and developers out there. I also made some internet friends which gave me excellent advice and inspired me to keep moving forward with my job board with even more confidence than before.

Feedback Received Summary
Get rid of modals for job details. Bad for SEO.
(I did this. Now I show the details about each job on a different page)β
Get rid of error message from TinyMCE Editor β
Raise pricing β
(It was $30 to post a job for a month. Now it's $149, still cheap compared to other job boards)
Fix Font β
(I haven't fixed the font just because I kind of like the font that I'm using, but I'm currently trying other fonts. I haven't decided on this yet.)
Change Color Palette β
(Changed yellow and green for dark colors. I like the current palette, but this is still an open item on my list. I'd like to explore a few other colors and/or improve the current one)
