Job Listings and Job Insights for PHP Engineers
Initially I created phpJobs to scratch a personal itch. However, after realizing such a resource didn't exist when looking for a job earlier this year I wanted to build it for everyone else too.
Shared on Reddit - nothing ground breaking but overall good feedback.

Launch Day
I've decided to make today the official launch day. I wrote up a little article about my reasoning for starting the site and what my plans are.
Job editing will be coming soon, that will be a necessary feature as we work towards profitability.
Another advertising channel
I've got the green light to start posting jobs on the phpJobs subreddit.

It will be a while before I can automate the integration, but it will be nice to have an avenue other than Twitter.
Tweets are live!
All jobs will now be posted to Twitter.

Job posting is now available for free!
I deployed job posting.
I also reached out to two different recruiters that were trying to recruit me and suggested that they sign up and advertise their jobs.
First Share With Potential Customer
After a bit of debate I went ahead and shared the url with a potential customer.
I was a bit nervous for his feedback but was willing to accept any feedback. Turns out he provided verify valuable and insightful information regarding my pricing and competitors.
I often get contacted by recruiters on LinkedIn due to a decade's worth of experience working with PHP in a SaaS environment. I have the benefit now of being able to try and profit off of those recruiters after I turn them down.
Soft Launch
I decided to pull the trigger and launch publicly (without releasing the url), to ensure everything works as expected.
No real issues. 😊
Work Begins
I officially started work in the shadows. Glorified by a cryptic tweet.
