Another 'scratch your own itch' MVP, bear with me.
I'm a long-time telecommuter, and my gig-hunting success depends on two critical elements: an email cover letter that is visually appealing, and a corresponding portfolio landing page with content tailored to that specific email. Last year I decided to automate this process, and after months of lost weekends and late nights fine-tuning it for public consumption, I'm launching my MVP, Impressario. Briefly, it solves these pain points:
* Collect and keep track of job listings in one place
* Maintain a set of email templates for specific job titles/requirements
* Be able to create and send out HTML emails (with images)
* Host and manage different versions of a portfolio (with custom domains)
* Track sent emails to gauge response
Thoughts / comments / feedback appreciated.

However, I see this as a cool open source application rather than a for pay service. The problem is that if your service works really well... You're going to eliminate your customers as they get gainfully employed thanks to your site.

The one addition I would suggest for the Features page is what email address will your customers be able to use? Will it be their own or an @impressar.io address?
