Show HN: gig-finding app for freelancers

by bullrico on 5/9/12, 2:39 PM with 3 comments

My (revised) MVP - the concept is to put all job-finding activities in one app: job search/listings, emails/replies, resume/portfolio pages. Automate the searches, have an email editor that sends out themeable HTML emails, know which recipients are interested, and point them to a portfolio site of sorts.

Briefly,the main features: * Aggregates jobs via job board APIs based on skills (searches twice a day) * Includes Twitter job search, displays linked content in-app * Email editor/sender (can be scheduled), with HTML templates * Email analytics (track clicks and views) * Preserves email and job listing associations * Landing pages (resume, dashboard-type info sheet), with LinkedIn imports

Might have missed a couple more features somewhere, but that's about the gist of it. I've been trying it out myself (time to land a gig now that the app is "done"), do give it a spin and let me know how things go.

    Very similar to a tool I was considering building a while back. Good luck!

    Very nice, but the "Ninja Rockstar" sign reeks of brogrammer.
