    I don't think King.com and SurveyMonkey are startups. What's stopping this from just turning into another job board? Once the recruiters catch wind of this it will be filled with junk.

    Looks nice, good luck with it.

    Couple of points:

    Browser navigation does not seem to do much (I click on UK then back arrow and remain in UK, have to reload page or click on All to get back to All).

    Esc to close the popup when clicking on an ad would be useful. (Naturally try to do this, and got stuck with a swirly at one point, close button didn't appear. Reload to fix).

    It's a difficult one for a startup job listing, but some indication of expected Salary or perhaps even an indication of equity / salary options would be good.

    I'd like to put an advert on but why do you need Twitter authorisation? It's not clear to me exactly what you're going to do so I'm reluctant to authorise.

    Not sure of the ideal solution but you are referencing 3 forms of social validation users are aware of: upvotes, karma, and retweets. I understand the relationship among the 3 but it adds an unnecessary layer of complexity.

    If the crowd is stupider than individual people, why use it to curate? You'll have the latest Californian startups in drone delivery of gluten-free flour for the whole SOMA district area, but not the next disruptive stuff from a small Spain town.

    I like it! Although it is in dire need of an easy-to-find 'city, location' marker for each entry.

    edit: up!! nevermind, i found it. It's on the bottom right. I initially didn't see it. nice job on the site!

    I found a gig I was interested in. There doesn't seem to be a way to contact them though. Their link goes to their homepage which has no contact info. Maybe the site could facilitate that ?

    "Startupjob.org a Reddit for startup jobs” and now I understand the expression 'ideas are a dime a dozen’.

    Your logo looks exactly like Enthought's www.enthought.com

    What does it take to add new countries (for example Canada)?

    Easy to scan and clean design!

    Very cool idea! Great design

    I use Startupers.com

    There's already a reddit for startup jobs its called reddit.com/r/startups

    Neat site but please don't call it 'Reddit for Startup Jobs', X for Y is seriously annoying. Just say it's a startup job board ..
  • by orky56 on 4/29/14, 4:33 PM

    I also disagree with the name of Reddit for startup jobs. It would still be better to call it a "Socially curated startup job board".
