I’ve been working on a job board for startup jobs[0]; if you want to work at a startup, there are more companies than ever, but it’s also harder than ever to know which one to work for. I track number of job posts over time so jobseekers have some data about how much a startup is growing, and I’m hoping to add more types of data as time goes on. Why should investors be the ones who get all the data about startups? Job seekers should, too!

It’s been fun to work on, plus it’s a challenging technical problem: in order to scrape job posts for many companies, you need to make a very generic scraper since they all have different formats and you can’t rely on HTML structure.
