I saw a post on reddit recently where OP said a potential buyer was asking to see the code of his app and he was afraid the guy might “copy” his project.

Honestly I find this a bit funny, especially now with AI when anyone can vibecode a copy of any product. While I still believe building a quality product matters in the long run, marketing and distribution were always the hard parts.

So I’d like to give away the code of my side project as an experiment. The problem is definitely validated, I’ve had ~10k users trying out the app and and made $33k over the last 2 yrs with it. Source: trust me bro.

The code has been open source for a while now, but I challenge anyone to make a better business out of it.

I was curious about how many remote roles were actually in the latest “Who’s Hiring” thread, since the listings can be a mix of everything and it’s hard to tell at a glance.

I pulled the jobs from hnhiring.com and sorted them based on whether they mentioned remote work or not. Once everything was separated, there were more remote-friendly roles than I expected. A lot of them seemed to be from smaller companies that don’t always show up on the big boards right away.

Yep, that’s the one

Never thought about it this way, but I guess you’re right :D

I definitely gave in to internet pressure, yeah :)) Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it

Hey HN,

I got frustrated with job boards showing irrelevant listings, so I built First 2 Apply—a desktop app that aggregates job postings and uses LLMs to filter them based on your exact tech stack.

Instead of relying on keyword matching, the app processes each job description to check if it genuinely aligns with your skills. I use it to find remote React/Node/Express roles while filtering out jobs that require Angular, PHP, or anything outside my stack.

I built this for myself, but figured others might find it useful too. Would love to hear thoughts, especially from those searching for jobs or working on similar problems!
