Some context: One of the richest guys in Poland, who became famous for creating a product that people genuinely like (https://inpost.pl), got really angry with Meta for allowing fake and offensive ads. He decided to use his money to take them on.

The article is in Polish. Google Translate version linked.

Happy Kagi user.

I switched to Orion at some point, but due to bugs and battery drain, I had to switch back (to Safari!) As soon as those are fixed, I’m back again.

I’d also pay for it, if that changes anything. Actually, I would pay for the browser, period, if it was good, respected privacy, was efficient and fast on mobile, and synced things between devices.

We are seeking both a Senior Backend Engineer and a Senior FrontEnd Engineer. (Fullstack developers also welcome.)

About Eventplicity Eventplicity provides planning and logistics software that helps restaurants book private parties and special events. We're a startup with an exciting growth trajectory. This isn't restaurant reservations. We book private events that involve the planning and execution of many intricate details. We provide a modern web application that tackles the surprising number of complexities involved in planning private parties from start to finish. Every venue is different, every event is different, and every booking is different. Join our team and help us build the right set of abstractions and the modern interface that will wrangle these complexities into a smooth, easy-to-understand online booking experience.

Our Stack:

Front-End: Modern Javascript stack (ES 2015+ syntax, babel, webpack, jest, React, Redux, Socket.io, Bootstrap)

Back-End: Python, Flask, Small amount of Node.js & Go, Redis, PostgreSQL

DevOps: AWS, Docker, CircleCI, Git / Github

Development Culture

* We greatly value high quality code and strong technical acumen.

* Since we're a startup, we understand there are tradeoffs and there will be technical debt. We can't make everything perfect. While we greatly value high quality code, we know it's equally important to move fast and learn from our users in order to succeed.

* We prefer stable technologies, but we also want to use modern tools.

* We do not make artificial deadlines. We work hard to be productive, but it's never a push for an arbitrary date.

* There is no bureaucracy (our software team is small).

Speaking from the perspective of someone who did some amount of web stuff with maps.

Mapbox feels really good. API, docs and rendering performance all of this is really good. Although it's not an obvious choice if you are starting fresh. I personally find the pricing impossible to digest. Probably sounds reasonable for well-founded startups from developed countries. If your doing a bootstrapped product and can't pay 500$ it's not for you.

Google Maps. the v3 it's here for a while. The API feels good, but not great, Stack Overflow is your documentation. Rendering performance is bad, rendering performance with (many) markers without some hacks is terrible, rendering performance on mobile is even worse. I'm trying to figure out what new the pricing means for me.

Leaflet and OpenStreetMap look like a better choice for all hobby projects and small product from now on.

I wasn't planning to go that broad, extending this outside IT would need serious research in HR mechanism for each of those categories. I'm not calming that that I know HR in IT but this project kind of evolved from my needs.

You can filter using the category filter. Link bellow is for design jobs.

Disclaimer: I wrote whoishiring.io, and I'm not doing too good job to present that other categories ar available (the filter is missing on the index page). But yes my main focus in the beginning were dev jobs.

Hey, a friendly reminder. I’m parsing the thread, all job offers added here are also available on the map on

https://whoishiring.io/

https://whoishiring.io/hn (just HN items)

There is a report button if I've mismatched something.

If you post here (and want to have your post on the map) please check this format (https://gist.github.com/xando/5c2ba312184ad0356335a87ec3a750...) it helps with parsing. If you won’t, no worries, I will do my best to get all the things right.
