Turns out working on many, many projects at the same time is actually a way to cope with a quarantine.

I've built a flight planning tool for complex itineraries https://flightnotebook.com/ (bad timing, I know)

Historical job vacancy tracking website https://careerspulse.com/

And topping it off with releasing a full-text search query builder for Postgres + Rails to github (https://github.com/wyozi/pg-searchable)

I love career pulse. I’ll give it the ultimate compliment: can’t believe no one thought of it before.

Nice!

If comprehensive, the back-end employment data may be valuable to DIY quants. Consider selling it on Quandl or the like.

Thanks (especially for name dropping Quandl)! Using the data for investing was actually a major source of inspiration for the idea and I'll look into it, although packaging it nicely might be an issue.
