Keep up the good work with this John. I link to it in almost every issue of my weekly Hacker Newsletter and I've had several people comment on how useful your site is.

Hopefully it will get some more eyes and thus postings today. Maybe you could do a reminder each month in the Who's Hiring threads.

Thank you for that. That's very helpful. I don't like to impose on the "Who's Hiring" threads because they are a HN tradition and I don't feel that trumpeting this site is a good idea there. Of course, it would bring me traffic but might be breaking social taboos here.

Of course, the day PG wants to link from HN to UTS I won't complain :-)

Raphael is a little butt-hurt that you haven't taken on his proposal (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2669100) to collaborate on Job4dev. I bet that the HN community would benefit much more from a joint effort than all of the occasional job sites we see here.

I'm sorry to hear that. I certainly don't want to go around hurting people, but I don't see how to work with him on this. I don't know him, UseTheSource is a sideline and not my main focus.

Has anything changed since you first launched[1]? How has the experiment been going so far?

I like checking it out from time to time to see if anything interesting pops up. I pointed an ex-coworker/friend to one of the postings and he had an interview. They were pretty responsive, although he is now waiting for their final decision.

[1] Genuinely curious, not being snarky. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2661776

Since I first launched I added some functionality (search as the search and the filter options). I fixed some bugs. Folyo offered a link exchange.

As you can see some people have been using the site. Of course, what it needs is more visibility and more traffic. It's an experiment so far.

Thanks for mentioning Folyo! (http://folyo.me if you're curious, it's kind of like UseTheSource, but for designers)

Care to share numbers?

Did you use an existing HN API (e.g. HNSearch or iHackerNews) or did you roll your own?
