Not affiliated with this. Found it the other day, started using it today and looks really good, exactly what I needed
Hey all!

A year ago I started scraping job posts all over the internet. Now I have a database with 600k+ jobs from tens of thousands of companies.

I've extracted which technologies they're using, based on those job posts. This lets one know things that other sites like BuiltWith can't, because they only analyze the frontend of websites.

It can be useful, for example, to know what companies use technologies that your SaaS integrates to, and then to reach out to those companies.

This is still in a closed beta but I reached out to some companies already and got my first customers. If it sounds like you'd benefit from it, let me know!

Best, Xoel

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Windguru.cz yet

Hey HN,

Inspired by this great post on how to do Pandas stuff with Postgres, I wrote this guide on how to do all that on ClickHouse.

Hope you like it! Xoel

You're welcome!

I went for Telegram because I saw it working well for similar projects and it lets me reach the people directly, instead of them having to come to a site.

For the people that don't use Telegram I have a blog too and a newsletter at https://bloc.noicejobs.com

Hey! I run 50+ Telegram channels where remote jobs are posted every day (https://t.me/NoiceJobs)

Some people told me that the jobs posted are too senior for them and they'd like some channels with more junior jobs.

I think getting a remote job as a junior may not be the best in terms of the rate of learning when you can't still figure out things fast on your own. But office jobs are also a no-no given the current COVID state of affairs, so I thought this could help some people.

Let me know what you think. Cheers! Xoel

Re:Show HN: Browsing and Searching your Twitter Likes on Thursday January 14, 2021 @08:23AM (#25775986)
Hey! OC here

I save a bunch of interesting links by liking tweets, but after time passes it's almost impossible to find them. So I made a small project to store them on the cloud and make searches on them easily

The tools I used are all free and the post has all the instructions to do it for your own account.

Let me know what you think!
