So far my four suggestions:<p>Allow a description for a job instead of only asking what someone likes at that job.<p>Allow capital letters in the role? Not sure why it lowercases anything but the first letter of a title?<p>Allow users to choose which repos are listed because now the site is spammed with dozens of my repos some of which are junk&#x2F;mvps&#x2F;etc. (it&#x27;s even got ALL my gists on too now)<p>Allow users to delete their account.

Have a Github account? Join here (100% perpetually free with no strings attached): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;engineerfriendly.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;engineerfriendly.com</a><p>I’m a software engineer and work at a HR startup in NYC. We’re growing fast and are often asked to reach out to our own network to refer people. There’s a hefty bonus if someone we refer ends up being hired. As a recent immigrant I haven’t been able to refer anyone, since I don’t know a lot of engineers in the US yet, outside of my colleagues. I recently learned it’s ok to refer people we haven’t worked with personally, which lead me to build Engineer Friendly.<p>How it works:<p>- Log in with Github<p>- The site auto imports your public repos and gists<p>- Create job openings by linking to existing posts on eg LinkedIn<p>- Connect with other engineers on the site through private chat<p>- Added bonus: without applying, you get to track your potentially worth over time, based on the invitations you get<p>- Added bonus #2: You’ll always talk with engineers instead of recruiters<p>- Added bonus #3: If you do choose to apply, you’ll get a warm intro, increasing your chances of being hired<p>Feedback is welcome and highly encouraged
