http://impressar.io<p>Another 'scratch your own itch' MVP, bear with me.<p>I'm a long-time telecommuter, and my gig-hunting success depends on two critical elements: an email cover letter that is visually appealing, and a corresponding portfolio landing page with content tailored to that specific email. Last year I decided to automate this process, and after months of lost weekends and late nights fine-tuning it for public consumption, I'm launching my MVP, Impressario. Briefly, it solves these pain points:<p>* Collect and keep track of job listings in one place<p>* Maintain a set of email templates for specific job titles/requirements<p>* Be able to create and send out HTML emails (with images)<p>* Host and manage different versions of a portfolio (with custom domains)<p>* Track sent emails to gauge response<p>Thoughts / comments / feedback appreciated.

This looks pretty cool. Tracking all of that stuff is a little messy, I definitely could've used this back when I was on the market.<p>However, I see this as a cool open source application rather than a for pay service. The problem is that if your service works really well... You're going to eliminate your customers as they get gainfully employed thanks to your site.

You did a great job of making the How It Works section clear and appealing.<p>The one addition I would suggest for the Features page is what email address will your customers be able to use? Will it be their own or an @impressar.io address?

Look awesome, I was just looking for something like this a couple weeks ago. I'll definitely check it out. If email me at jpollak92 [at] gmail, I'd happily send some thoughts your way (your email is not in your profile).
