Awesome :)<p>This looks great! Francis, congrats on launching:<p>Feedback
- agree with below on the name, not so hot on it
- be aggressive with your promotion! the challenge is getting developers to actively use the app, so that's what you'll need to optimize<p>I co-created (along with my friend Sam who's fantastic!) a similar app that is in it's very early stages (started many months ago, paused for a while, but in the recent frenzy got it finished up quick!).<p>You motivated me to submit it!<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7262142" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7262142</a><p>I'd love your feedback on Score, Francis!
This is the second "tinder for jobs" app we've seen in the last week (the other was www.emjoyment.com -- not a native app though)<p>Torturing the dating metaphor, is Tinder a better model than eHarmony?
So how do you prevent yourself from getting scammed for the $1,000 hiring bonuses? You've incentivised people for up to 50-60 hours of effort to scam you. That's going to be tough to defend.
Couple issues:<p>1 When viewing a company website on my 5c, there was no UI element or gesture I could conjure to go back to the job listing.<p>2 I signed up via LinkedIn. After quitting the pp to get out of the webview issue mentioned above, attempting to use the app resulted in me getting kicked out to the reg wall and the linkedin integration failing to work a second time. The error displayed was that I needed to upgrade the app.
I'm going to be open sourcing an iOS7 UI web app framework pulled from Blonk if anyone is interested. Let me know what components you'd like to see.<p>It's based on the new Meteor UI components but the CSS could be used on any stack.
I'm one of the co-founders. My name is Tom. Thanks for all of the input. If you have any questions and thoughts on what you'd like to please fire away. Also, my email address is tom@blonk.co
I would ranodomize it. I don't want to see all the positions for the same company one after the other. Also, the Filter section froze (maybe because it was still attempting to load all the filters? Maybe pagination would fix that?)
Funny, I applied to YC with this exact idea. Unfortunately, I had barely done any work other than thinking through the idea so, understandably, nothing came of it but glad to see someone went through with it...good luck!
I was actually really looking forward about using this app, but I found it unusable. I've messaged Patrick about it through the app, but the app froze when I changed the filters. Also, I saw 4-5 listings only?
"This item cannot be installed in your device's country", which is Hong Kong. I guess this is by design since locale is a dimension of complexity that you want to figure out later?
Wow, is taking a job as snap of a decision as hooking up with someone? Nope. So how does the Tinder model make sense for this? Even from a UX perspective, seems like a really horrible idea.
