I believe there is a market opportunity for something similar, but where someone else can helicopter to watch your application attempts.<p>It&#x27;s likely not relevant to the sorts of jobs HN readers do, but in many countries, unemployment benefits can be tied to the beneficiary making positive efforts to find a job. Proving your efforts currently involves a lot of ad-hoc copying of emails and screenshots.<p>Likewise parents compelling little Johnny to get his A into G and get out there applying for jobs.<p>The interesting thing (or cautionary thing depending on pov) is that services like this have potential mega clients like national governments. One deal like that can make or break you.

Nice work! This is really cool. Does it have the ability to create job &quot;profiles&quot; so that you can create different sets of application data to use in different (but often related) jobs? I think that&#x27;d be a really cool feature, as well as auto-generating or suggesting content for job titles, description, etc.

Interesting product. As a feedback, anything that builds on top of existing Google infrastructure, including Chrome and Gmail, I would no longer consider. The same goes for products that tie me into other large platforms such as Apple, FB, etc... Also, it does not have to be free for me. Happy to pay $10&#x2F;month, up to $20&#x2F;month, especially if CRM could be extended to networking, fundraising, and other communication activities. Hopefully this helps.

Had looked at this space years ago, and had built something - initially for myself, but had tried to get others to use it.<p>It was a weird scenario - people who probably needed it most either were too overwhelmed (and possibly jobless at that moment in time) with various application processes and &quot;didn&#x27;t have time&quot; to learn something &quot;new&quot;, or... tried it and &quot;meh, I only apply to a couple places, I don&#x27;t need to keep that much info&quot;.<p>An &#x27;integrated&#x27; process would be great, but even ... 7-8 years ago, a lot of places were moving to automated candidate&#x2F;submission HR systems, and doing email submissions was already locking you out of many applications. That was another piece of feedback - I have to put all this info in to job site ABC - duplicating it is too much work.<p>I was considering trying to monetize - but again, the people who seemed to need it most also had the least money (jobless, etc). Unsure how to get past that dynamic.<p>I learned far more about oauth&#x2F;email integration than I wanted to (and half of that is probably useless now). I remember coming to the conclusion that, while google&#x2F;gmail was a pain to use, they did at least let you do useful stuff. Yahoo and Outlook web mail integration stuff was painful to use and was extremely limited in comparison.<p>Mid 2000&#x27;s time period, I ended up doing a job search that took me well over 100 outreaches, and took 3-4 weeks to get anything remotely close to fruitful. It was, essentially, a full time job for those weeks. The next time I was thinking I would have to go through that again, I built the version of what referenced above - initially for myself, then opened it up and solicited some feedback.<p>I was focusing more on the sending of the emails directly, with open tracking, email templates (search&#x2F;replace with custom cv links, etc). Broader status tracking was <i>there</i> but not as visualized as what it seems this project is doing (and it looks nice from the screenshots).<p>Best of luck to you.

My brother and I were tired of managing various job apps or companies we might want to work with some day in email or not at all. Kiter is a private repo for your job search - both what you have done and recommending what to do next based on where you are in your process.

Browser: Safari<p>Click on see it in action and it takes me to a page that simply says &quot;Welcome to our demonstration!&quot; but nothing happens. When I click on the logo in the top left to go back to the homepage, it brings me to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.account.kiter.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.account.kiter.app</a>. Clicking anything on that page gives me a popup stating &quot;We didn’t find an account with those login credentials mail@kiter.app&quot;

Are many people actually applying for enough jobs for this to have a major use? I know there are plenty of stories of new grads needing 300 applications to get a job, but how common is that? How many jobs were you applying for to inspire this?<p>As an aside, I like your use of the Chrome extension as I built something similar at my company for legal research.

Some early feedback:<p>I use uBlock origin to block all external scripts and then the page is just white until I disable it, not a nice experience.<p>I tried to add my first Application and I&#x27;m getting: &quot;Sorry, we ran into a temporary bug and can&#x27;t complete your request. We&#x27;ll fix it as soon as we can; please try again in a bit!&quot; I basically only put in &quot;Qualcomm&quot; as the company name then <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;jobs&#x2F;view&#x2F;2403729547&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;jobs&#x2F;view&#x2F;2403729547&#x2F;</a> as the link and &quot;Deep Learning SW Engineer - Embedded-AI-Framework&quot; as the position, nothing more. I created a user with a email address, nothing more.

Looks interesting, hopefully a bit better than the spreadsheet I normally use in my hunting process.<p>Unfortunately it looks like either something is botched with your Oauth Credentials for the project, or maybe you hit a rate limit.<p>I&#x27;m getting the following when attempting to sign in with Google.<p><pre><code> Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch The redirect URI in the request, https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.account.kiter.app&#x2F;api&#x2F;1.1&#x2F;oauth_redirect, does not match the ones authorized for the OAuth client. To update the authorized redirect URIs, visit: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;console.developers.google.com&#x2F;apis&#x2F;credentials&#x2F;oauthclient&#x2F;220480969749-t7q92pteqn0rjp9ekjm89lrnnm94hdif.apps.googleusercontent.com?project=220480969749</code></pre>

How about a feature to collect and present keywords in saved job ads so as to highlight those skills or experience worth most to review, learn and (in preparation for an interview) verbally recite about? E.g., 5 out of 6 saved ads mention Java, 3 out of 6 mention HTML, and 1 mentions machine learning. Then your app would help the user discover what is worth most spending time on in preparation for a potential interview and help to organize the time and notes about that preparation (in the latter case, an example would be fetching common interview questions for Java, then coaching the user by having a mock interview with feedback).

A fun feature would be to generate one of those job search Sankey diagrams that Reddit loves.

When does the data of this CRM become actionable? It feels to me like a lot of paperwork to maintain, but I can&#x27;t see what one will do with it. What is the &quot;value&quot; of doing data-entry so I can see that I made it to one interview round at Company X? It&#x27;s not like I can move myself onto Round two myself.<p>The nature of the interviewing process is that the company manages it, the candidate just needs to respond to the recruiter and make themselves available for the subsequent steps of the process.<p>Unless I am missing something?

I like the battery score, like gamifying successful job hunting behavior more or less.<p>Does Kiter have workflow tools to make those best practices easier? Or will it?<p>I’m thinking like email templates and a sending server so I can do cold outreach to a bunch of companies at once.<p>Or hook up my LinkedIn and get notified of people in my network who can help me get referred in to a company I added to Kiter. I know LinkedIn is hard to work with but I think Drafted is a tool that does this to help current employees refer new candidates in to their current employer.

Awesome application.<p>One feature suggestion would be to add an export feature. This feature gives me peace of mind if the business flops, I didn&#x27;t waste hours&#x2F;days adding data to a black hole.

I&#x27;ve been waiting for someone (aka me) to build this for at least a decade! Ever since I saw the four-inch stack of paperwork a friend had for their applications, emails, resumes, appointment reminders and more it made sense to build a one-stop shop for managing all of that.<p>Good luck, and keep HN (or me directly, plz) informed of your success, difficulties, learnings, etc.

Interesting, I built something similar for myself - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jublime.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jublime.com&#x2F;</a>. It is not as polished as this submission, but I just add features which I feel useful to my job search.

Great app! Is there any reason you don&#x27;t have a team section? I personally find sites with some people I can relate to much more trustworthy. (I am not saying your site isn&#x27;t, just trying to be helpful)

As a native English-speaker in the US, the name seems problematic. &quot;Kiter&quot; is not a word and feels closer to a profanity rather than a reference to a kite. Further a &quot;kite&quot; doesn&#x27;t have an aspirational metaphor in US-English-- in fact it is the opposite, &quot;Go fly a kite&quot; is a dismissive phrase. I don&#x27;t think the name is viable.
