Hey Ben,
I think a site offering OTP has gotta look trustworthy. The use of emojis doesn't give me the feeling that this is a super serious site. I think for a few bucks, slapping a theme of some sort on there with a few nice graphical elements could really level the project up : )
Got it, thanks and fair point about the emojis. I'll see if I can remove most or all of them. As for the paid theme: not going to pay for one of those, but will review some random paid landing pages to see if they have any nice looking elements I can incorporate into the landing page. Feel free to send any over that you like a lot and I'll give them a look.
If it's cost thats the problem, maybe consider some free ones?

It really does need to level up the design β that would be my input. : )
Got it, I'm using a landing page builder at the moment (Carrd) so the cost of switching to custom code (Tailwind, which I've never used - I'm sure I could pick it up but it would take some time) right now is a bit high. It's going to be faster for me to just add a few of the missing features to this landing page vs. using a completely new platform so I'll do that for the time being. Definitely using a few of these as inspiration though, they look quite nice. Thanks for sending em over.
have you considers a pre built theme? I think this would level up your project.
I think this is a pretty hard space to play in, if I'm going to use something for OTP, I really want to make sure they're still going to be here in a few years.
Thanks for the reply!
Any specific recommendations on what could be improved with the current theme or what other ones you've seen do better?
Even if I disappear, which I won't if there's demand for this - I'm hoping to preempt some of that concern by offering self-hosting and the ability to store user info in the customer's DB instead of mine. That much is listed on the landing page. Is there anything else you'd want to see to feel secure in the product?
Side note: I've gotten some feedback on other forums that a code example or mockup screenshot would be helpful (and I imagine that would help people feel better, as a developer I often look for code examples too), so I'm going to add those things later today.

Hey David,
Site is very cool, awesome to see so many jobs there.
Since this is a ROAST!!! Starting my flame thrower...
1. Your little boxes with the letter in them, are not very helpful. Maybe use
clearbit.com/logo Free api service to get logo β just feed it the company name (very cool).
The list on the front page doesn't make sense. But showing you have 7,830 active jobs does. Maybe browser by employer first? Location first?
I think the the browser by job/location/remote/tag shouldn't be a top menu, should be attached to the main list. Possibly could be four different dropdowns
[Location] [remote] [tag] and clicking the drop down, eg location β you could select you location.The descriptions body text is pretty average.
I've used the chatGTP api to turn unstructured text into markdown.
Here's an example job description to markdown. you can do this via the API
chat.openai.com/share/c5960b7β¦
at 1c for the API call - it would cost 7400*0.01 = $74 bucks. I think that is worth it to massively improve the content and formatting. (if its 3c then thats a bit more).
I noticed some job ads had a salary range. I bet you could summarise and get the salary range out of ChatGPT.
Would be interesting if @julianrubisch and his AI resume generator worked together.
The job description is probably too wide. Ideally about 12 words wide at the maximum. I counted about 16, I would consider making it narrow so it's easier to read, at 16 words, it makes it hard for the eye to find the start of the next sentence.
// end roast //
Good work man! Awesome to see you've got a lot of content in there. Very cool
I like the idea, I wonder if you can generate any revenue from it?
Maybe you could charge recruiters for access? That would be an interesting take.
π€ actually not bad, though not what I had in mind initially.
And I think demand can be easily validated by doing a manual process first. Quite niche, yes, but thinking about how many indie makers, designers etc are out there with their own portfolio sitesβ¦ why not have an external tool handle your βaboutβ page?
I guess Iβll put up a simple intake form and show it around. Maybe some people submit it, then I can try producing resumes manually, then slowly start automating stuff around it
Hey Dude, I tried this out.
Things are working really well and it's pretty slick so far. I can see you have a quite a bit there. I had a need for a company I'm with and I'm thinking this tool might work.
I'm on the board of a company and we were looking at www.boardpro.com and its like $2500 NZD /year.
Its's main features are calendar, meeting files and maybe some notes. We didn't go live with it as it wasn't much value over just emailing our board papers.
I wonder if there is any cross over here?
I think I've failed with:
johns.tools
but you might want both with something like this.
my other domain is goodsign.io so goodsign(s).io doesn't really make sense here.
Yeah - I'm thinking of going the opposite β I've got a business that is pay per use (goodsign.io) so for this one I'm thinking of 3 different subscription packages with different tiers. eg 10 PDF summaries powered by AI, on the base plan.
