Thank you everyone for your feedback!

You're right in that load times were abysmal. I have since removed the Product Hunt-like popup modal on the landing page. While I personally enjoyed the aesthetic and UX, my no-code pop-up was loading all of the images/videos for 100+ job listings upon load. No wonder it was so slow.

The new simplified experience (and many would argue, improved UX) goes directly to a full page listing AND reduces load times by >90%.

I have been operating this job board in beta for a couple of months and never had a complaint about load times (maybe it is all of us gamers that are used to download 12 hour game patches). I owe a great debt of gratitude the HN community for surfacing the issue.

Thank you!
