I'm currently running a job board without ads or any ways to make revenue. I see this as a way to learn things - adding one layer of complexity at a time to see how far I can push it and learn things.

I have noticed that I like to learn things by doing so that's the goal. Not exactly a monetary thing but rather investing in myself.

Right now, I'm looking at splitting the server to host at multiple locations so I can improve latency via Geo DNS.

Love the name, funny and clever.

Also, wish you good luck with the project.

At first glance, I wondered why you would make the text almost illegible very light grey on a white background... until I realized my (always-on) Dark Reader plugin fooled me.

Thanks a lot! Glad you figured it out :)
How are you getting job data?
There are some sources for this: for example - The Muse offers an API. Some of them are paid though.
Wouldn’t adding your domain to cloudflare help with reducing latency?
yeah it does, for CDN. But not the latency for server response.
well, a job board should be very cacheable. so most of the time the request doesn't need to go to the server.
It is pretty useful
Thanks!
