I like this. I am laid off as well tracking applications in excel and I hate the double data entry.

Have you thought of implementing something like tripit? The way it would work is after applying for a job, I would forward the confirmation email to appplications@joblogservice and you would parse the email to get company and application date.

You could even enrich the data by adding company details details from crunchbase or similar.

Similarly, we could forward the interview and rejection emails to the same address to track those milestones

You have something here

Thanks for taking a look and the feedback! I haven't heard of tripit, will take some time to explore it. There is definitely some room / appetite for some form of integrations to help "automate" the process, but haven't taken the time to really dive deep here, but I'm glad that someone else has mentioned this too!
