Show HN: gig-finding app for freelancers
8 points by bullrico 5161 days ago
My (revised) MVP - the concept is to put all job-finding activities in one app: job search/listings, emails/replies, resume/portfolio pages. Automate the searches, have an email editor that sends out themeable HTML emails, know which recipients are interested, and point them to a portfolio site of sorts.

Briefly,the main features: * Aggregates jobs via job board APIs based on skills (searches twice a day) * Includes Twitter job search, displays linked content in-app * Email editor/sender (can be scheduled), with HTML templates * Email analytics (track clicks and views) * Preserves email and job listing associations * Landing pages (resume, dashboard-type info sheet), with LinkedIn imports

Might have missed a couple more features somewhere, but that's about the gist of it. I've been trying it out myself (time to land a gig now that the app is "done"), do give it a spin and let me know how things go.

Very similar to a tool I was considering building a while back. Good luck!
Very nice, but the "Ninja Rockstar" sign reeks of brogrammer.
Thanks. Sprucing up the splash pages is next, putting on my marketing hat after some sleep :)
