Hello PH 👋 Incredibly excited (but also scared) to be launching this site! It’s been a few months in the making and finally ready for the "PH judgment day" 😅 Why scared? Well, when launching anything new, you always risk failing at it, it not taking off, making a mistake and just generally being laughed at and ridiculed. But got to do it anyway. So. I took all the lessons and pains from running CryptoJobsList.com over the past few years and decided to apply it to a new site. The main thing I tried to focus on is simplicity. Keeping it simple. Elegant. Fast. And repeatable. Hope you enjoy it! 🛠 Tech stack I went with what I knew best: JavaScript/TypeScript. Next.js, TailwindCSS and Strapi on Postgress for the backend. This might sound like a rather hipster setup, but it has its own advantages and disadvantages. Despite its claims, Next.js, is quite bad for SEO. Either that, or I’m terrible of making use of it. But no matter not minimal I keep my dependencies, Web Vitals will still complain and Google will seem to crawl the site with questionable stability. Some days I’m just tempted to switch to PHP lol or to some server side rendered node framework (ghost?). I’ve also looked at Fresh (deno) with its islands architecture, but I felt moving to Deno’s dependency management is not for me just yet. 🤔 What I learned in the process Not gonna lie, I’m rather new to the cyber sec community. But I’ve got to say the community is massive yet very friendly! I’ve been running this Twitter account and been eves-dropping on people sharing about their CISSP certifications, memes, successes and failures. I’m super excited to be learning more about this domain and community. Happy to answer your questions fellow makers! But also, I have two questions for you: 1. what do you like about this new site so far? 2. what do you wish we added? what would be cool to have improved?

Raman, my congratulations on this launch 🙌 Didn't you think about giving an API access to your job database to third parties? It can be other source of income for both of your businesses.

Thank you, @sukazavr! Good question. I plan on adding an RSS feed. Surprisingly that's still one of the easiest ways to integrate. How are you planning to use the API by the way?

@ksaitor nothing particularly comes to my mind, but it seems like after good API comes better UX as many people would have a chance to make innovations on top of what is already developed, thereby benefit to each other. Anyway I wish you a good luck with your endeavor 🤞

Cool. I've always wondered: How do you get the initial data set when launching a job listing page?

Great question @1korda. What every single successful job board does is scrape. Scrape scrape scrape. If someone says otherwise - they are either lying or gonna have a hard time getting their site off the ground. Even the very big guys, like Indeed, started off scraping and afaik still do that periodically. p.s. Good work with Cryptoradar !
