Product Hunt

So many companies (or small side projects) build their own jobs directory (we have one!). Smart idea to productize this, @kwuchu. One of the biggest challenges with job boards is selling inventory (for those that are trying to make $$$). Are you planning to build a distributed jobs marketplace on the backend?

@rrhoover Thanks Ryan, I appreciate the kind words! As for building a distributed jobs marketplace in the back-end, it's something I hadn't necessarily thought of. For a distributed jobs marketplace, it's hard for figuring out how that would work. If it gets submitted to ProductHunt's job board, should ProductHunt get paid for the job and it still shows up in other job boards / areas? That was a hard question to answer and it also raises the question of how payouts would work as well. I do believe that its possible this could be a next step that users could opt-in to though.

Hello PH! Thanks Jonathan for hunting this! After working on Interface Lovers and embedding Panda Jobs within it, I realized that every content-driven site should have an easy way to advertise jobs on their site. Whether it's an online community, blog, or even open source documentation, I wanted a simple way for people to get started with a job board. Feel free to give me any and all feedback. I'm here to listen and also answer any questions you may have.

Hi @kwuchu, I was looking into something like this a few weeks ago and I'm glad you built this service 😄. I was wondering if you will add the following: option for companies to add a logo, custom domains, different languages and themes? Congrats on the launch!

@angeliquesocial Hello there Angie! Thanks for checking it out. As for the features you requested... 1) Company Logos - Definitely in the pipeline and I have a feature branch right now that is working on adding in this feature. It's definitely a thing that companies and people will want to show. 2) Custom Domains - Also in the pipeline and I intend to add it in the future. :) 3) Different Languages & Themes - For the language part, I hadn't ever really considered that (although I will take note of it). Theming will be added in for customizing colors and I also plan on adding custom CSS support as well. :) Thanks again for checking it out! Let me know if you have anymore questions. I'm always an email / tweet away.

@kwuchu Hi Iheanyi thanks for your quick response. I'm from the Netherlands and have a few ideas for job listings and would be great if the fields of the forms could be in Dutch. Maybe this could be a premium version for customization. I can definitely work with the English version too 😀🙌

@angeliquesocial I'll definitely take note of that, internationalization should be important. :) Thanks for bringing it up! I've made an issue for it and will start doing some research, I appreciate it. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with in the meantime!
