Show HN: Another “Who Is Hiring” Aggregator: www.whoishiring.work https://ift.tt/2T0RZ0L

Show HN: Another “Who Is Hiring” Aggregator: www.whoishiring.work Hello everyone! I know there are already a few "Who Is Hiring" aggregators, but I wanted to show off what I've done. My project was cancelled right before Christmas, so this project was a great way to blow off some steam while procrastinating looking for a new job. Tangentially, I am looking for new career opportunities if your company needs a full stack web developer, lol. This website was completed in about a week and a half. I wanted to present it in a Show HN post on Jan 2 when the usual Who Is Hiring posts were featured, but I didn't think it had enough features to make it useful. Even this version has minimal features, such as adding personal notes and marking jobs as applied. There's some other features I want to add, specifically advanced filtering capabilities to see new posts since your last visit, hide posts you're not interested in, saving search patterns as custom filters, and adding support for AND/OR logics in search patterns. The frontend is a reactjs application being served on a basic AWS S3 website with CloudFront in front of it for HTTPS capabilities. The backend API services is a nodejs application running in an AWS Lambda function hooked up to AWS API Gateway. Who is hiring data is refreshed every 15 minutes in a separate Nodejs Lambda function from https://ift.tt/1eaWICc. The data is saved in an RDS, which is the largest monthly expense. This could be replaced with Aurora Serverless in the future. Critical feedback for any and all aspects of the project is welcome. If you have feature requests or want to contribute, let me know here or file a GitHub issue. https://ift.tt/36AWfZa https://ift.tt/35q19Xv Thank you for your time! January 6, 2020 at 11:54AM

Launch HN: Simmer (YC W19) – Reviews for Delivery Dishes https://ift.tt/2Y4sD67

Launch HN: Simmer (YC W19) – Reviews for Delivery Dishes Hi HackerNews community! We’re Vaibhav and Richard, founders of Simmer ( https://usesimmer.com ). Simmer aggregates dishes from DoorDash, Caviar, GrubHub, and basically every other delivery platform out there, and tells users the best dishes across the board. We do this by providing dish-level reviews. Users find highly reviewed dishes on Simmer, choose the delivery platform of their liking, and we deep link them into their chosen delivery app. We essentially lead gen to delivery. We started working on Simmer because we loved trying new restaurants, but never knew what to order. Especially, when there’s a 5 page menu. We always asked ourselves, “Why aren’t there ratings for individual dishes?” We launched our app with this restaurant-centric use case (reviews for every dish at every restaurant), but when we rolled out delivery integrations, we realized that users resonated most with the delivery angle. They found it particularly ...
