The ultra-thin font and text justification together make text very hard to read on a Retina MacBook.

Here's a screenshot: http://imgur.com/BnZn8ZS

(Edit -- why downvote this comment? The OP may not be aware that the chosen font is hard to read on some computers.)

You got downvotes because some people are sick of flaws in design being bigger talking points than the content. Soemthing I don't agree with. If the design is that horrible then it is a good discussion.

He wasn't even saying the design is horrible, merely giving actionable feedback on one design element. I'm sure the site author was grateful, most of us who have released web products would be, I think.

Sorry, reflex; every time I hear a bell ring, I downvote one of your comments.

How do you extract the tags, is it manually or automatic somehow?

EDIT: Nicely done otherwise, thanks!

elsenOP10y ago

Glad to help :) don't hesitate if you have enhancement ideas.

The tags are hardcoded, they are keywords I'm interested in. I'm looking for a remote job and there was no way to search for a combination of tags.

You can see the code I used to extract the data here: https://github.com/lsenta/pow/blob/master/who-is-hiring-2015...

Great, thanks!

If I understand correctly, a post with "remote work currently not possible" statement will be tagged as remote? (not that I have a better idea, just wondering how it works :)

EDIT: postings are a bit difficult to read because of (lack of) newlines. Also, I would prefer Verdana to Helvetica, but that's my personal preference...

This looks excellent - bookmarked :-) One feature on my wishlist would be a 'location' tag - maybe even if it's US / non-US ...

[AngJobs](http://angjobs.com/#!/jobs/inbox/hn?july) allows free custom filters, so you could easily add a location filter, although not possible to combine with other filters at the moment

Did you not include sales or are there just not any opportunities in that realm in your list?

jcr10y ago

The monthly "Who Is Hiring?" submissions here on HN are posted automatically on the first by the "whoishiring" user, along with related freelancing submissions. You can find them here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring

Typically, the listed jobs are programming and sysadmin related, but on rare occasions you might be able to find "sales" jobs in there.

Yeah good and useful.Thanks for making this, really. But you fell on the same mistake remoteok.io: when I search for Scala, I find matches with "scalable", "scalability". Can you please fix it?

Thanks for this. It would be great if links were clickable
