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.

Another 'scratch your own itch' MVP, bear with me.

I'm a long-time telecommuter, and my gig-hunting success depends on two critical elements: an email cover letter that is visually appealing, and a corresponding portfolio landing page with content tailored to that specific email. Last year I decided to automate this process, and after months of lost weekends and late nights fine-tuning it for public consumption, I'm launching my MVP, Impressario. Briefly, it solves these pain points:

* Collect and keep track of job listings in one place

* Maintain a set of email templates for specific job titles/requirements

* Be able to create and send out HTML emails (with images)

* Host and manage different versions of a portfolio (with custom domains)

* Track sent emails to gauge response

Thoughts / comments / feedback appreciated.

After years of explaining UI designs to clients over Skype, we decided to scratch our own itch. Mockaroo is a mockup simulation tool for turning UI designs/drawings into clickable prototypes. It is geared towards designers and entreprenuers: for designers to present image-based mockups to clients and get feedback, and for entrepreneurs to test out app ideas (add links to uploaded napkin drawings!) to a chosen audience.

Check it out, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Inspired by the Cofounder Google Doc's appeal (and the obvious need for a collaborative app), we coded up http://findmycofounder.com/ (based on feature suggestions in the comment threads), and launched it 24 hours later.
