The score comes from our model.
- Show HN: Zero dependency cross-language background job queue server · score 7.5
Zizq is a single-binary, cross-language background job queue server built on an embedded LSM database, offering durability and high throughput without external dependencies like Redis or a traditional RDBMS. It provides an HTTP API, client libraries for multiple languages, and features such as scheduling, retries, rate limiting, and unique jobs. Its innovative combination of embedded storage and cross-language support makes it a compelling alternative for polyglot microservices.
- Show HN: JobTrace – a self hosted job tracker that sweeps across various portals · score 6.8
JobTrace is a self-hosted job tracker that scrapes company career pages across multiple ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, etc.), scores each opening against a user's resume using pluggable LLM or offline matchers, and sends Telegram alerts for high-fit roles. It stands out for its stateful job presence tracking, stable ID normalization, token budget controls, and a polished dashboard with an opportunity map and FTS5 search.
- Show HN: FreeApply Free Job Application MCP, runs locally with your existing LLM · score 6.5
FreeApply is a local MCP server that automates job discovery and application using your existing LLM, with a local dashboard, Gmail reply tracking, and signed workflows to prevent hallucinated experience. It packages a non-trivial browser automation and safety pipeline into an installable desktop extension and Claude Code plugin.
- Show HN: Shobr – Job seach CLI via browser automation · score 6.0
Shobr is a Python CLI that automates the job search pipeline on LinkedIn by driving the user's authenticated daily-driver browser via beachpatrol, rather than headless scrapers. It chains discovery, enrichment, LLM-based screening, resume tailoring (Markdown to Groff/Pandoc PDFs), and Kanban-style tracking with human-in-the-loop approval and event-sourced JSONL state. The combination of browser stealth, minimal LLM usage, and a UNIX-style event-sourced pipeline is a distinct and thoughtful approach.
