The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Freehire, open-source search 3M+ tech jobs from company career boards · score 7.0

  Freehire is an open-source job search engine that crawls 3.3M+ live postings directly from company ATS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, etc.), normalizes and deduplicates them into a single schema, and exposes faceted full-text search via a web UI and public API. It also bundles a workspace for CV building, application tracking, and AI-assisted job matching, making it a comprehensive end-to-end job-hunting platform rather than just an aggregator.

• Show HN: Cosplay as a tech lead, using gVisor to sandbox agents · score 6.3

  MIKE is an LLM harness for software development that integrates gVisor sandboxing, secure extension support via iframe/wazero, and a PWA frontend. It aims to provide a 'tech lead' experience with Kanban-style task management, parallel agents, and robust security features like encryption and passkeys. The project is technically ambitious, combining sandboxing, LLM orchestration, and enterprise controls, but is still early-stage (2 stars, unstable API).

• Show HN: StackCheck – Local-first tech stack intelligence and salary benchmarks · score 6.3

  StackCheck is a local-first tool that scrapes live job listings from HiringCafe, extracts technical requirements with section-based weighting, and visualizes market intelligence (skill demand, co-occurrence, salary benchmarks) via a Streamlit dashboard. It's interesting for its focus on privacy-preserving, offline analysis of tech job market data with a self-contained binary and SQLite storage.

• Show HN: Borehole – acquisition tech due diligence from a repo's Git history · score 6.3

  Borehole is a tool for technical due diligence by analyzing a repository's Git history, aimed at both sell-side and buy-side M&A processes. It offers early detection of code issues before a data room opens, potentially saving time and increasing valuation. The approach of deriving due diligence insights from version control history is a novel combination.
