Show HN: I made Kanban board and browser extension for job application tracking

I have always thought that we could do a better job of helping out job candidates with job applications. So I have created a special kanban board focused on job hunting. It has the following features:
- A browser extension with which you can add jobs from anywhere with a single click.
- We will remind you of your pending applications via email every weekend. So this way you never miss the deadline to apply.
- Adding job-related info for each job such as deadline, company, apply links.
- Taking notes, adding contacts, adding to-do items, and tracking events for each job application.
Profilehunt has been built using/uses the following technologies.
Ruby on Rails - Web framework
StimulusJS - Javascript
TailwindCSS - CSS
Redis - Memory store
Postgres - Database
Nginx - Reverse proxy
AWS Cloudfront - CDN
AWS lightsail - VPS
If you are interested head out to https://profilehunt.net/ and let me know what you think. Thank you.
Yes. My future plan for Profilehunt is to build a fully-featured recruiting solution for employers which updates the application status for candidates in real-time. I think there is room for improvement for both sides of the application process.
