kristjan··on Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (June 2012)
San Francisco, CA - https://singly.com/jobs: Full-time Platform Engineers and Lead Developer Evangelist

Hi, HN! Thanks for the nearly 10,000 hits yesterday [1]; that was a blast for us. Each dollar of the $10,000 prize in our app challenge this weekend [2] is now dedicated to one of you.

Singly is hiring a lead developer evangelist and horde of generalist engineers to build a cross-service API that provides merged, normalized and deduplicated data from all of your personal sources (Facebook, Foursquare, Fitbit, email, text messages, you name it). We recently closed $7MM in funding, which we're using to expand the team and ramp up developer outreach, as well as put on huge events like this weekend. Mega bonus points you've got tons of experience building or heavily consuming APIs, but if you're smart and like burritos, let's chat.

Apply through https://singly.com/jobs or kristjan@singly.com. Or, just come hang with us in #singly on irc.freenode.net and at our monthly happy hours [3].

Happy hunting!

kristjan··on How APIs should be: Drop in keys, running in 1 minute
Good call. Maybe it was misworded in the post, but the packages available for download are fully functional app skeletons that consume the API and are ready for you to build on. The API itself is just JSON over HTTP.

Making an API accessible without code is an admirable goal. Reminds me of Yahoo Pipes and the application-via-visual-blocks frameworks.

If the topic is cool enough, you'll post it anyway, which would be a win for signal:noise

Currently of limited utility; depending how many people you follow on Twitter, links can fall out of history pretty fast. More networks and speed improvements will come as the Singly API improves.

Singly's API, by the way, is currently super-alpha. Apologies for confusing things and any load issues.

San Francisco, CA - http://singly.com/jobs: Security, Infrastructure and QA engineers, Full time, Remote OK

Singly is hiring all sorts of engineers (and more) to build a cross-platform, cross-service API that provides merged, normalized and deduplicated data on which apps can be built. We're well on the way to an early-June launch and have had a fantastic response to early signups. A recent $7MM in funding [1] is letting us expand the team and ramp up developer outreach. If you're not quite after a job, we'll still happily pay you at our $10k hackathon [2].

Apply through https://singly.com/jobs or kristjan@singly.com, or just come hang with us in #lockerproject on Freenode.

Fun product, the calls are an amusing touch.

I built something to scratch the same itch a few years back. It's open at https://github.com/kristjan/stars and deploys immediately to Heroku with just a few ENV variables to set.

Happy being happy, everyone.

San Francisco, CA - http://singly.com, Node.js Infrastructure and Frontend Engineers, Full time, Remote OK

Singly, sponsoring The Locker Project (http://lockerproject.org), is building an open source data locker to put you in control of the information you have on N services, and an application platform to make it all useful. We believe end-users should have absolute power over how their data is stored and used, and developers should be able to build on it without setting up servers or authing infinity service (we do it for you). We've just launched to developers (come play!) and are looking for people who {heart} data and want to charge through scaling and design iterations with us.

Apply through https://singly.com/#About-WorkWithUs or kristjan@singly.com, or just come hang with us in #lockerproject on Freenode.

Nice! I was thinking about adding Flickr as a source for sake of photo quality. There's probably much less random awesome though.
