xoelop··on TheirStack: Find 1000s of Companies Using Any Given Technology [OC]
Hey all!

A year ago I started scraping job posts all over the internet. Now I have a database with 600k+ jobs from tens of thousands of companies.

I've extracted which technologies they're using, based on those job posts. This lets one know things that other sites like BuiltWith can't, because they only analyze the frontend of websites.

It can be useful, for example, to know what companies use technologies that your SaaS integrates to, and then to reach out to those companies.

This is still in a closed beta but I reached out to some companies already and got my first customers. If it sounds like you'd benefit from it, let me know!

Best, Xoel

xoelop··on From Postgres to ClickHouse
Hey HN,

Inspired by this great post on how to do Pandas stuff with Postgres, I wrote this guide on how to do all that on ClickHouse.

Hope you like it! Xoel

xoelop··on Show HN: I've made 10 Telegram channels where juniors can find remote jobs
You're welcome!

I went for Telegram because I saw it working well for similar projects and it lets me reach the people directly, instead of them having to come to a site.

For the people that don't use Telegram I have a blog too and a newsletter at https://bloc.noicejobs.com

xoelop··on Show HN: I've made 10 Telegram channels where juniors can find remote jobs
Hey! I run 50+ Telegram channels where remote jobs are posted every day (https://t.me/NoiceJobs)

Some people told me that the jobs posted are too senior for them and they'd like some channels with more junior jobs.

I think getting a remote job as a junior may not be the best in terms of the rate of learning when you can't still figure out things fast on your own. But office jobs are also a no-no given the current COVID state of affairs, so I thought this could help some people.

Let me know what you think. Cheers! Xoel

xoelop··on Show HN: Browsing and Searching your Twitter Likes
Hey! OC here

I save a bunch of interesting links by liking tweets, but after time passes it's almost impossible to find them. So I made a small project to store them on the cloud and make searches on them easily

The tools I used are all free and the post has all the instructions to do it for your own account.

Let me know what you think!

xoelop··on A contest to win free dev accounts of our ClickHouse-based SaaS product
Hey people!

We (https://tinybird.co) are a small startup that makes very easy to build the data infrastructure to do real time analytics on big amounts of data. It provides a layer of abstraction on top of ClickHouse to make ingesting, transforming and creating API endpoints on the data super fast, and after our first year in business we have a bunch of small customers, and several big enterprise ones

During Black Friday we had the biggest load on our systems so far (everything held out!) and we're running a small contest on Twitter to give free accounts to the 3 closest guesses on how many rows were read per hour on BF

We're slowly opening up and we'd love to see our tech applied to new use cases, so feel free to participate or reach out to us to try out the product :D

The only formatting that HN allows I found is https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc. Not much I can do to make it look 'nice' but I guess I can remove the markdown tags

xoelop··on Show HN: I made a scraper that finds the Best Remote Jobs Every Week on the web
Oh, thanks for your kind message!! :D
xoelop··on Show HN: I made a scraper that finds the Best Remote Jobs Every Week on the web
Hey people!

Some months ago I posted about a bot I made that scrapes 1000s of jobs every day and posts them on a bunch of Telegram channels https://t.me/NoiceJobs

Now I've made a blog so that people that don't use Telegram can see them too. The best jobs in 50+ categories every week will get posted on the blog, and people can also subscribe via email

What do you think, what's your least favorite part about it?

Cheers!

xoelop··on Show HN: Best Remote XYZ jobs found in the World this week
Hey HN!

Some months ago I shared (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23500588) a bot I made that finds and curates the best remote jobs and posts them on Telegram channels. More than 500 people joined and the comments were generally good

Now I've created a blog and newsletter where I'll be sharing the best jobs found every week the week for 50+ categories.

I'd love to hear your feedback on it to make it better. What's what you like the least about it?

Hey!

I'm the founder of NoiceJobs.com. We scrape hundreds of jobs every week, post them to Telegram channels where we have more than 3k subscribers and now just launched a blog where we'll be posting the best jobs found every week.

Hope you find it useful, free to ask me anything about the product :D

xoelop··on Ask HN: Would you consider switching jobs if applying for new ones was faster?

The WhatsApp API is not as open as Telegram's, you have to apply and pay and so on AFAIK. IDK about signal but feels even more nichey than Telegram. I want to focus on doing one channel well than then expand to others
xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
No problem, thanks for saying that!

Ok, I uploaded a photo of how the mails look like now - much better than the old pics. You can see it at https://findmegigs.com/assets/images/gallery01/d9a6787e_orig...

Oh damn, I have to update those. They were taken like 5 months ago, now it's much better. Thanks for reminding it to me
xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
I'm not sure you can get and stay rich long-term without adding value to the world, but thanks for the comment

I agree with you that seems like there's a new remote jobs board every 2 days popping out. That's why I took a different approach with this, and it went from 0 unique subscribers 1 month ago to 1700+ today, over the 50+ different channels that I created within it. Hopefully they're getting something useful out of it!

xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
Hi! Telegram has quite some traction with over 200M MAU, but you have a good point.

I've made over 50 channels for different roles, from C-Level stuff like CTO, CPO positions to very language-specific channels like Rust, Haskell or React.

What I like the most about how I've structured it is that (once you're on Telegram) it's very easy to explore the different channels because they're linked to each other and there's very little friction to join or leave a channel

xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
Sorry, I meant OP. I'm the guy that's developing this thing, that's what I meant. Sorry for the confusion
xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
It does, but it's hard to differentiate yourself making yet-another-remote-jobs-job-board, especially if you're not on distribution already (like I wasn't). I think Telegram is an interesting distribution channel that let me connect directly with people (instead them having to come to a site)

I'll make open newsletters in the future as well, for the people that are not on Telegram. Thanks for your comment! :D

xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
Thanks for your feedback, I agree with you in that if you're not on Telegram it's hard to know what to expect. I'll try to improve that in the future.
xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
Haha yeah, noice ~ nice :)
xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
Hey! OP here. It's one of my first posts here so wasn't quite sure about the title. This links to Telegram channels, so you need to be on Telegram - even tho you can also create an email alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#basic-plan to get the same jobs

Do you think that something like 'Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs on Telegram' would have been a better title?

Thanks!

xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
Fair point. I'll make free, open email newsletters in the futures. If you want to create an email alert to get the same jobs, I also created https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#basic-plan and it's working already (230 subscribers as of now)
xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
Why would you say so? Joining the Telegram channels is free, and creating an email alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#basic-plan is free as well

If you're in financial trouble somehow or can't afford the paid plan on FindMeGigs that sends you all the jobs, DM on Twitter (https://twitter.com/xoelipedes) and I'll give you a free unlimited account for free.

xoelop··on Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs via Telegram
I like the possibility of reaching people directly, instead of them having to visit a web page.

If you're not on Telegram, I forgot to mention before that you can also get the same jobs creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)
