Just a thought, and maybe this should be in a separate post, but I could really see the website going in this direction.

Yeah definitely. I've vaguely had this in mind for a while. Not that we'd go this route before having truly discovered the use case where the benefit is clear and practical.

If you ever want to discuss this in more detail, make a meta post yourself describing any ideas or use cases and I'd be happy to brainstorm.

Also some feedback on the jobs tag: Location, Location, Location!

I understand you want to show as many jobs to as many people as possible. You might not think you want to relocate from SF to NY, but then you find that one amazing job that makes you want to.

On the other hand, I live in Belgium/Netherlands (depending on what day of the week it is), and am unlikely to relocate to the US anyway, so it'd be cool if I could limit the jobs I see to Europe, or even certain countries within Europe

Great feature!

It seems like it's only pulling in the first 30 repos from GitHub though.

This is a good case we don't yet support. Added an internal issue.
