I wanted one place that <strong>cuts noise</strong> and keeps the bar honest for people <strong>starting out</strong> (bootcamps, career switchers, new grads).</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Search &amp; categories</strong> across remote-friendly roles </li> <li> <strong>Resume matching</strong> to surface tighter fits </li> <li>Listings aggregated and curated so the feed stays useful </li> </ul> <h2> Stack (high level) </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Backend:</strong> Flask, SQLite </li> <li> <strong>Scraping:</strong> Scrapy pipelines into the same DB the site reads </li> <li> <strong>Hosting:</strong> Shared hosting + cron for refreshes (real-world constraints, not just localhost demos) </li> </ul> <h2> Why I’m posting </h2> <p>I’m sharing the build in public and looking for <strong>feedback</strong>, not vanity metrics. If you’re job hunting or hiring for <strong>true</strong> entry-level remote roles, try the site and tell me what’s broken or missing.</p> <p><strong>Live:</strong> <a href="https://anywherehired.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">anywherehired.com</a></p> <p><strong>Product Hunt:</strong> [<a href="https://www.producthunt.com/products/anywherehired?launch=anywherehired" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.producthunt.com/products/anywherehired?launch=anywherehired</a>]</p> <p><em>If we’re connected on Product Hunt, I’d love your thoughts there too once the launch is up.</em></p> <h2> Open questions for you </h2> <ol> <li>What would make this your <strong>default</strong> tab when job searching? </li> <li>What <strong>filters</strong> matter most (timezone, visa, “no degree”, etc.)? </li> <li>Employers: what would make you <strong>post</strong> here vs big boards?</li> </ol> <p>Thanks for reading — comments and harsh feedback welcome.</p> product webdev python career
