One portal moved me to "Shortlisted" and I only found out because I happened to log in.</p> <p>So I built ShortList, a job tracker that updates itself.<br> → Apply anywhere. A Gmail filter forwards job emails, and ShortList reads them: confirmations create the application, "viewed" and rejections update it, automatically.<br> → Save any job in one click with the Chrome extension, including the full JD (because postings disappear right before your interview).<br> → Share a job from the LinkedIn or Naukri app on your phone, and it's saved.<br> → It remembers what you told each company: CTC, notice period, years of Node.js.<br> → Follow-up reminders, plus optional AI interview prep and follow-up drafts using your own API key.</p> <p>Every automatic change shows up on a timeline with its source and you can undo it.<br> It's free, open source (AGPL-3.0) and self-hostable, and built with Indian job seekers in mind: LPA, notice period, Naukri.</p> <p>Stack: Node.js, Express, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, React PWA, Chrome MV3 extension.</p> <p>Try it yourself: <a href="https://yash-satankar.github.io/shortlist/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://yash-satankar.github.io/shortlist/</a></p> <p>If you're job hunting too, I'd love your feedback.</p> <h1> opensource #jobsearch #nodejs #typescript #buildinpublic </h1> webdev opensource productivity career
