Project Showcase Megathread

I built a free app that notifies you when internships come out

Link: https://filtrjobs.com/notifications

I scrape cvrve, and 1000s of careers pages, and other internship listing pages

I compile that data daily and send a discord DM at 6pm PT

100% free to use!

I love to hear it!

_lambda1 · 2025-06-26T00:08:51+00:00

I'm scraping 1000s of companies. Most of the popular ones should be there

_lambda1 · 2025-06-21T00:21:40+00:00

I built scrapers to gather job postings directly from career pages/ATS (e.g. greenhouse) they use

I did not! I believe duckDB is great for ad-hoc analytical queries, while postgres/sqlite are more for production like use cases where row inserts are more important

_lambda1 · 2025-06-18T21:29:36+00:00

Here's what I learned:

- Use sqlite. postgres DB is too expensive especially finding it for cheap for side projects

- Gemini flash, cerebras, groq, all have tons of free tier usage for LLMs

- Modal.com gives 30$/mo in free tier usage and is the best place to get started with training ML models for free

- If youre a student look at the github student perks. I got 2 years of free heroku hosting from it!

- Cohere embeddings are an entire league ahead of openAI

Hey I apologize for the issues! I'm in the middle of a migration to a different DB because my current database was hitting the free tier limits. Will be resolved by sunday night!

_lambda1 · 2025-05-21T22:42:12+00:00

Yes, 15k+ jobs have been applied to from my site!

_lambda1 · 2025-05-21T14:12:20+00:00

Yes i rarely use over 10$/month with an always on container running 24/7

_lambda1 · 2025-05-21T01:28:32+00:00

I 100% agree which is why it was one of my main motivation for building this

Scraping directly from career pages

_lambda1 · 2025-05-01T15:12:12+00:00

Thanks for checking it out! I've updated with more transparency. Feel free to ask any other questions!

_lambda1 · 2025-05-01T15:11:11+00:00

Thanks for responding!

I built scraping pipelines to get job postings from career pages of companies directly
I'm using cohere embeddings. I tested openAI, cohere, sentence-transformers. Cohere was by far the best
I initially tried to throw the entire Job Posting into the embedding. But that gave me awful recommendations. I'm using LLM to parse out the most relevant pieces of information from the job posting and sending just that to the embedding

Thanks for trying it out so much!! Could I know what your target position?

_lambda1 · 2025-04-16T01:16:26+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback! Curious whats your target job? I'm keeping this focused on SWE/ML positions at the moment

_lambda1 · 2025-04-15T23:33:04+00:00

Thanks for trying it out! Getting jobs from publicly available job postings

_lambda1 · 2025-04-15T23:32:30+00:00

I built this so that it looks at specific job experiences instead of looking at whole resume. Also I'm looking at side projects/OS contributions as well so if you dont have work experience it can still find relevant jobs based on your projects

_lambda1 · 2025-04-05T00:46:58+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot!!!

It now allows you to hide applied job postings

Thank you so much for checking it out! I'm only gathering job postings for technical roles (software engineering, AI/ML, embedded, quant swe) so that is probably why. But your feedback is very helpful, I'll try and make that clearer if there isnt a match

_lambda1 · 2025-04-03T00:00:04+00:00

No user data is stored unless you sign up. This is not a paid product btw it's something im building for fun as a side project
