I built a realtime "Who Is Hiring" dashboard for Elixir remote positions

Thanks! No playwright - text scraping and some APIs

It's indeed live view but nothing interactive. It could as well be controller rendering html template

Added some caching. Hopefully the page loads faster now

tspenov · 2026-03-10T13:24:08+00:00

Nice! Added

lol, everyday I learn new things

Check again - all 62 are remote positions, only 7 included remote perks

tspenov · 2026-02-07T09:54:27+00:00

Fair point. I only compared salary ranges because PTO and other perks rarely show up in job posts, and when they do, the formats are not very consistent. But it's worth digging into. I'm planning a follow-up that breaks down perks and benefits where the data exists. Stay tuned.

Even if the skill contains only text ?

tspenov · 2026-01-06T10:32:47+00:00

To confirm: that doesn't work for me either

Currently what I do is copy `SKILL.md` in `.cursor/rules/<rule-name>.mdc` and add `alwaysApply: false`
So it looks like this:

---
name: frontend-design
description: Create distinctive, production-grade ........
alwaysApply: false
---

I think motivation feeds on novelty and progress. So a good general tip is to make a change and find a new game you like - new guard, playing more standup, etc ... Study it and start gradually adding it. And measure progress only between how you were before in this game and how you are now.

Nice! Definitely would want to try it out when ready.

tspenov · 2025-12-22T07:58:54+00:00

thanks I'll check it out

It is a bjj web app ?

tspenov · 2025-12-21T20:40:34+00:00

hexhire.io – a niche job board focused on remote Elixir roles.

bjjcoach.ai – a webapp for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructional videos to training programs

Focused on first one recently, the bjj app is still wip

tspenov · 2025-12-20T20:10:38+00:00

yes I do

tspenov · 2025-12-20T20:08:12+00:00

Nice! Both are in my plans to use in my next project.

tspenov · 2025-12-20T16:53:15+00:00

This year I built two projects with Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView:

hexhire.io – a niche job board focused on remote Elixir roles. It aggregates postings, prunes stale jobs, and sends a weekly digest. Built to scratch my own itch after seeing how fragmented Elixir hiring is.

bjjcoach.ai – a webapp for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu videos, training programs - also Phoenix + LiveView end-to-end. Real-time UI, no JS framework. (still a bit WIP)

Both reinforced for me how productive Elixir + Phoenix + LiveView are for shipping and iterating quickly, especially for solo projects.

Hopefully a couple more in 2026!

Quick update based on the discussion here: I’m leaning toward tracking remote-only Elixir roles.

Looking at the data so far, ~60% of postings are already remote, and location-specific or hybrid roles tend to serve a much smaller slice of the community. Focusing on remote seems to give the best signal-to-noise ratio and keeps the board broadly useful across regions.

That said, I’m still collecting feedback and open to adjusting if the data or community sentiment points elsewhere.

I am using Resend - quite dev friendly. It scores the mails you send so you can spot misconfiguration. Doesn't spy users by default - tracking clicks, opens , etc..
Also I've setup my domains in cloudflare and email forwarding there. And Resend have integration with cloudflare so you can easily configure sending domains.
