Show HN: Searchable directory of HN Job postings

A searchable directory of Hacker News job postings was built to make it easier to browse monthly listings. The tool now includes a feature to mark jobs as already viewed for better efficiency.

Background

- Hacker News (HN) is a massively influential tech community and news aggregator run by Y Combinator, the famous startup accelerator. Every month, a designated user posts a "Who is Hiring?" thread where companies — mostly startups and tech firms — can advertise open roles in a simple text format. - These threads can run thousands of comments long, making them hard to browse or filter. The poster built a searchable directory that lets users look for jobs by keyword, tech stack, location, etc., and mark postings they've already seen. - The "Show HN" prefix means the poster is sharing a personal project with the HN community — it's a tradition on the site. The directory addresses a real complaint: HN's hiring threads are rich with quality leads but terrible for actual job searching.
