Ask HN: Those who have recently undertaken a job hunt, what was your experience?**
Hi all,
I am getting ready to start searching for a new position and am wanting to move from a hybrid position to fully remote to offer some flexibility with familial obligations but but I'm not entirely sure whether or not that's a realistic goal in this job environment.
Recently I've seeing some sentiment that suggests the job hunt process for us in tech has been improving, and that recruiters are starting to reach out more often than in ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: I want to create IMDB for Open source projects
I am interested in developing a web application that functions like IMDb for open-source projects. The application would enable project owners to list their projects and attract potential contributors.
Although GitHub is an excellent platform, it does not offer all the features I require. I would like to create a search function that allows users to filter projects based on their complexity and level of saturation.
My application would be particularly useful for ind ... ⌘ Read more

Show HN: I collect content ideas that have worked on TikTok
Over the past couple of months I've been collecting content ideas that have been successful on TikTok. This probably isn't the best place to post, but I figured I should give it a go in case there are HN readers out there who publish videos on the platform. And for everyone else, I guess it’s a peek into what kind of content works there.

Show HN: Mazelit - My wife and I released our first game

The demo is free to play up to level 8 (the final game plays up to level 80) and we'd appreciate any feedback you ... ⌘ Read more
Show HN: 5 Years Ago I made the Recovery Kit, I just made the RK2
The Recovery Kit 2 is another cyberdeck that for me is part computer, part backup device, and part functional movie prop. It's been fun to build, and the HN community has been great with ideas- especially around hosting and getting me off Squarespace. I hope you all enjoy!

I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
I'll be here all day (with a few breaks). As usual, there are many possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with or interested in. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons since I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll do the same. Thank you!
