Hacker News Remote TypeScript & GenAI Jobs Filter

This Val Town project fetches the latest "Who's Hiring" thread from Hacker News and filters the comments to find remote job opportunities that require TypeScript and GenAI (Generative AI) skills.

How It Works

  1. Fetches the latest "Who's Hiring" thread ID from Hacker News
  2. Retrieves all comments from that thread
  3. Filters comments to find remote job postings that mention TypeScript and GenAI
  4. Formats and displays the results as a list

Usage

You can run this project manually or set it up as a scheduled task to run monthly after the "Who's Hiring" thread is posted (typically on the 1st of each month).

Files

  • backend/index.ts - Main script that orchestrates the entire process
  • backend/hackerNewsApi.ts - Functions to interact with the Hacker News API
  • backend/commentParser.ts - Functions to parse and filter job listings

View Results

The results can be viewed by running the script or checking the stored data.
