Yes, the headline was a bit over the top ;) The HackerNews Part (assembling useful information on the DevOps topic) is WIP and currently on the end of the site. I guess this will go into the direction of a resource-board for DevOps-stuff (be it projects, tools, repos, links, ...) that works with user contributions and curation in the spirit of HackerNews to produce quality content people can act on. WIP :) Thanks for the feedback!
I'm on it. I implemented the Scraping part in the beginning and didn't work on it as much since then because I wanted to Bot-Functionality to complement my workflow for acquiring and acting on this information first.
I guess some of the next steps on the Roadmap will be advanced scraping of projects for tags (e.g. 'terraform', 'kubernetes', etc) and ofc flags like 'x% Remote' or 'fulltime'. Filtering by this info can then be done on the site or by subscribing to only a subset of projects through the Telegram/Slack bot.
PS: if you have suggestions for additional sites to scrape for projects, let me know. Currently I'm focussing on german sites since I only scout for projects in this area, but I'll happily advance the range of inputs.
At first glance above the fold I'm not sure what the site does - I think it would make sense to hit people with your value prop straight away - "an interactive DevOps Board" doesn't tell me exactly what value I will be getting by using the site.
Fully agree. Still not sure what it will do in the end entirely but I'll outline its current functionality better.
For now, it scrapes DevOps Projects (actual jobs you can apply to) from multiple sites and broadcasts each new (and valid) project to the Slack/Telegram Subscribers.
Additionally, you can send the same Bot that informs you about new projects arbitrary URLs (that should be in the same "domain" [aka "DevOps"]) and saves them as a "Ressource". Resources, like projects, will be broadcasted to subscribers.
When subscribing, you can act (up-/downvote) on the links the Bot sends you.
In the end, I personally use it for 2 things:
- I want to know about latest DevOps jobs (mostly freelance projects) that might be interesting to apply to without parsing mails/sites manually. I just get notified once my favorite job-boards publish a new offering
- I want to save/share DevOps related Links somehow. It's actually what I use HackerNews for pretty often (stying up to date with latest tools/trends/...). Ideally a kind of dynamic, topic-centric (DevOps) and "curated" (Upvotes) Knowledge-Base evolves out of it.
Slack and Telegram come in handy for me as I don't want to use another App for this. You simply broker information through the bot and save/display it somehow so actions can be applied to the information. I wanted this to work without the need to register additional accounts or use dedicated tools. Put simply, I want to combine the simple and high-quality way of accumulating knowledge that HackerNews imposes with a more modern workflow to act (e.g. "I only want to forward an URL I find interesting/important and leave tagging, etc to the machine").
