Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies just go silent instead of sending rejection emails, leaving you guessing whether to keep waiting or move on.
I faced this frustration during my own internship search, especially when there was no real point of contact (automated replies don't count, lol). So, I built didtheyghost.me, a simple open-source tool that crowdsources job application responses.
This isn't a job scraper or another job board. It's a community-driven way to share real-time updates on job applications, so you're never left guessing.
It helps answer questions like:
- Has anyone heard back from this role? [1]
- How long does it usually take to hear back? [2]
- What are the online assessments/interview rounds like for company X? [3][4]
- And the big one: Did they ghost me?
How it works:
1. See a job listing (e.g. on LinkedIn), apply for it, and haven't heard back?
2. Use the platform to check if others have received replies, interviews, or offers.
3. Find out if you're in the same boat or if you might've been ghosted.
It's completely free, open-source, ad-free, and community-driven.
