I don't know why this became a practice, but they are very easy to miss, unlike the job listings with alerts and all kinds of search.
So I built this Chrome extension over a weekend to solve that problem. It tracks specific people or companies and captures those hidden opportunities from the feed.
## Technical / Privacy approach:
- Privacy-First: No data leaves the browser. Everything is stored locally.
- No Monetization: It’s free. I don’t believe in charging people who are currently out of work. No ads, no data selling.
- Classification: It uses simple keyword matching or optional AI classification.
- AI Implementation: If you want to use the AI features, you provide your own OpenAI API key. It's stored with local encryption and I’ve optimized the prompts so it usually costs less than $0.01 per day using gpt-3.5-turbo.
I'm looking for feedback on any features that would make the job hunt more manageable, in this brutal market conditions.
