Job board glow-up meets comment doom
Show HN: Hnwork.app – UI for Who is hiring posts
A job-search helper drops — and the comments instantly drag its filters and phone experience
TLDR: Hnwork.app tries to make Hacker News job posts easier to search with filters for work type, location, and salary. But commenters immediately roasted two basics — filters that don’t work together and a phone experience one person called unusable — turning the launch into a mini public stress test.
A new Hnwork.app wants to turn Hacker News’s famously chaotic "Who is hiring" posts into something regular people can actually browse: searchable listings, job type, remote or on-site setup, salary tags, and page after page of openings. On paper, it sounds like a glow-up for one of the internet’s messiest job boards. In the comments, though, the vibe turned brutally fast from “nice idea” to “who approved this?”
The loudest complaint was simple and savage: you apparently can’t stack filters, meaning if you pick one option and then choose another, the first one disappears. For a tool whose whole purpose is helping people narrow down jobs, that landed like a comedy sketch. One commenter called it “too much vibe coding,” basically accusing the maker of building on vibes instead of basics. Ouch. The other big drag? Mobile. Another user didn’t just say it was rough on phones — they went full tabloid with “completely unusable on mobile.” That’s the kind of line that sticks.
So the drama here isn’t about whether job hunters want a cleaner way to browse openings — they obviously do. It’s that the crowd instantly zeroed in on the most human complaint possible: if it’s hard to use, the polish doesn’t matter. The jokes were dry, the patience was thin, and the community verdict was clear: neat concept, but the commenters are demanding the app get its act together before they swipe right on it.
