Where is Who is hiring? hiring?

Overview

This repo contains:

1. The code for the site http://whereis-whoishiring-hiring.me, under app; and
2. The code to scrape Hacker News' Who is hiring? posts and create the database that powers the website, under database.

You can find a list of FAQ about the project here: http://whereis-whoishiring-hiring.me/faq

Building the database

You can either use both Sqlite and MySQL; for the latter, you'll have to stick your password in both config.py, create_everything.sh and update_single_item.sh. Sqlite should just work. (yay!)

Create the database from scratch

Clone the repo and install the requirements; then:

$ cd database
$ ./create_everything.sh <sqlite | mysql>

Update the database with a single HN post

$ cd database
$ ./upadte_single_item.sh <hn post id> <sqlite | mysql>

Run the tests

$ cd database
$ python tests.py

Running the web app

$ python run.py

The webapp is trivial enough that no tests are necessary for now.

Contributing

PRs are more than welcome! :) There's a ton of work that could be done, from tidying up the code to implementing new features. I have few ideas but I lack time. If you want to contribute, drop me a line or go ahead and open a PR.

Mandatory boring disclaimer: this stuff is not affiliated with YCombinator, I don't make a single cent for running it etc etc.
