AI Analysis

●MidShip It

Better UX than LinkedIn's job search, but relies on LinkedIn scraping that violates ToS.

Strengths

•Dual interface (web + TUI) with consistent backend API shows thoughtful architecture.
•Practical job workflow features: starred jobs, company/job exclusions, hourly auto-scan.
•Optional Groq-powered keyword refinement and logo matching adds useful enrichment layer.

Weaknesses

•LinkedIn scraping violates ToS; no mention of legality or sustainability of approach.
•Job search automation already solved by LinkedIn's own saved searches, alerts, and third-party tools like Indeed, Glassdoor.

Post Description

I'm sure there's a million things like this, but banged this together as a little day project due to my distaste for the actual UI/UX of LinkedIn's job search feature.

Runs local on your machine via Docker!
