JobOps – self-hosted job hunt "Ironman Suit"

Combines three useful pieces into one local tool: board scraping, LLM-based fit scoring, and resume PDF generation via RxResume, with Gmail inbox linking for automatic post-apply tracking. The Docker-first onboarding and configurable LLM providers make it approachable for tinkerers, but extractor reliability, regional coverage, and scraping/ToS issues are the real tests — documentation and region-specific extractor robustness will make or break adoption.
