Thank you for this! I coming up on graduation and am looking for my first job. Perhaps I am a narrow use case, but I would like to see a distance slider for the filter; I am looking to relocate to the SF area but I really don't care what city it is.

Also, it would be nice to see a little bit of information underneath the posting before you view the full ad: maybe show the "skills" section from AngelList?

Again, thanks! I already applied to FormSwift through your site.



Awesome! Hope you get an offer from there :-)

Both your points make sense. Reg distance slider - do you think option to input state can be an alternative? Would that work for you?


Personally, they both make sense to me. I've always seen a slider option but I'm sure it's more work to implement. State could be an easy way to search on a bigger scope.

I feel like you would have to ask yourself how most people use these features: perhaps someone is searching for the city they live in and are willing to commute "30 miles." They certainly wouldn't want to search the entire state of Texas. Is that the major use-case for users of your site? Forgive me if I'm using an incorrect logic here as I have never done user interface testing but this seems like the sort of thing to think about when designing features.

Honestly though I love the simplicity in design of your site, but the way your job-tile elements are created they're just begging to be clicked on to expand them for more detail.


Great user interface points, and not just because they match your current need.
