the whole product is one field everybody else throws away

every company job board hands out an exact publish timestamp on every posting. greenhouse, lever, ashby, all of them, free, no auth. and basically every job site strips it and shows you "posted recently" instead.

i kept it. 998 boards, 47,297 open roles, every one with the real minute it went up.

turns out 22.9% of those open roles were first posted six or more months ago. 10,926 of them. that number only exists if you kept the dates, which is the entire moat. someone funded copies my search in a weekend and still can't tell you that.

cost me a month of polling before the data was worth anything. no way to shortcut it either, you just have to start early and wait.

47.9% publish a salary too, which i only get because i parse the description text rather than the salary field. greenhouse doesn't have a salary field at all.

link - firstin-delta.vercel.app happy to get torn apart on the parsing

i pulled every salary that ~1,000 companies published on their own job boards. here are the medians

not self-reported and not scraped off glassdoor. these are the ranges the employer printed in the posting itself, which pay transparency law forces them to do in a lot of states now.

engineering manager - $255,000

ml engineer - $238,000

data scientist - $225,000

software engineer - $220,000

product manager - $216,000

security engineer - $210,000

product designer - $200,000

the samples are big enough to mean something. 2,465 software engineer roles, 725 product manager roles.

two things i learned pulling it:

- only about half of postings carry a range at all. greenhouse has no salary field, so companies write the range into the description text instead of a field

- a dollar sign is not a currency. i almost published a taipei role as $700k because the range was in TWD

happy to run the numbers for a specific title if someone wants one.

built a free SAM renewal reminder, would this have helped you

you type your expiry date in once. it emails you at 90, 60, 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days out, then again if it lapses. no account, no card, nothing to install.

i built it because sam.gov's own guidance for tracking this is "sign in and look", which is fine until the one year you forget.

it does not read your SAM record. it can't. the public entity extract is closed and personal API keys are capped near 10 calls a day. so the date is the one you give it.

does the 90 day warning land at the right time or is that too early

Big federal awards require the prime to have a small business subcontracting plan. Everyone knows that part.

What I didn't realise is the award record has an actual field for it, so you can filter for exactly the awards where a prime is on the hook to sub work out, instead of guessing.

I pulled the recent ones. 120 awards where that flag is set, out of about 500 I checked. The rest either don't require a plan, reported no subcontracting possibilities, or didn't report at all. The page shows you the ones it threw out and why, because the filtering is most of the value.

Free, updates daily, filter by NAICS and state.

Saying this plainly so nobody wastes their time: a subcontracting plan sets goals, it does not obligate any prime to hire you. It just tells you which ones have a reason to pick up the phone.

Shipped a security scanner for AI-built apps last week. You paste a URL and it tells you if a real API key ended up in your shipped JavaScript. That whole part is free with no signup, because a scanner nobody runs is worth nothing and a signup wall on a 20 second tool kills it.

The paid idea is the part I can't do passively. Checking whether your database tables are actually locked down means connecting to your database, which needs your permission and real work to build. So free does the frontend, paid would do the backend.

The risk I see is that free might be the whole product and nobody ever needs the paid half. Curious whether people here have made that split work, and where you drew the line.

One thing I'd do again: no AI in the detection. It's regex against the key formats vendors publish, so it can't hallucinate a finding, and that turned out to be the thing people actually cared about.

Link in the comments, it's free either way.

Here is the link ShipCheck — Is your AI-built app safe to ship? Please give me feedback on how I can make it better and if this is actually useful.

I made two Saas apps they are both pre-revenues, but I am looking to sell both of them. They are both listed on Side Projectors if you want to check it out. First one - Chatforge https://chatforge-app.vercel.app/ Second one - Ai Tools Hq https://aitoolshq.vercel.app/ you can check them out on Side Projectors if you want more information. Dm me if you're interested in buying them.

Have had a Substack newsletter about sports for a while but still can't seem to get any subscribers. Anyone knows any techniques to get more subscribers

eBay and Mercari are built for general resale and the experience for collectors is rough. Pre-launch on a marketplace specifically for action figures and comics:

• Real filters (scale, line, sealed/loose, grade)
• Lower fees than eBay
• Verified collector profiles

Just trying to gut-check before I keep building. If you collect what would actually pull you off eBay? And what would make you not even consider it?
