This doesn't work on large projects with multiple people involved. Can't go through hundreds of JS files and manually add every function to the linter's config.

What do you do when you have an old school application where JavaScript is written in non-modern style? For example, you have a.js and b.js. You define a function "hello" in a.js and use it in b.js. In the project, the developer assumes that the two files will be included in correct order within HTML. Linters fail here because they think b.js uses an undefined function, when it's actually defined. Unfortunately, since most JS linters only validate one file at a time, they are pretty much useless here.

There are already tons of ERPs and the space is crowded at this point.

One thing I have noticed is interaction during car servicing. When giving my car in for service, the person in charge at the car company usually has to call me on the phone and tell me to pick up the car. Perhaps this could be automated where the mechanic presses a button on his/her end and the car owner automatically gets a notification (via app?) to pick up the car.

Why do you think companies would drop their existing systems and use this?

Thank you! I think a lot of us try building something and hope to get people to use it, but not many succeed. Good job to you!

Thank you for the detailed answer. Final question on the second part: I was referring to the "Who is hiring?" threads for jobs. So the employers who are paying and posting on OGJ are essentially betting that their job postings will be seen by others, right? It doesn't look like they have any way of figuring out if anyone will see their job.

I don't mean to hint at anything, just trying to get a clear picture.

Thanks for this! 2 questions:

1. You are now making money off of it. So how is that working? Have you created a separate bank account and pushed all your revenue to that account, for the purpose of making filing taxes on it easier? Or did you go some other way?

2. How quickly were you able to solve the chicken and egg problem of getting employers to post and people to visit? Do employers know how many people view their listing? I'm having a hard time understanding why they would want to spend $50 on your site vs simply posting free of charge on HN and getting a pretty large audience.
