truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
Awesome! Which company is this? I grew up in Zambia :)
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
ah right, stock images :) and im not much of a designer, but will look into this
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
Good point, yeah ill add this to the to-do list to figure out how best to do this
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa

Great idea! Just added that as an "Employment type". And i regards to why LaunchAfrica as opposed to Angelist? Well firstly your point - the shitty interface and how they push for you to sign up and stuff like that. It is also full of other stuff and I prefer something straight to the point. Also i think its always better to focus (on Africa). I am also still trying to figure out more features that could make it stand out.
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
Yep, they are there as 2 countries: Sudan and South Sudan. I think those are the official names.
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
Design is not my forte, but eventually I will figure out something. But yes I agree with this.
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
During my research phase, I was looking at job posts (in africa) on other sites and hardly any would post salaries. And also in general, most job sites dont show salaries. But a few people have asked for this and it would make sense even if just a few companies would make them available.
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
Awesome! thanks, much appreciated as I am trying to get some good traction.
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
That is right, its free to post for now. Limited time offer, then I plan on monetizing more with additional features such as "featuring" or so. Dont want to to be so expensive like a lot of these jobboards that i feel overcharge. Basically I need enough to pay the bills :)

But lets see what happens. Just need to continue gaining traction and figure that all out.

truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
Especially on how to market it/gain traction/get noticed.
truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa
Good points, I shall look into this! May also go with the good old pagination with numbers.

Can be good learning experience with client-side caching :)

truetaurus··on Show HN: LaunchAfrica – Find startup and tech jobs in Africa

truetaurus··on Ask HN: How do you keep track and organize your life?
Ah yes Bear seems pretty cool but really only for apple so is quite annoying
truetaurus··on Ask HN: How do you keep track and organize your life?
Also what about any random thoughts, ideas, notes you have?
truetaurus··on Ask HN: How do you keep track and organize your life?
Do you organize stuff into different categories (can trello do that?)? Like home, work, hobbies, investigations, etc

Or is that something you dont really need to do?

truetaurus··on Feature request for HN: Make it easier to see new comments on popular posts
Just thought that would be a great idea for a chrome plugin for anyone looking to build something ;) Sorting or highlighting somehow
