Exports to JSON for automated ennui.\n\n![Screenshot](./docs/hnjobs-0.1.0.gif)\n\nIt:\n1. Finds the latest Who's Hiring post and fetches / caches all job comments locally in sqlite.\n2. Scores job postings according to your criteria.\n3. Provides a TUI to help you review the jobs and track which ones are interesting / applied to / ruled out.\n\n## Installation\n```shell\ngo install github.com/mwinters0/hnjobs@latest\n```\n\nOr grab a binary from the [releases](https://github.com/mwinters0/hnjobs/releases)\n\n## Usage\nOn first run, a config file is created at `UserConfigDir/hnjobs/config.json`.  (On linux this is\n`~/.config/hnjobs/config.json`.)\n\n👉 **You should edit the config file**👈 before running any other commands, as this is\nwhere your scoring rules are stored.  Some samples rules are provided in the generated file.  Each rule is a\n[golang regex](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/syntax) which must be JSON escaped (`\\b` -\u003e `\\\\b`).\n\nAfter you've set up your rules, run `hnjobs` again and it will auto-fetch the most-recent job story, score the jobs by\nyour criteria, and show the TUI.\n\n### TUI bindings\n- Basics\n  - `ESC` - close dialogs\n  - `TAB` - switch focus (so you can scroll a long job listing if needed)\n  - `jk` and up/down arrows - scroll\n    - `g`, `G`, `Ctrl-d`, `Ctrl-u` - scroll harder \n  - `f` - fetch latest (only fetches new / TTL expired jobs, with default TTL of 1 day)\n  - `F` - force fetch all jobs (ignore TTL)\n  - `q` - quit\n- Job Filtering\n  - `r` - mark read / unread\n  - `x` - mark job uninterested (hidden) or interested (default)\n  - `p` - mark priority / not priority\n  - `a` - mark applied to / not applied to\n  - `s` - reload config file and re-score the jobs (useful if you've changed your rules)\n- Display\n  - `X` - toggle hiding of jobs marked uninterested\n  - `T` - toggle hiding of jobs below your score threshold (set in the config file)\n  - `m` - select month (if multiple in your DB) / delete old months\n\n### Commands\n```shell\nhnjobs # Works offline.\nhnjobs fetch # Just fetch, no TUI. Run this before hopping on a plane.\nhnjobs fetch -x # Fetch and set exit code according to results. 0 = new jobs available.\nhnjobs rescore # Re-score the cached jobs. Only needed if you've changed your rules.\nhnjobs dump # Dump the current month's data to JSON on stdout.\n```\n\n## Scoring rules FAQ\n- `text_missing` rules match if the regex fails.  Use this to influence the score if a word is missing from a listing.\n- `why` and `why_not` tags are optional.  I like to analyze my past decisions whenever I watch my credit score drop. \n🤷  These will become visible in the TUI eventually.\n- `colorize` is an optional boolean that defaults to `true`.  Set to `false` if you don't want this rule to be colorized in the display.\n\n## Styling\nIf you hate orange, you can edit your config file to use one of the built-in themes: `material` or\n`gruvbox[dark|light]\u003chard|soft\u003e` (example: `gruvboxdarkhard`).\n\nIf you want to take a crack at making your own, have a look at the default theme which is generated on first-run at\n`UserConfigDir/hnjobs/theme-default.json` (on linux: `~/.config/hnjobs/theme-default.json`).  You can either edit this\nor copy it to `theme-foo.json` and set your config's theme to `foo`.\n\n## Misc\nThe database is stored at `UserDataDir/hnjobs/hnjobs.sqlite` (on linux: `~/.local/share/hnjobs/hnjobs.sqlite`).  \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmwinters0%2Fhnjobs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmwinters0%2Fhnjobs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmwinters0%2Fhnjobs/lists"}
