Case Study
JobCRM
Kanban-style job application tracker with follow-up reminders and interview notes.
The Problem
Why this exists
Job hunting means juggling applications across LinkedIn, Indeed, company portals, and email. Spreadsheets get messy fast, follow-ups fall through the cracks, and interview notes end up in five different files. I built this because I was living the problem.
How It Works
From input to outcome
Log the application
Add company, role, link, and notes. The card lands in "Saved" automatically.
Drag through stages
Move cards forward as you progress. Each stage transition logs the date so you can see how long things take.
Set follow-ups
Reminders for checking in after applications or interviews. No more realizing a week later you forgot to follow up.
Technical Decisions
Why build it this way
Kanban not list
A linear list doesn't capture pipeline stage at a glance. Kanban columns match how you actually think about your job search pipeline — no learning curve if you've used Trello or Linear.
No auth, single user
This is a personal tool. Adding user accounts would triple the complexity for zero benefit. If someone else wants to use it, they can clone the repo.
