Thanks! I'm not sure how (or whether it's possible) to make any links clickable within the post text (mb using Markdown or something else?)

Thanks! That was definitely a big mistake - examples are on their way!

Will do! Thanks for taking time to check it out!

Thanks! We have it in a backlog, actually: import from XLS, Google Spreadsheets or custom URL.

When I was learning Basic in school, I wasn't really caring/realizing that all of the keywords can actually be translated to Russian, I was just learning them by heart like proper nouns. On the other hand, seeing languages with syntax in Russian (like the scripting language in 1C CRM) always makes me smile ("so ugly, unusual and funny").

Sir, your English is superior comparing to mine!

Fixed, thanks (btw, liked the way you put it).

If there's a language rule that says you can't combine these two this way, I'd be more than happy to learn about it. English is not my mother language so I apologize for any grammar/spelling mistakes in advance ;-)

Thanks, I've just fixed this bug.

Thanks a lot :-) I'm really thinking about redoing the video since more and more people say it's not informative at all.

I've been doing http://priceflurry.com for quite some time now (I posted about my progress on HN couple of times). It's a service where people can collaborate on prices and deals. It's finally getting some traction (not that big of, but who said it's going to be easy) and I'm really happy to see that :-)

While I agree with what is in the posts you provided (some of my friends actually don't post any pictures or "cat videos" on Facebook because they don't want their potential employers to see them from the "bad" side), I think you're maybe missing a point here. Haltura is meant to be used for one-time jobs only and so there's most likely no harm if your employer sees your drunk pictures on Facebook while he/she only needs you to cut his/her the grass in her garden.

Facebook authentication was made primarily for convenience and also to help preventing spam. But of course I might be wrong by exposing peoples' names and links to their Facebook profiles (e.g. I could also allow users to choose the username which will be displayed throughout the website). Thanks for the feedback, I will think about it!

Just to follow up (not sure anybody is reading this thread anymore though):

I've just rolled out Facebook sign in (only for those who'd like to post new jobs), manual moderation of all offers (say goodbye to "niggers" and "dicks") and email notifications (which might end up in your "Junk" folder so be sure to check it, will fix this a bit later).

Thank you all for you feedback and I hope Haltura is now more or less usable ;-)

Thank you all very much for your feedback. I've just updated the website with Facebook Sign In (which is mandatory if you want to post new job offer). This should filter out at least those not having fake Facebook profiles since your name and the URL to your profile are displayed under the job details page. I'm also working on pre-moderation and implementing email notifications (I will update the website within the next couple hours).

Again, thank you very much for all your valuable feedback.

The reason why I wasn't responding for 8 hours is that I felt asleep after I published the app (it was 3 a.m. here). Also, my previous posts didn't draw so much attention so I thought I'd better gather (and respond to) the feedback next morning rather than refreshing this page every 5 min.

I've deleted all the junk that was there before and I just updated the website with Facebook sign in (mandatory for those posting new jobs). This should filter out at least those not having fake FB profiles since your name (as well as the URL to your profile) is displayed under the job details. I'm also going to add pre-moderation and email notifications within the next couple hours.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm working on the moderation right now.

Regarding Craigslist and others: the idea behind Haltura is that it must be _extremely_ simple and easy to use and still provide some value to its users.

Thanks, fixing it right now...

Thanks for your input. I've corrected the language.

Thanks, I'm working on it.

Nope. Only here and I also shared the link w/ my friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Is it right after you submit a job offer you're trying to go back?

Thanks! Glad you've considered it.

Thanks a lot although it's mostly Bootstrap (I really wanted to keep the UI minimalistic so people can focus on content).

No, this is just something I decided to build on a weekend.

I decided to respond a bit alter because I'm implementing Facebook sign in (to limit the amount of spam a little bit) and email notifications. No need to be so rude.

Damn, I thought I checked all items within the last two days to ensure no duplicate will be posted...

Use this as a guideline: http://ycombinator.com/howtoapply.html

As a quick solution, you can combine Sieve with Twitter to RSS (http://www.twittertorss.com/)

Will do, thanks for noticing this.

Thanks a lot. Yes, we have a plan of pushing it locally first (because otherwise it was like we are trying to swallow a watermelon). We will hopefully start with it in October :-)
