I've created Tap Apply - https://tapapply.net/, that will help you with your job search.

When I've been looking for jobs, it's extremely tiring applying similar job applications over and over again. Filling in my name, occupation, experience, education over and over and over again is not only tedious but also a massive waste of time that could be better spent preparing for interviews or improving skills.

Then there are also questions like "Why do you want to work in our company?" and so on. Like man you're hiring and I need a new job, that's why?

So I created Tap Apply - a simple browser extension that will reduce your job search headache in 2 ways: 1. You can forget about filling in same job forms over and over again. Just click on the autofill button and the extension will to the rest automatically.

2. Then, for cover letters or custom job application questions you can use Tap Apply's AI feature. With a click of a button it will generate a compelling answer to any question on the job form, taking into account the job description itself and your resume (Tap Apply profile).

This way, you can save hours applying to jobs or even apply to more if you wish :)

Would love to hear your feedback!

Click login, get sent an email link that you have to first wait to be delivered (sometimes takes a full minute, sometimes you have to resend the link).

Sometimes the link goes to spam, sometimes you have to search for it like a needle in a haystack of other notifications.

Sometimes you are not logged into your email on that device, or it's a small screen that makes it a pain.

Maybe it's my mother, and she now has to go find where she wrote down her email password because she still can't figure out that 1Password thing I setup for her. Also, she does not have 1Password on this computer (maybe it's a public library).

All this pain because a developer did not want to bother with authentication.

Many, many products are like this nowadays, but the worst offenders are developer tools and OSS projects, and looks like the justification is just that, they just wanted to scratch their itch of a specific feature, why bother with auth when there is google.

Am I crazy?

Hi HN,

I've been thinking about Paul Graham's idea of Twitter as a communication protocol https://www.paulgraham.com/twitter.html and wanted to experiment with a different kind: location-based chat.

I built Pintalk: https://pintalk.onrender.com

It's a simple web app that lets anyone start or join public text conversations tied to specific latitude/longitude coordinates on a map.

How it works:

Visit the site – the map tries to center near you using browser geolocation or falls back to IP lookup.

Click anywhere on the map to open a chat panel for that location.

Type your first message and hit send – this creates a persistent pin and conversation room at that spot.

Click an existing pin to view the conversation and join in.

No login or registration required. You get assigned a temporary username like User_1234. Messages and pins currently stay indefinitely.

The goal was minimal time-to-value – just click and chat. It's an experiment in discovering real-time, hyperlocal public discussions. What happens when conversations are anchored to places?

Tech: Node.js/Express, WebSockets, MongoDB/Mongoose, and Leaflet.js on the frontend. Deployed on Render.

It's basic right now but functional. I'd love to get your feedback, bug reports, or thoughts on the concept.

Try it out: https://pintalk.onrender.com

Thanks!
