career-ops
Open-source AI job search agent and job finder: scan job boards, score each job 1-5 against your CV before you apply, tailor an ATS-friendly resume and cover letter, get interview prep and a job application tracker. It helps you fill in each application; you press Submit. Runs locally in your AI coding CLI (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and more). (by career-ops-hq)
Project mention: Get a Mac notification when a Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby job is posted | dev.to | 2026-10-07Once I have a link I use career-ops. It scores the role and drafts the resume. It has the capability to search for jobs for me, but it doesn't always identify the best fits and it also only runs when I tell it to. I built job-alerts for the step before that: a Mac notification when one of those companies posts something new so that I can apply as soon as a new vacancy drops.

bookmarks
:warning: Mirrored from https://gitea.zoemp.be/sansguidon/bookmarks ! :bookmark: +5K awesome resources for geeks and software crafters :beer: (by SansGuidon)
I still need to go back working on https://www.cinekids.info/ , a tool I made for myself to use before showing any movie to my 4 years old kiddo. It scrapes reviews from some parent friendly movie reviews websites and aggregates them.
I'm also automating more stuff around bookmarks management -> I used to manage an awesome list as a repository on GitHub for myself and over a couple of years there are relatively many stars on this repository. However I lost interest in maintaining this repo manually as I prefer to save my bookmarks on Shaarli. I'm coding a CLI tool to automate the work of syncing my shaarli links to my public "popular" (+500 stars) repo at https://github.com/SansGuidon/bookmarks
Myself and other users complain a lot about the "native" Plex -> Ombi watchlist integration being broken, I coded some sync tool to workaround the app malfunctions, by using Ombi, Plex and TMDB (The Movie Database) APIs and ensure Ombi is always up-to-date based on Plex watchlist. This works very well and allowed me to put a stop to the complains from my family members :-D
I'm also automating most of my email/linkedin interactions thanks to userscripts.
