How I built and launched a job board for AI in 2 hours
On December 29th, 2023, I had an idea to build a site for jobs in AI. Just like my other projects, I wanted to quickly test the idea before over-engineering it. So, I treated myself to a little challenge — building and launching the project in 2 hours. To hold me accountable, I tweeted the challenge on my Twitter along with the idea.

With the time constraint in mind, I selected a handful of AI companies to curate the jobs from such as OpenAI, StabilityAI, ScaleAI, etc.
I built a scraper in NodeJS to scrape the listings and then save all the scraped jobs to a Postgres database hosted in Supabase.
I chose Nextjs for the app because it ships so many features out of the box that can cater to a full-fledged job board. I’ll go through each feature one by one in this post.
