[ look at report ] You track them in a spreadsheet that becomes unmanageable. You lose track of which version of your resume you sent where. You forget to follow up. You don't know if 3 weeks of silence is normal or if you should move on.
Underneath all of that, there's the emotional weight, rejection, and ghosting.
JobApp started [ report? ] Not just a database — but something that notices patterns, surfaces insights, and keeps you motivated when the process gets tough.
I wanted to build something that also respects privacy (with your data stays on your machine), gives you genuinely useful intelligence (not just charts for the sake of charts), and connects you with a community of people who understand what you're going through.
JobApp is a desktop application built with C++ and Qt, with a 3-layer intelligence engine (rules, scoring, and machine learning), a community platform on Discord, and a server infrastructure for optional anonymous data sharing. It's a full-stack project that spans:
Frontend: Qt/C++ desktop UI with custom styling, celebration overlays, streak tracking, badge system, and an insights dashboard.
Intelligence: Feature extraction, labeling, training, and scoring pipeline. Local ML model that learns from your personal history. Global model from anonymous community data.
Backend: FastAPI server with license management, device binding, anonymous aggregation, update distribution, Discord integration, and payment processing.
Community: [Discord bot for key management and data visualization. Community pool for key gifting. Shared insights and benchmarks.]
[ think about later ]JobApp is a personal project — built from scratch, every line of code, design decision, and pixel.
This project is also a portfolio piece. It demonstrates skills across the full stack: system design, data engineering, machine learning, desktop application development, server infrastructure, community building, and product thinking. (somewhere hire me please) But more than that, it's something I'm proud of because it started from a real problem and grew into something I believe can help people.
If you want to chat about the project, the tech behind it, or just want to say hi — Feel free to contact me anytime.
JobApp is a solo project built with a lot of... coffee. If it's helped or if you want to support my endeavor, a coffee goes a long way! 😀
Buy Me a Coffee ☕Regardless, the use alone of JobApp and telling someone about it is the best support I receive, and it means a lot, thank you.
