Here's one -> take a job post and turn it into "must haves" for the position. Here's what it would take:

0) Get a website URL & Job keyword

1) Build a web crawler

2) Given the Job site URL, user web crawler to go to website

3) Given the Job keyword, enter it into the URL's search box

4) Do the search

5) Return the first result

6) Parse it into key needs for that position

7) Store it into a DB

8) Do this again for the first 10 and then 100 jobs

9) Distill all the key skills

10) Produce a web report for jobsite URL + job keyword

I would like to receive an email every time someone writes a post on hacker news that matches the following expression ((software OR startup) AND (price, pricing, "how much can")). That would be awesome. If you let other users create their own expressions, they might like it too.

a web mashup site for job sites to collect remote development jobs only all in one place: includes jobs in stackexchange, we workremotelly, github, etc. It also allows to post new jobs directly.
