Cholloempleo.com: community-ranked job discovery
Community job platform with authenticated voting, ranking views, and automated activity support.
Step 01
Problem
Relevant job opportunities were often buried in traditional portals without quality context.
Step 02
Context and constraints
Founder-built product using React, Express, PostgreSQL, and Railway deployment workflows.
Role: Technical founder handling product architecture, backend API, SEO operations, and roadmap execution.
Step 03
Key decisions
- Hot/New/Top discovery model to surface jobs through community signals.
- Authenticated voting to improve trust in ranking quality.
- Dedicated cron-based activity seeding in early-stage lifecycle.
Step 04
Outcomes
- Deployed and operational domain with integrated job + community core.
- Multi-service Railway architecture separating web app and cron processes.
- Clear API base for future feature expansion.
Metrics
- Three ranking views in production: Hot, New, and Top.
- Dedicated cron service for recurring community activity seeding.
- Operational API endpoints for offers, votes, and offer details.
Step 05
Learnings and next improvement
Learnings
- Discovery products need trust signals, not only content volume.
- Early cron/ops separation reduces maintenance friction as complexity grows.
Step 06
Visual resources
Stock visuals are active to keep layouts stable. You can replace them later from `src/lib/site.ts` or per-project content.
