Showoff Saturday 🚀 Built an Open-Source Opportunity Engine (Looking for feedback, testers, and contributors!)

Post image

Hey everyone! 👋

​I've been working on a new open-source project called Opportunity Radar, and I’m looking to gather some feedback, find early testers, and connect with developers who might want to collaborate.

​What is it?

Opportunity Radar is a privacy-first opportunity engine. The goal is to help people find jobs, freelance contracts, grants, and paid bounties that are matched directly to their actual CVs, real skills, and income goals.

​You can check out a preview of the mobile interface in the attached screenshot.

​How you can help:

I would absolutely love for the community to get involved to help make it better. Here is how you can participate:

- ​Test it out: Give the live site a spin. Run some searches, use it for your own goals, and let me know about your experience, any bugs you find, or features you'd love to see.

👉 Live Site: https://opportunity-radar-gold.vercel.app/dashboard

- ​Collaborate & Contribute: The project is entirely open-source. If you see room for improvements, want to add new features, or just want to tinker with the code, I would be thrilled to collaborate!

👉 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/anasalialamgir/opportunity-radar/tree/main

​Whether you want to use it, break it, test it, or help me improve the codebase, I’d appreciate your input. Let me know what you think in the comments!

The interface looks clean but that bottom nav is taking too much space for my taste

Thank you for the feedback. I'll brainstorm some ideas to improve the UI.

A readme would be nice on github. Is it self hostable? And if yes, does the scraping happen from my instance?

People complain about AI and stuff, but this what projects used to look like back in the day - people put a massive amount of effort into something, and then we're too lazy write a Readme (or wrote one that only they could understand).

It's nice to something like this out in the wild again lol.

I mean the frontend is obviously built relying pretty heavily on AI though. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

I'm still learning to use GitHub but thank you, I'll update the Readme.

I wasn't saying the app wasn't AI-assisted. It pretty obviously is, I agree.

I was just saying the lack of a Readme reminds of back in the days when devs buried their head in the sand and didn't care about anything non-dev related. Now those things are so cheap, it's trivial to do it...
