JobTrackr

Designed and built a personal product to track job applications, stages, follow-ups, and progress without falling back to spreadsheets.

Problem

Most job trackers I tried were either too shallow or hid useful features behind a paywall, so I built the tool I actually wanted to use.

Solution

Created a React and Supabase app with authentication, a status pipeline, reminders, notes, filters, and a simple dashboard.
