Last year I was looking for a new role. I sent out applications, did the prep, waited. What came back was mostly nothing. Not rejection emails, just silence. The job listings I'd applied to stayed live for weeks. Some for months.

As a software engineer, I decided to dig into it properly. I built a system to continuously track job postings across companies, logging posting dates and measuring how long roles stay open before closing or don't. After 35,000+ listings across 200+ companies, some patterns are hard to ignore. Some listings have been open for 700+ days at companies you'd recognize. Others post 90% of their open roles within a single month, a signal that's harder to fake than a press release.

I published two initial insight pages based on this work: - Which companies are posting most aggressively right now - Job listings that have been open for over a year

What I didn't expect is that the same signals useful for detecting ghost jobs also say something broader about a company's hiring momentum, recruiting intensity, pipeline health, where talent bottlenecks might exist. I'm not sure yet where this leads, but I'll keep expanding the dataset and publishing more insights as I go.

Would genuinely love feedback on the methodology, interpretation, or obvious blind spots in the data.

mpvc has been my daily music player since COVID years, I started getting involved and forked lwillets/mpvc around 2022, as the uses of mpvc have evolved I've tried group specific functionalities under its own separate tools, so for example now there is: mpvc for the CLI, mpvc-tui for a minimal text user interface (TUI), mpvc-web for a web-based interface, and mpvc-fzf for fzf integration for searching and playing music from online streaming services, among others.

PS: The project has appeared before in Show HN, in 2022, and a year later, since the project has continued, and the Show HN was useful in raising discussion and providing feedback, I'm posting it again.

tl;dr I was having a hard time researching votes for my representatives in Congress and decided to build a tool that aggregated the data into a view that was easy for me to parse.

With midterms coming up, I am trying to do my due diligence of researching my representatives in Congress to see whether their votes aligned with their public statements.

https://www.congress.gov actually has a list of all the votes if you search by congressperson. It was difficult for me to parse each individual vote out of the UI though due to all the unfilterable noise. In my opinion, the layout isn't really the best either. There are other aggregators out there like govtrack.us but none that I found which had a comprehensive list of every vote.

Luckily, I discovered that congress.gov makes the voting data readily available via an API. Unfortunately, it's only available for members in the House of Representatives. I had to use an alternate library for the Senate. Once I had all the data together, I was able to mangle it into a shape that made it much easier for me to parse through.

In order to make it easier to compare votes with my own views, I also made a "Vote Match" feature. This feature randomly displays various bills which lets me flip through them and think about how I would vote on them whenever I have a spare moment. Then, I can scroll through my representatives' pages and do a line by line comparison. Where we differ, I can further research to figure out reasons why my representative might have voted differently. I figured the tool would be useful to other US voters too so decided to make it public.

I also tried my best to make it as privacy oriented as possible. All pages are statically generated and the "Vote Match" feature saves everything in your browser's local storage. The address form is just a convenience feature that redirects to https://geocoding.geo.census.gov. However, I've included manual steps on how to find your district too.

Data shows that voting turn out is usually lower during a midterm election so I also tried to bake in a fun, easy way to share and encourage people in your life to vote. My inspiration here was Wordle's result sharing after you do the daily solve. There's a button on each representative's page that generates an image card of your vote match percentage that you can copy and share.

Any feedback is very much welcome. I'll also take any other tips and tricks you might have for researching to become a more informed voter.
