I am in the process of moving to the Bay area from SoCal (Irvine). My situation is "special" as I will be living on savings for the next 6-12 months to focus on my ventures. My moving date is set to June 1.

I do not have a job secured there (that's not why I am moving). I just need your advices on locations, apartments, and any other resources you could recommend me.

Thank you in advance for all your help!

Hey Everyone!

Currently working on a job board concept that aim to simply recruitment with extremely well organized niche websites. I know Revolutionizing Recruitment is quite a challenge that many tried to achieve but failed. I am willing to take on that challenge.

I did some recruitment in the past: the posting part on behalf of my HR and interviewing, etc, mostly construction related as well as in IT. Also dealt with headhunters. Recruiting very specialized candidate can take weeks if not more.

From what I've seen, believe or not, hiring can get quite messy (specially for startups or small businesses).

Beside a simple and straight-forward design and UI, I was thinking of pre-populating the job description for particular position (based on the box you check) and more features that aim to help you gain time when recruiting.

As a recruiter, what are the major challenges that you would like (us) to resolve? I would love to have the prospective job-seeker answer this question as well: What is you main pain when trying to look for a job?

Note: I do not intend to store candidates data on our databases.

Also partnerships are always welcome. The sites will be released by the end of September.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there!

We just released a new website called thinktutorial.com. The goal of the simple website is to provide users with extremely simplified tutorials, and straight to the point.

The main intend is to provide a simple reference for everyone to link to. Let me explain: If a co-worker or family member ask you an IT questions, you usually just say "google it!". Now, you can provide an actual link with free content: ThinkTutorial.com.

The tutorials there do not include programming/photoshop tutorials (yet). Let us know what is missing, what needs to be added, what tutorials would you like to see there ?

The idea of thinktutorial is to genuinely help and provide value.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hey HN,

Been following HN for more than a year now, and I am completely addicted. I love how like-minded we are in trying to resolve/help each others, from technical, business or even personal side.

I have a new venture that we are currently launching called WebtoSmartphone.com. It's still in the early stage (on production site), and we have been working on this for quite some times now. No VC/Seed funding, just bootstrapping aside of fulltime jobs + Ramen diet :) It's doing a pretty good job converting most of the websites we own (in our network).

I had the idea for the service based on the need of my firm to convert existing websites to mobile and keeping the mobile site as authentic as possible to the actual website, not a wap-looking site, and hassle-free. There was and is many options on the market and we can see in the near future more and more of those options. Our humble goal is to provide a service that is affordable, pleasant and easy to use and that constantly synchronize your website with the mobile site without having to keep or host two separate versions. This is why we went for "on-the-fly" conversion.

It was a technological challenge, but our developers (Kudos to Gero and Adrian!) did a fantastic job in helping us achieving our challenges.

I (we) need your help to review the following aspects:

1. What do you think of the idea.

2. What do you think of the landing page

3. What do you think of the checkout page

4. What do you think of the process in general

5. Most important is: What can we do better?

There is still work ahead of us in keeping up with the technical optimization side: development, improving conversion speed and Business side: Sales, Marketing, (By the way we are looking for white label partners, so if you are interested for that or just connect with us (we are socal based), please drop us a line to hello@mobileappamerica.com, subject HN :))

This is my first time actually using "Ask HN", all your positives ideas and feedbacks are highly welcomed! We want to create a product that fits YOUR mobile needs.

Thank you in advance.
