The Take

Clean, focused take on the RailsDevs idea for the .NET community — profiles include visibility flags (Actively Looking/Open to Opportunities/Not Interested), links to GitHub/LinkedIn, and project entries, plus employer filters for seniority and contract vs full-time. It isn't reinventing hiring, but the use of ASP.NET MVC + HTMX and a recruiter-free pitch make it a practical, well-scoped niche product that actually solves the 'LinkedIn noise' problem for .NET folks.

Target Audience

.NET developers (C#/ASP.NET/Blazor/EF) and hiring companies/engineering managers looking for .NET talent

Post Description

I built a reverse job board for .NET developers, inspired by RailsDevs (which unfortunately shut down last year). Developers create profiles and companies browse and reach out directly.

Stack: .NET 10, ASP.NET MVC, a little HTMX, Azure SQL.

This is the first side project I've actually shipped and I'd love some feedback.

I built a semiconductor internship job board

This is a straightforward, tightly focused internship aggregator for chip design roles — listings from Intel, Qorvo and other known players make it immediately useful to EE/CE students. The signup-gated sidebar and basic filters show clear MVP thinking, but it's essentially a curated listings site; to become a go-to resource it needs stronger signals (company verification, normalized pay data, application workflow or campus integrations).
