StackCheck queries live job postings to show real tech skill demand and salary distributions. Instead of relying on annual surveys or paywalled aggregators, it runs locally on your machine and stores everything in a local SQLite database. The parser weights skills by where they appear in a job description, filtering out incidental mentions. Built with Python, Streamlit, and SQLite, it also ships as a standalone binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows without external dependencies.

Could you build this?
Partial Running a local SQLite and parser UI is simple, but reliably scraping, cleaning, and normalizing massive volumes of live tech job postings without getting blocked is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves a local CLI/desktop app (Electron or Python/Tauri) coupled with scrapers targeting platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, or Greenhouse/Lever boards. The difficult part is developing resilient scrapers that bypass anti-bot protections (Cloudflare, CAPTCHAs) and building a specialized NLP/regex parser that can accurately disambiguate skills (e.g., 'Go' the language vs 'go' the verb) and extract varied salary formatting across messy unstructured text.
