Description
Author here. Got tired of checking Upwork, NoFluffJobs, eFinancialCareers, LinkedIn and HN threads separately, so I built a CLI that scrapes them into a local SQLite DB and lets me browse everything in one web UI with filters and semantic search.Details:- Scraping via real browser over CDP (your own logged-in session, no API keys)- Embeddings run locally (nomic-embed-text via fastembed), stored in Lance- Rust backend, SolidJS frontend embedded in binary, single static executableWorks for my use case (Europe-based contractor). It's my first rust project, decided to do local CLI, it's helpful for me (more providers will be added, feel free to contribute).

Could you build this?
Yes It is a CLI scraper using Puppeteer/Playwright over Chrome DevTools Protocol that dumps listings into SQLite and presents them in a local web view with embeddings.
