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).
