JobRequester is a Chrome extension and web app for job seekers on unemployment benefits: one click saves any job posting as an application and as a dated work-search contact, counts the week's contacts against your claim, and fills your state's weekly-claim form for you — all 50 states and DC. It also captures salary data, tracks interviews, and shows which job boards actually convert, so the log that keeps your benefits safe doubles as the tracker that lands the next job.

Could you build this?
Partial The Chrome extension, tracker UI, and weekly-claim form filling are standard web work a vibe-coder can build. The hard part is accurate, maintained per-state form logic for all 50 states and DC, which requires legal and regulatory knowledge plus ongoing updates when agencies change their systems.
What it would actually take: Stack would be a Chrome extension (Manifest V3) with a web app backend, a database for applications and contacts, and a per-state rules/form-mapping layer. The hard piece is collecting and verifying each state's weekly-claim requirements and form structure, then keeping them current as portals change. Building it well needs someone with unemployment-insurance domain knowledge and a process for monitoring state changes, plus legal review of the auto-fill behavior.
