I’ve been building JobTrackr, a job application tracker that helps people organise their whole job search in one place.
One of my recent additions is Insights, a private product analytics dashboard. I wanted to go beyond counting sign-ups and understand whether people were actually getting value from the product.
I set a few rules for it:
- Every metric comes from read-only database queries.
- Anything that isn’t measured shows as “Not tracked”, never zero.
- Activity counts things people saved, not page visits.
The early numbers:
- 59 registered accounts
- 152 tracked applications
- A 27.1% activation rate
- A median of 5 minutes from sign-up to first application, for accounts that start
- Job URL extraction: 11 attempts, all with usable results, and 5 became saved applications
The takeaway is that people who start, start quickly. The work now is helping the other 73% take that first step. Instead of just adding features, I’m using these numbers to find where people get stuck.
It’s been a good chance to work across product design, frontend engineering, backend integrations and product analytics, and to see how those decisions hold up with real users.

Still improving it based on what I learn. If you’re job hunting, I’d love your feedback.
glad we could have a collaboration on this

For startups, converting users is extremely crucial.
You might have 3~5 seconds to get the user's attention, so it's very important how the design looks and feels.

Nice work
A live web app that maps 195 Marvel films and series across 24 universes into one tree, in story order. I designed it so a newcomer can see where to start within seconds: one clear tree, Ctrl+K search, and watch tracking that syncs with Google sign-in. Built with plain JavaScript and Firebase. No ads, no trackers.
Showing a newcomer where to start in seconds is the right goal for a tree this big. How did you decide what to show first and what to hide until someone searches?
