CareerBoard

CareerBoard is a multi-tenant collaborative job-search workspace for career groups. Owners and admins invite members, members manage their own applications, and the whole team can collaborate through comments, activity history, interviews, and analytics.

Collaborative job-search workspace for career groups: track applications, interviews, team activity, and shared job-search intelligence.

Included

• Password authentication with expiring, revocable signed tokens
• Owner/admin/member authorization checked against team membership on every route
• Relational SQLite model: users, teams, memberships, invitations, companies, jobs, applications, comments, interviews, activity, and analytics events
• JSON API for collaboration, applications, comments, interviews, health, readiness, and analytics
• Durable SQLite job queue with an in-process worker for in-app comment and interview notifications
• Security headers, request-size limits, rate limiting, validation, and structured error logging
• GitHub Actions CI for checks, tests, dependency audit, and Docker builds
• Docker deployment configuration with /api/health and /api/ready probes
• Product UI with a persistent search/team shell, application board, detail workspaces, activity, notifications, people, companies, analytics, onboarding, shortcuts, themes, and mobile navigation

Run locally

npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm start

Open http://localhost:3000. For production, set a strong JWT_SECRET, put SQLite on a persistent volume, and monitor /api/health and /api/ready. The event table is intentionally simple so it can later be replaced with PostHog or another analytics provider without changing the UI contract.

Live demo

Open the static GitHub Pages demo to explore the CareerBoard interface with realistic fake data. It is a presentation demo and does not write to the application database.

For the full local read/write demo, start the app and open the local demo. One click provisions a realistic workspace called The Next Chapter with 12 members, 47 applications, 18 companies, 9 interviews, and 2 offers.

The demo is deterministic and safe to run repeatedly. It uses local @careerboard.local accounts and does not require an email inbox. For a fresh database, the same flow is available from the Explore the live demo button on the sign-in screen.
