Support

Stuck? Start here. And if you are new and not technical: theGetting Started guideneeds no terminal and no programming — that is the intended on-ramp.

Using JobFoundry

Docs first: this portal covers installation, the extension, architecture, providers, and privacy.
Ask the community: open a GitHub Discussion (Q&A) describing what you tried, what you expected, and what happened. Screenshots beat log pastes.
Found a bug? File a GitHub Issue with your install method (Docker, AppImage, MSIX, Homebrew/macOS), OS, browser, and reproduction steps.

!Keep secrets secret

Never share your .env file, API keys, or full resume in public threads. Maintainers will never ask for your keys.

Requesting a job board

Check the provider directory first. If your board is missing, file a provider request issue with a link to a sample public posting. Developers: theprovider authoring guidecovers the full process.

Coming from career-ops

Welcome — the tools are complementary. Bring your discoveries over with the import script (deduplication is automatic):

node scripts/import-career-ops.mjs --from /path/to/career-ops/data/pipeline.md

Security issues

Do not open a public issue. Email[email protected] or open aprivate security advisory.

Response expectations

JobFoundry is developed and maintained by a solo developer in my spare time. Triage order: security reports, data-loss bugs, broken installs, provider breakage, feature requests. If two weeks pass with no response, a polite bump is welcome — active progress is happening every day.

Supporting JobFoundry

JobFoundry is 100% free, local-first, and open-source (AGPL-3.0). If it has helped your job search, you can back independent development in three ways:

Star the repo: Helps more job seekers find the tool on GitHub.
Report bugs & feedback: Tell us what works and what broke so we can improve.
Sponsor on GitHub: Fund infrastructure and maintenance to keep JobFoundry ad-free and subscription-free for everyone.
