A practical web app to keep track of your job applications, recording interview dates, offering easy access to various bits of information and letting you monitor the state of your job-finding efforts.

The api backend is based on Express.js (on Node), using Sequelize to interface with a PostgreSQL db.

The frontend is build with Angular, and the code is found in the client/ folder.

Ensure a PostgreSQL server is running and a database is set up with the appropriate structure, either according to environment variables (or .env configuration), or with username and db name equal to testdb for testing (see src/config/db.config.ts).

To set up such a database, assuming a typical Unix postgresql installation, you can run these commands as the user with database admin access (usually postgres) (eg, by sudo -iu postgres):

createuser -d testdb
createdb -O testdb testdb

After installing all dependencies (npm i; cd client; npm i; cd ..;), start the backend in dev mode with npm run dev, it will serve api requests at localhost:8080; you can then fire up the frontend by moving to the client directory and running ng serve -o (requires Angular CLI, run npm install -g @angular/cli to install it system-wide).

Try out the app by registering new users, adding job applications and recording interviews for them!
