Update [12 nov, 2024]: Since launching, we've acquired SvelteJobs.com and rebranded SvelteCareers to SvelteJobs. The mission remains the same - connecting Svelte developers with great opportunities.
This week, Budi and I launched SvelteCareers, a job site dedicated to Svelte(Kit) developers.
Reconnecting with Budi after so many years has been a joy. We initially worked together at Heroic, where he taught me everything about internet marketing.
After Heroic I continued building my skills as a developer and founder, diving deep into frameworks like Svelte and Next.js. When Budi reached out about his newfound interest in coding and Svelte, it was clear we had a promising opportunity to collaborate once again.
Mentoring Budi on this project was an incredible experience. Despite having started programming just over a year ago, Budi's passion and quick learning were impressive. Guiding him through the development process, from brainstorming ideas to the actual coding, was both challenging and rewarding. It reminded me of my early days and reignited my passion for teaching.
SvelteCareers was born out of our mutual love for the Svelte ecosystem and a recognition of its growing adoption in the developer community. The job market for Svelte is still small, but it's expanding as more companies recognize its potential. With my marketing and full stack background, and Budi's experience with building and exiting a succesfull job board (MusicCareers), we knew we had the right combination of skills to make this project a success.
Now that the MVP is launched, our next steps involve marketing and introducing paid featured posts. We're trying to be careful though. This is very much an SEO play and patience is key.
I'm excited about the future of SvelteCareers and proud of what Budi and I have achieved together. For those in the dev community looking for new opportunities, I invite you to check out our site. It's a great time to be part of the Svelte movement, and I look forward to seeing where this journey takes us.
