Project principles

Small by design.
Serious in practice.

The project favours understandable systems and considerate defaults over growth mechanics, mandatory profiles, and unnecessary data collection.

Local first

Categories, locations, moderation, and language are shaped around the Okanagan's actual employment community.

Low friction

People can browse and post without creating an account. A one-time management token keeps listing control private.

Human moderation

Submissions wait in a moderation queue by default. Rate limits and a honeypot reduce noise without replacing judgment.

Portable operations

A static React build and compact PHP API run on ordinary shared hosting, with SQLite available for local development.

How it works

One clear path from post to discovery.

No profile funnel. No application tracking. No hidden publishing state.

1
Submit
An employer adds a listing and receives a private management token.
2
Review
The listing enters a human moderation queue before publication.
3
Publish
Approval starts the listing lifetime and makes the job publicly searchable.
4
Maintain
The poster can close or remove the listing; moderators can renew or feature it.

Architecture

A modern interface on durable infrastructure.

Each layer has a narrow job. The result is easy to inspect locally and practical to host without a persistent Node server.

Community utility

A job board can be modest infrastructure—and still be thoughtfully built.
