The long pitch

The job search is the one thing we track in spreadsheets and apologize for tracking in spreadsheets. JobBored stops the apology. Point it at a Google Sheet and suddenly you have a kanban with fit scores, heat badges, a daily brief, ATS-parser-grade resume analysis, and an optional agent that scouts Workday and Ashby while you sleep. There's no backend. There's no vendor. There's no "sign up with Google." It's 18,000 lines of hand-rolled JS and CSS, deployable to anywhere that serves static files — and every action writes back to the Sheet in real time.

Five features. One sheet.

Sheet-native pipeline

Kanban that writes back to your Sheet.

Eight stages, priority badges, tags, and notes — all synced bidirectionally with the Google Sheet you already maintain.

ATS Scorecard

See your resume through the parser's eyes.

A local LLM (Gemini or Claude) scores requirements coverage, tone fit, and parseability. Flags gaps. Suggests before/after rewrites you can actually use.

Daily Brief

The follow-ups you'd otherwise forget.

Two-column executive view: what's due, who owes you a reply, what's gone cold. Built for the morning coffee.

Agentic Discovery

Your bot scouts while you sleep.

Webhook contract plugs into Browser Use, n8n, Apps Script, or GitHub Actions. Auto-fills the pipeline from SerpApi or grounded search. No brittle scraping.

Zero backend, forever

Static files. Your keys. Your data.

Drop it on GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare, or a USB stick. The optional Node helper runs locally for ATS scoring.
