Developer juggling 40+ job applications loses track of half

A software developer says they applied to more than 40 jobs in recent weeks across LinkedIn and Naukri but lost track of half of them, highlighting how chaotic the job hunt has become for tech workers. They built or shared a tool called ShortList to help applicants organise applications, and fellow developers discussing web development, productivity and open source have been engaging with the approach.
Why now: Job-hunting frustration in tech is high right now, and an open source tool for tracking applications resonates with developers in the same position.
