RemoteTrends is an open-source project that scrapes LinkedIn remote job posting counts by technology and country, displaying the data on an interactive world map. It's interesting because it provides a repeatable, version-controlled dataset and a full-stack pipeline including a scraper, API, and React frontend, enabling cross-country job market comparisons. The project's collaborative approach to monthly snapshots and its transparent methodology for handling LinkedIn's anti-scraping measures add practical value for job seekers and researchers.
Target audience: job seekers, data engineers, researchers
