ApplyTrack

A full-stack job-application tracker with real accounts, live job search, and a status pipeline, built on React/TypeScript/Supabase with a lightweight Node API.

The problem

Job seekers juggle applications across spreadsheets and browser tabs. ApplyTrack centralizes live job discovery and application tracking in one authenticated dashboard.

What it does

  • Real accounts via Supabase Auth.
  • Tracks company, role, location, source, link, and notes, with filtering and editing.
  • Status pipeline: saved → applied → interview → offer → rejected → archived.
  • Live job search pulls Adzuna listings through a server-side proxy (key off the client) and saves them into the tracker.

how it fits together

ApplyTrack · architecture

Full-stack job tracker with a credentials-safe proxy

Real accounts and live job search in one dashboard, with API keys kept on the server, never the client.

  1. Job seeker (client)
    React 19 · TypeScript · Vite. Tracker UI plus funnel analytics.
  2. Supabase
    auth / CRUD · Auth + Postgres with row-level security (per-user isolation).
    Express proxy → Adzuna
    /api/jobs · live listings fetched server-side so the API key never reaches the browser.
    Optional Claude parsing
    /api/parse · paste a resume / job post → structured fields (gated on an optional key; degrades gracefully).
React 19 · TypeScript · Vite · Supabase (Auth + Postgres RLS) · Express · Adzuna · Claude

product screens

Sign-in: real accounts backed by Supabase Auth.
Dashboard: live Adzuna job search and the application tracker in one place.
Tracker: applications moving through the saved → applied → interview → offer pipeline.

key engineering decisions

Credentials stay server-side

Live job search is proxied through Express so the Adzuna API key is never exposed to the browser.

Row-level-secured persistence

Application data is persisted in Supabase Postgres with row-level security, so each user only sees their own records.

results & outcomes

  • One system for both job discovery and tracking, built for real daily use.
  • Authenticated, persistent, multi-user data with a clear status pipeline.
