Job Application Tracker

September 08, 2026

In my jaunt down learning React (enough to build something small, at least) and writing some fun Java, I made a job application tracker SPA (single page application).

In order to add some light-heartedness into an otherwise potentially dreary process, the Home page is filled with Dad jokes.

It’s pretty lightweight, since there’s only a few features (dashboard, adding entry, inline-editing for each record’s Status and Note). Each application Status is color-coded.

For convenience, I’ve added several options to run it as a single packaged app or in dev mode. You can run it using bash, PowerShell, or separately in 2 terminals.

The minimum requirement is Java 21+.

You can find the repo on my GitHub.

Hope you find it useful!
