[feature request] Interested button, with optional message.

[trusktr]

Similar to angel.co, maybe you can put a button on Job listing that says "Interested" that will notify the job poster. An optional message could be included by the person clicking on "interested" which will be given to the job poster in the notification.

The same could apply in the other direction for developer listings.

Additionally, notifications can also be sent via email.

i like this

thinking it should just be a simple one-sided action - send an email message to the target user with the sending users message and contact info

• target user can contact sender if desired

any user with a developer profile can be 'interested' in a job

any user can be 'interested' in a developer profile - thinking they don't need to have an active job post in case they just want to target one or more profiles rather than publicly posting

Ooh, I might be willing to take a crack at this one if it's still a feature people want

[nate-strauser]

I still think it's a good feature. More than willing to review and accept a PR for it.

Started digging into it a bit. Do you think 'interests' should be represented/tracked on the db side at all, or just kick off an email to the relevant parties?

[nate-strauser]

I think it should be tracked on the user's who is interested - eg add

interestedInJobIds:{

type:[String],

optional:true

}

and

interestedInProfileIds:{

type:[String],

optional:true

}

here https://github.com/nate-strauser/wework/blob/master/both/collections/users.js#L51

so that the user's object has 2 top level properties - one for jobs and one for profiles

I like that. Will try to take a crack at it after thanksgiving

EDIT: Actually, ended up staying up and knocking it out for jobs tonight. Pull req'd.
