Hey HN,
I built JournalistDB (journalistdb.com) to solve a problem I kept running into: finding the right journalist to pitch a story to is surprisingly hard.
PR folks, founders doing their own outreach, and researchers all need to find journalists by beat, publication, or location.
Existing tools are either expensive, outdated, or built for enterprise teams with bloated feature sets.
JournalistDB is a searchable database that lets you:
Find journalists by topic, outlet, or geography
See what they've been covering recently
Get contact info so you can actually reach them
It's free to get started. I'd love feedback on the search quality, data freshness, and anything that feels broken or missing.

Chegg - Senior Software Engineer, Java
Create and support highly scalable and fault tolerant java based systems. We deal with financial transactions, so mistakes are literally costly. We highly value test driven development. We’re not a TDD team… yet. You will participate in improving our team to reach TDD nirvana.
Our systems are designed around a plug-in architecture. At this time our team owns the plug-in development. The goal is to provide a platform utilized by the other engineering teams. We want to build the platform and then get out of the way. You will help build out the missing components to make this a truly self-serve platform.
We’re constantly looking for ways to improve application performance. Our systems are indirectly customer facing. When a customer adds an item to a cart they are using our systems. Get it working, then make it fast. When we mention tenured vs. nursery sizing you know we’re talking about GC tuning. Via code reviews and other feedback you’ll guide junior engineers with your performance coding experience.
