Good Doc Jobs

Active open-data product

Role: Creator, Documentation Engineer, and Data Curator
Status: Active and ongoing (launched 2026)
Audience: Technical communicators and documentation job seekers

I built Good Doc Jobs as a free, reader-facing database for documentation and related jobs. I built Public Job Feed as the source and review system behind it.

The problem​

Technical communicators must often search several job boards, remove repeated records, compare incomplete details, and check whether links still work. A useful public list must stay simple for readers while the source process keeps enough evidence for review and maintenance.

What I built​

ComponentPurpose
Good Doc JobsGives readers a structured and filterable public list without a signup requirement.
Public Job FeedCollects source records, saves review evidence, checks records, and prepares data for publication.
Working NotesPublishes selected job roundups and explains project methods for readers.

Good Doc Jobs is the public reading and filtering experience. Public Job Feed keeps the source, review, validation, and publication work separate from that experience. This structure lets me improve the operating process without adding that complexity to the reader-facing list.

Source-to-publication workflow​

  1. Collect.Save direct employer records and source details.
  2. Review.Check role fit, location, pay, restrictions, and source status.
  3. Validate.Check structure, repeated records, links, and publication files.
  4. Publish.Prepare the simple public list and selected reader-facing summaries.

Weekly reporting​

I created weekly reporting views to track saved entries, additions, removals, and work-location groups. This example captures the project view from November 9, 2026.

Good Doc Jobs weekly metrics dashboard dated November 9, 2026, with 767 saved entries and location counts
Weekly metrics. This view brings saved entries, weekly changes, and location groups into one report for publication planning.

How I maintain the list​

Public Job Feed saves the source URL, review evidence, and last known status for each record. I use those fields to update the public list, revisit incomplete details, and recheck links as conditions change.
