The "Dev Japan" meetups at Cookpad in Ebisu were so awesome

Circa 2017

@jessethanley Thanks! Yea I need to

And yes that's right, built with Expo!

Already had my Rails API separate so figured I might as well build some more clients

@rrmdp Hey Rodrigo!

Yep still quietly hacking away on Japan Dev 💪

I'm gonna try building in public a bit more though!

Hope everything's going well with your projects

This feature was first requested 6 years ago. Well, better late than never

Japan Dev now has User Profiles 🚀

Which enables a ton of new features I'm super excited about...

[Eric Turner ⛩️ @_etdev]

Lastly, I want to make one thing clear:

You don't *have* to create an account to use Japan Dev.

We still allow anyone to apply, even if you don't have an account.

And now, job alert emails are more personalized

Don't speak Japanese?
☑️ You won't see jobs that require Japanese skills

Don't live in Japan?
☑️ You won't see jobs that require you to be a resident of Japan

Are you a new grad or junior engineer?
☑️ No more senior jobs

Added a few testimonials to Japan Dev from our hiring partners

When we started out, I just wanted to spread the word about good tech companies in Japan.

Turns out the PEOPLE at those companies are the best too – I'm so lucky to work with them.

Like HENNGE, a fantastic company:

Also in the robotics industry, Rapyuta Robotics is another great long-term partner. It seems like a really great place to work, and I'm so happy I can support them:
