Show HN: WhatsApp bot that auto-tracks job applications in Google Sheets

I got tired of losing track of job applications across different sites and forgetting when I applied where. Built a WhatsApp bot that extracts company/role info from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor URLs and logs everything to Google Sheets automatically.

Just text a job URL to the bot and it handles the rest. Also works with manual "Company - Role" entries. The Google Sheet gives you application stats and is accessible anywhere.

Tech: Node.js, Twilio WhatsApp API, Google Sheets API, Cheerio for scraping. Takes ~10 mins to set up with free tiers.
