First, thank you to everyone who has worked on this project. I only found ApplyPilot recently, but it looks like there is a lot of useful work here and a lot of people interested in the problem it is trying to solve.
As I started looking through the code and trying to get things running, I noticed what may be a broader coordination issue: there are a lot of forks, but it is not immediately clear where the most active development is happening now.
That matters because this kind of project depends heavily on fresh, current knowledge about job boards and application flows. Some of the behavior appears to reference older versions of sites, old search URL formats, or assumptions like a company using Workday when the live site has since changed. Those are exactly the kinds of things that many people may be fixing independently in separate forks.
It feels like we may be duplicating a lot of work across forks when we could be pooling fixes, updated selectors, updated job-board handling, site-specific changes, and new features in one more active place.
So I wanted to ask:
- Is there already an active fork or branch where current development is being coordinated?
- Are there maintainers or contributors already collecting recent fixes from different forks?
- Would folks be interested in identifying one coordination point for ongoing development?
- If not, would it be useful for someone to help organize that effort?
I am willing to help with that if it would be useful. I am new to the project, so I do not want to assume that role if someone is already doing it, but I would be happy to help gather recent fork activity, compare useful changes, organize issues, and work toward a more current community-maintained version.
My goal is not to split the project further. It is the opposite: I would like to avoid people solving the same problems in isolation and help find or create a shared place where recent changes can land.
If anyone knows of an active fork, Discord, discussion thread, maintainer plan, or other coordination effort, please point me to it. I think a lot of us would benefit from knowing where the latest work is happening.
