JobAction - Job Board Platform

JobAction is a job board platform where job seekers can search, apply, and save jobs, while employers can post listings and manage applications.

The frontend is built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with a simple, responsive design. The backend is developed in Python (Flask) to handle routing, job operations, and API endpoints. Supabase is used for data storage and user management, with its built-in JWT-based authentication ensuring secure logins and protected routes. All client–server communication happens through RESTful API requests using the native fetch API.

📋 Setup Instructions

1. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set up Supabase

1. Create a new project at supabase.com
2. Important: Go to Authentication → Settings and:
   • Disable "Enable email confirmations" (this allows immediate login after signup)
   • Optionally, you can also disable "Enable email change confirmations"
3. Go to Settings → API to get your project URL and anon key
4. Create a .env file in the project root:

SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project-id.supabase.co
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-supabase-anon-key
FLASK_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here

3. Set up Database

Run the SQL in supabase_setup.sql in your Supabase SQL Editor:

• Go to your Supabase dashboard
• Navigate to SQL Editor
• Copy and paste the contents of supabase_setup.sql
• Click "Run"

4. Run the Application

python app.py

Then open http://localhost:5000/home.html in your browser.

🔧 Troubleshooting Login Issues

If you get "Invalid login credentials":

1. Check Supabase Settings: Make sure email confirmations are disabled in Authentication → Settings
2. Check Console Logs: The Flask app will show debug logs for signup/login attempts
3. Verify User Creation: Check Supabase Dashboard → Authentication → Users to see if your account was created
4. Try Different Email: Some email providers may be blocked by Supabase
5. Check Password: Make sure you're using the exact same password for both signup and login
