The Story Behind LayoffLens ๐Ÿ“–

From a simple frustration to a full-blown data platform

The "Aha!" Moment

Picture this: It's 2 AM, I'm scrolling through tech news, and I see yet another layoff announcement. Then another. And another. I thought to myself:"What if we could get all this data in one place?"

The Mission

I wanted to create something that would help job seekers, researchers, and anyone curious about workforce trends. No more hunting through dozens of news sites or trying to piece together incomplete data.
