Internship Application Tracker

About The Project

Searching for an internship involves managing dozens of applications, portals, and deadlines. This Internship Application Tracker replaces chaotic Excel sheets with a streamlined, automated dashboard.

It helps you organize the entire application lifecycle—from "Saved" to "Offer"—and uses the Yahoo Finance API to automatically fetch and display company data (Industry, Employee Count, Description) simply by entering a stock ticker.

Key Features

• Live Dashboard: Real-time statistics showing your progress (Total Applications, Interviews, Rejections, etc.).
• Auto-Enrichment: Enter a ticker (e.g., AAPL or BMW.DE), and the app automatically pulls the company's description, industry, and size via yfinance.
• Location Tracking: Track the country/location for every position.
• Smart Notes: Rich text notes to keep track of interview details or specific application requirements.
• Full Control: Edit statuses (e.g., move from "Applied" to "Interview") or delete old entries easily.
• Clean UI: Built with PicoCSS for a minimalist, dark-mode-friendly look that focuses on the data.
