As 2018 gets underway, keeping your new year's resolutions can become increasingly difficult. Luckily, there's an app for just about anything, and some of them don't turn into a real life Black Mirror episode (we're looking at you).
Below are a few products and resources that can help you with your goals, and several job opportunities you may want to explore.
Get a New Job
January is a popular month for job searching. If you're looking to make a move, 24,000+ technology companies are hiring on AngelList. Apply privately with one application, and see salary and equity upfront.
If you're happy where you're at now, that's great too.
But, if the right opportunity comes around, you'll want to make sure companies know they can reach you (there's a secret status on your AngelList profile that gives them the signal).
Here's how to do it:
• Activate your AngelList Talent Profile
• Set your status to "passive" to show up in search results
• You can also choose "secretly looking" so you can reach out to companies that interest you (without appearing in search results)
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to look, explore these collections of popular job opportunities:

Be Healthier
Gyroscope provides a complete overview of your health with cool graphs, visualizations, and useful integrations too. Think of Gyroscope as your body's operating system.
Myfitnesspal is the best calorie counter app around. Millions of people use it daily, and live by it. P.S. If you're looking to make a move, Myfitnesspal is hiring engineers in San Francisco.
Freeletics is the app that will get you in better shape in 2018 through high intensity workouts and custom training plans. Fun fact: the company is based in Munich and is hiring like crazy.
Lose It is another great option. The app lets you track what you eat and get nutritional facts by taking pictures.
Learn to Code
Of the many skills one can learn (cooking, painting, GIF-making), learning to code is incredibly useful and it’s not just for engineers. Coding is a language that will become increasingly important to understand, and today it's one of the most sought after skills.
Here are 51 of the best resources for learning to code, including:
Py: Learn to code right from your phone
Quick Code: A curated list of free programming courses
freeCodeCamp: Learn to code by building for nonprofits
Codecademy: The biggest company in the space with 25M users

Protect Your Online Privacy
Yesterday it was discovered that the chips in just about everyone’s computer have security holes. One of the vulnerabilities is called Spectre and the other is named Meltdown. Both are not good.
In light of this unfortunate news we teamed up with our friends at StackSocial to offer 70% off a lifetime subscription of VPN Unlimited, which was voted PC Mag’s Top VPN of 2017. Now’s a great time to revisit your digital security for the new year.
