This is great! I like that the focus is on companies (regardless of their hiring status), rather than job listings. When I started searching for remote positions a while back, I was more interested in finding a good company first, not necessarily a company that happened to have an open remote position at that particular point in time. So once I found a place that I liked, I'd add it to my notes and check their site from time to time (or if I really liked what they were doing, I'd get in touch directly). For me at least, that seemed to be more effective than constantly checking remote job sites. For anyone else who's in the same boat, here are a few similarly helpful resources: https://github.com/jessicard/remote-jobs https://github.com/jessicard/remote-jobs http://workingremote.ly/leaders/distributed-companies/ http://workingremote.ly/leaders/distributed-companies/ https://triplebyte.com/ycombinator-startups#q=&page=0&refinements=%5B%5D https://triplebyte.com/ycombinator-startups#q=&page=0&refine... https://stayintech.com/info/explore https://stayintech.com/info/explore (The companies on this list aren't all remote, but I'm including it anyway since diversity + inclusivity were also among my criteria.)

This is the first comment I read when seeing this and I agree with you, which makes me have an awesome feature to add. (I went back to see if it exists but the site isn't loading now) Sign up, select which companies you want to be notified of when they start hiring, and email you.

Given these already strong lists, I'm curious why OP decided to start another vs. build upon them. We've seen several emerge in the past year or two, though unfortunately they're fragmented like this. It's nice that RemoteBase is adding more structured data with filters to the mix, and while I'm not totally sure what "open database" means, I hope they're be an API. It'd be really nice to have one authoritative source for referring to remote jobs, which as OP pointed out, for most interests really means remote companies.

I agree that it is nice to have a list of companies - it's nicer to try to find a remote job by company, rather than what jobs are open now and seem to be remote.

Recently joined Canonical through this exact process. After checking every once in a while for a year or so a position in Australia opened up and I jumped on it.
