Oh, neat. Hi everyone. I made this website a few months ago. If there are questions or suggestions, happy to answer them. The website was covered in the wallstreet journal and a few other places: https://www.wsj.com/articles/many-companies-want-remote-workersexcept-from-colorado-11623937649?reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink https://www.wsj.com/articles/many-companies-want-remote-work... Definitely overkill for the website itself but I also built it as a learning opportunity so it's a react frontend with Tailwindcss, Golang + gRPC gateway, hosted on an EKS cluster and backed by serverless Postgres Aurora. I hope the stack holds up with eyes from HN :D

Neat idea and great execution!

What do you pay to host the site? It seems to have survived the hug of death so far, great work. Very inspirational to see work from an old colleague at the top of HN. Hope you're doing well!

I clicked through some Accenture links (#2 on the list) and they clearly comply with the Colorado hiring law. They even have a section dedicated to the Colorado law and the wage range: > As required by the Colorado Equal Pay Transparency Act, Accenture provides a reasonable range of minimum compensation for roles that may be hired in Colorado. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific office location. For the state of Colorado only, the range of starting pay for this role is {$215,000 - $324,999 } and information on benefits offered is here. How are you generating this list? The first link I clicked on showed the exact opposite of excluding Colorado hiring due to the law. Are these listings compiled by searching for generic terms like “Colorado”? Is anyone verifying them?

It's funny that idk if you're trying to shame these companies or the government of Colorado because either would make sense depending on your POV.

  I kinda like that you can draw your own conclusion there. Makes the site more fun.

  Either or neither would make sense. They don't necessarily need some agenda beyond being informational, hard as that is to imagine.

Rackspace is doing it, and this tool isn't detecting it. https://jobs.lever.co/rackspace/d18e6926-5c2d-49fc-8553-ba6192ce53d6 https://jobs.lever.co/rackspace/d18e6926-5c2d-49fc-8553-ba61... >Position is available for remote work in the following states unless otherwise specified. Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Hawaii is excluded as well. I wonder if it for legal or timezone/travel/covid reasons. edit - looks like they have a fair amount of openings, and all the remote ones have CO excluded.

  Alaska is also excluded, so timezone/travel sounds pretty likely.

The site is great! Fantastic idea. Awesome work on the responsiveness, too. Unsolicited opinion on the design: The mid grey text on the light grey background (e.g. as seen on the about) isn’t a great design decision imo. I know it’s really fashionable right now for some reason, and while it may meet sufficient contrast for accessibility guidelines (I didn’t check), I found it quite hard to read. That colour text signals to me the same thing the grey-on-grey Ts&Cs footer on most websites signals - ignore this text. Grey on grey is one of my personal pet peeves so maybe I’m reading into it too much.
