Hi HN! Solo founder here. I recently quit my job as a software engineer at a FAANG company in order to start some startups and see what works. RemotelyPro is my latest project that aggregates remote part-time jobs. I initially wanted this product while I was still working my previous job. I wanted a remote part-time job because it would give me the flexibility to work on my startups while still having some money to pay for basic expenses. Unfortunately, whenever I searched for remote part-time jobs on indeed, linkedin, etc, the results were lacking. It wasn't uncommon to see full-time jobs listed as part-time jobs and for non-remote jobs to be listed as remote. That's why I made this aggregator to filter the current postings in order to get the real remote part-time job postings. I really think that this can add a lot of value not just to people who are/will be in my position, but also to others who might be stay at home parents or people who want a flexible job as they travel the world. I would love to get feedback from you all, and I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out!

  For what’s it worth one of the first jobs I see, while stating “fully remote” in the description has the title of “Handy Man” and a description of > Seeking an all around Maintenance Person/House Remodeler. We are looking for someone who is experienced in Rehabs, Make Readies, Service Request, Interior and Exterior Carpentry, Painting, Plumbing Services, Fixture Installation, Interior and Exterior Doors, Trim, Crown, Finish Carpentry, Kitchen and Bath Remodels. Plus much more. Somehow I doubt this position could be performed remotely.

    ah yeah I see what you mean. I'll need to add some logic that filters posts like this out. I think the person posting the job kinda misunderstood the meaning of remote. I just removed it.
