I thought about that - whether to use icons or text - in the end I decided that with shorter text, at least for the initial release.

Sorry about that, should be ok now.

Nearly every job I've applied for recently has asked for my github id - at least for web development it seems almost mandatory.

Hi, it's probably an incomplete company URL (need the http:// part) and other such things. One immediate improvement I intend to add on is form field highlighting - so it will show you which fields are yet to be filled in c

I've worked at fixing that, and it should be ok now.

by hiddentao 12y ago
Agreed, I need to email them about that.

Happy to say that as of now no new "Company confidential" job ads will appear on the site (existing ones will still remain until they expire). Company name and URL are now mandatory.

Just saw that myself, thanks for noting it. One feature I want to add at some point is the ability to "flag" a job ad as either misleading or inappropriate - but this would have to be implemented in tandem with basic CRUD function

That's a really good idea, thanks :) it's on our todo list now.

Yeah, sorry about the lack of search and the hotlinking. I wanted to build this quickly and validate it before going any further. As for the job types, yeah I know - I have to admit that when I build this job board I initially had remote we

Hi, what version of FF are you using? And thanks for the feedback. Yep, search is on the todo list.

"RemoteCoder" sounded shorter and sweeter as a name which is why I went with it. So it was really about marketing, no offence to developers/programmers (I'm one myself after all ;)

by hiddentao 12y ago
Very interesting points. To be honest I created this board out of similar frustrations (applying for a "remote" job ad only to find out that it meant within the USA only). I like your point about how job listing should work both w

Very sorry about that, should now be fixed and working.

by hiddentao 12y ago
Thanks, this should now be fixed.

by hiddentao 12y ago
Thanks. It's good if companies are respecting that checkbox. On other job boards I've used (e.g. weworkremotely) remote often turns out to really mean "remote within country X" or "telecommute". This was one of

Thanks, that is on the todo list. I was trying to get this done in a short space of time - and because the initial list of jobs was going to be short I felt that I didn't need it for now.

by hiddentao 12y ago
Very true. I was limited by time and also didn't want to add in more integrations until I obtained some feedback. At the moment RemoteCoder is a small experiment - now that I'm getting feedback I can take it in a more fruitful dir

Thanks, this should now be fixed.

Very true. I also have another angle I wish to pursue with respect to this. But it's good to know that there's interest in such a job board. Furthermore, my focus with this board is on developers and developers only. WeWorkRemotel

It's focussed purely on developers (hence the Github integration that some jobs require) and it provides clarity on whether a job is truly remote anywhere or remote within a specific region.
52.
by hiddentao 12y ago
Thanks, you're right. I was aware of this issue when I was building it, and I do have a few ideas regarding traffic building which may or may not work. For now I just want to see if such a job board would be of any interest in the firs

by hiddentao 12y ago
Sorry, that seems to be a problem on other similar job sites too. I haven't yet thought about how to solve that problem, any ideas are welcome! Plus, with contract work I've sometimes had to negotiate with a client - I thought it

by hiddentao 12y ago
One of the key differentiators is the ability to see which jobs are truly remote (like nomadlist does) vs. remote within a particular region. The other is that this job board is focussed solely on coders (whereas weworkremotely also caters

by hiddentao 12y ago
Thanks. Yep, that's on the todo list. Time was short and I predicted that initially there wouldn't be so many jobs so I prioritised other features over search.

You only need one if the employer has specified that you need one when creating their ad. It saves them having to ask you for your id in your application - better yet, it allows us to verify your github profile for them and even send them a

by hiddentao 12y ago
I added that in for 2 reasons: 1) I usually get client work based on my github profile, i.e. they like what they see there, and 2) nowadays almost every job ad I see looking for remote web developer asks for a github id. I appreciate that n

by hiddentao 12y ago
Yep, I always knew this would be a problem. Nevertheless I felt it would be worth putting it out there to gauge the interest in something like this. I'm happy to say a lot of people are interested (and new jobs are showing up on the bo

Sorry about that! I built this in 2 weeks in between doing other stuff (travelling, attending events) so I had to make some hard choices about the essentials. And editing was left out of that. However, I'm surprised the actual renderin

Glad you like it. I've been working independently for about 5 years now and never plan to go back unless it's something really special (maybe SpaceX's Mars project :). Even then I'd want to be able to work remotely. Poin
