I am working on a newsletter for remote work opportunities. As a developer you can sign up, and (will be able to) set some filters like what technologies you are interested in, salary, if you want to work full or parttime, what time zone yo

This really depends on where you live! For startup hubs such as San Francisco, New York etc, I think the best job boards are https://jobs.github.com/ , http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/ , http:&#x2

care to elaborate on "projects come in regularly"? are you actively looking for new jobs yourself? if yes, where? are companies approaching you? how do they find you?

sounds boring, but i would probably work on test coverage for existing projects, because i don't need internet for that, and i can stop whenever i run out of battery...

great job on launching something! i'm working on something similar in this space. i think you will have a hard time attracting users (and therefore jobs), being that there are already remote job boards out there. chicken/egg marke

Yes, maybe there is a mismatch about what we think validation means. I think it means looking for indicators that you are not the only one liking your idea. When you offer a product, one indicator (the most obvious actually) would be, if pe

maybe a mod can change it to "How I validated an Idea on Hacker News"?

mh, sorry for misleading you. not my intention. but i think my story is exactly about how to validate an idea on HN. I wrote about every step I did and couldn't have been more transparent about it. I learned quite a lot from similar ar

last week I submitted coderjobs.net to HN[1]. the idea was that people could sign up to get job opportunities based on their interest. we were on the frontpage for a couple of hours[2], and had about 1000 people sign up! so clearly, there i

no you shouldn't have too... the database seems to be the bootleneck. on my plan heroku limits concurrent connections to 20. just try to sign up again...again, sorry about that, i didn't carefully plan to be on the frontpage

my bad. that shouldn't be possible. check remote only, if you are just interested in jobs that allow remote work. check include remote if you are interested in both remote jobs and also jobs at your location. check none if you are only
