A bit of a nitpick, but I've noticed the trend of several sites to only allow SSO with one, maybe two, 3rd parties. More egregious, no ability to sign up directly. Are other languages missing something like node's Passport to allow easy integration to multiple SSO providers or is single-single service sign on an active choice that is growing in popularity?

#12I love the idea, but I'm not a LinkedIn user. Wouldn't it be more inclusive to transform the "LinkedIn URL" field into a general purpose URL field? Also, if you post something, it's a bit of a black hole. The entry is held for moderator approval and when you go back to the "show what you made form" it's as if nothing ever happened.
There is an alert after submitting the form, and a redirect to the frontpage. It's set to disappear quite quickly. I will improve on that, thanks for pointing it out!

#13We changed the title from "40% of Women Leave Tech; Could Remote Work Be a Solution?" because it was baity and the page's own language is more informative.
I first had a slogan on the website that "for Women who build things for the Web". However, personally I dislike sites that are so obviously directed for women, e.g. "Learning to code for women." That's why I tried to make the site more gender neutral, however the underlying idea is to attract (men and) women to create side projects and ultimately for them to get more remote work opportunities. All side projects don't become startups, but they can be useful in other ways.

That's true, a Stackoverflow profile would be probably more suitable, or whichever link gives more information about the developer. There is an alert after submitting the form, and a redirect to the frontpage. It's set to disappear quite quickly. I will improve on that, thanks for pointing it out!
If you're not planning to integrate with some specific API, it could be any URL, including a personal site.

That's hilarious. When you want views, just reference the "gender problem" in tech. Genius.
