This might be a good idea. But telegram limits it. Others have said that too, just adding my voice.

You're right. This is just an MVP tho, I'll probably create email newsletters for the people that don't use Telegram soon.

so you're dead-set on extracting "something" of value from me before offering any compelling reason tor me to do so? Seems limiting...

Why would you say so? Joining the Telegram channels is free, and creating an email alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#basic-plan is free as well

If you're in financial trouble somehow or can't afford the paid plan on FindMeGigs that sends you all the jobs, DM on Twitter (https://twitter.com/xoelipedes) and I'll give you a free unlimited account for free.

Fair point. I'll make free, open email newsletters in the futures. If you want to create an email alert to get the same jobs, I also created https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#basic-plan and it's working already (230 subscribers as of now)

Hey! OP here. It's one of my first posts here so wasn't quite sure about the title. This links to Telegram channels, so you need to be on Telegram - even tho you can also create an email alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#basic-plan to get the same jobs

Do you think that something like 'Show HN: Senior Remote Jobs on Telegram' would have been a better title?

Thanks!

Is it "noice" (the colloquialism) or "no ICE" (ideological)?

Well seeing as the page title is NoiceJobs and the giant heading on the page says NoiceJobs, I'd assume it was the colloquialism, bcd ravens. - from mr speaker / mrs peaker.

Haha yeah, noice ~ nice :)

I appreciate OP posting these jobs, but when I tried to install the Telegram app, it wants access to manage my phone app to verify my number. No thanks.

Ah, I'm sorry. You can also receive the same jobs via email creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)

The findmegigs site is even more hostile than the original in terms of not being able to see jobs.

These sites may work for you, but I am annoyed I wasted my time even clicking the links.

No instant value means you'll miss a large segment of users.

Why Telegram? You're instantly limiting your audience to those who use it, or who have the desire/energy/inclination to install it. Why not post this information somewhere where it's actually accessible? And are you affiliated to these jobs in any way? Do you have a commercial interest in them?

I appreciate OP posting these jobs, but when I tried to install the Telegram app, it wants access to manage my phone app to verify my number. No thanks.

You can safely deny this and other permissions. It behaves nicely.

Hey HN! Some months ago I made a bot to find remote jobs for myself. Now I made a product of it and it posts jobs to 50+ Telegram channels, with more than 1500 users in total It's focused in getting high-quality, senior-only remote roles If you're not on Telegram, you can also get the same jobs via email creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels) Would…

Curious how you decided to use Telegram for this. Seems like a neat idea. Don’t know if Telegram lets you edit old posts, but would be nice to see if a job has been filled.

>if Telegram lets you edit old posts

It does.

Thanks for your feedback, I agree with you in that if you're not on Telegram it's hard to know what to expect. I'll try to improve that in the future.

This category of “niche job board” seems to be the new get-rich-fast (or rather, collect-emails-fast) scheme du jour.

Over the last few months there’s been remote jobs, jobs that don’t require a car degree, jobs for a specific tech... the space is quickly becoming inflated
