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?

Is there a reason that HTML doesn't work for a job board?

It does, but it's hard to differentiate yourself making yet-another-remote-jobs-job-board, especially if you're not on distribution already (like I wasn't). I think Telegram is an interesting distribution channel that let me connect directly with people (instead them having to come to a site)

I'll make open newsletters in the future as well, for the people that are not on Telegram. Thanks for your comment! :D

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Neat idea? I'm not sure. Why isn't it simply a web page?

I like the possibility of reaching people directly, instead of them having to visit a web page. If you're not on Telegram, I forgot to mention before that you can also get the same jobs creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)

Hmm, glancing at the screenshots at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#plans, it seems that it's not always very good at distinguishing jobs offered from jobs wanted in people's twitter posts.

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!

Probably. I don't even know what telegram is and I'm a senior developer who works remotely. I'm def not installing anything. Also, quick question: "OC here" -- I thought "OC" meant "original content" and is used often on reddit because of so many reposts. Is there a different meaning?

Sorry, I meant OP. I'm the guy that's developing this thing, that's what I meant. Sorry for the confusion

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.

why are you so dead set on thinking having to sign up for a platform is something that people will do specifically for your service?
