Hand-curated remote jobs in product & UX, from across the web.

Of note: the site and its twitter feed (https://twitter.com/remotivocom) are generated by 2 python scripts which run on a Raspberry Pi under my desk. The 'database' is a Google Sheet and the 'host' is an S3 bucket, both of which are read from and updated every few hours by the Pi.

At the moment scraping is very basic but I’d like to automate that more. Part of the appeal at the moment (I think) is that I check the jobs to ensure they’re not scams, are actually remote, etc.

I'm sad to hear that you feel so anxious :( Exercise helps a ton. So does therapy (cognitive behavior therapy especially). Mindfulness meditation can help a lot, too.

Wrote and published a book on how to implement Sign in with Apple (https://siwa.fluffy.es) as I am an iOS dev and also backend dev, plus the deadline Apple set for it is end of this month.

Didn't do much marketing but still managed to sell 15+ copies, pretty happy about this attempt, spent 3 weeks writing it after work hours.
