Show HN: RemoteFriendly – A remote job board inspired by HN

#1

Post by 1xdevloper »

Hi HN,

I've designed the site based on what I wanted a couple of years ago when I had been looking for a remote job. It's very early and any feedback is appreciated.

I've also used this opportunity to reduce some of that front-end framework fatigue by using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Edit: I'll add location and salary filters as soon as I wake up tomorrow

Looks great, I love the minimalistic design!

Would it be possible to provide a filter which enables you to list jobs that do not have a physical location requirement? For instance, if I live in Sweden, how can I see which remote jobs I am eligible to apply for?

You can do ctrl + f "Worldwide" for now. I'll add filters for locations and salary soon :)

Does anyone of have a full list of the other ones [services] similar?

I love this, but want to make sure I'm not missing out on all the possibilities.

Great font, reminds me of musicForProgramming [1] featured recently.

I love the manually curated categories and how fast it is.

Some feedback:

1) It's hard to tell where the job postings are crawled from. Are they recent? Are they comprehensive? Are they fully remote? I can't tell if it's even real data or just some sample postings you put up to demo the UI. Some insight into your crawling methodology would help with trustworthiness.

2) There's no easy way to distinguish the companies from one another, either in terms of their industry, their scale, their rankings, etc.

3) Lack of sorting/filtering makes it hard to drill down beyond the basic category

It's a great start though, and thanks for putting this together!

Congrats! I launched a job board recently too [1] specifically for Anon Friendly jobs (jobs where you can work pseudonymously). We have similar domain names :D

One thing you might want to look into is adding Structured Data [2] for job postings. Doing so "makes your job postings eligible to appear in a special user experience in Google Search results". It could help you reach more people.

Thanks for the feedback!

1) I used HN's June and July "Who is Hiring" threads as a starting point and listed more jobs from the companies that posted there. I manually listed only the jobs with a salary range so there's no automatic crawling right now. I setup a couple of scripts/pages to make the process very easy for me though. All jobs listed are fully remote.

2) There are also company pages for the jobs listed (e.g. https://remotefriendly.com/companies/posthog.com/). They're pretty basic right now but I plan to add a lot more detail in the future.

3) Definitely on the todo list. You can just use ctrl + f for now since the since the site design is simple.
