I made this as a way to see remote / telecommuting / anywhere jobs. I'm posting it now mainly as a way to "force the MVP", and to stop fiddling with it.

I'd love to know any feedback you guys have. Thanks!

I like how Patio11 is now a job title.

I think the background makes the text a little hard to read though

Thanks for creating this, now please throw some rgba(0,0,0,0.5) on to the job listing background-color!

The background makes the site almost unusable, at least for me. Using a background like the one on the box at the bottom would make the whole page a lot more readable.

Agreed. I think the OP should change the image or at least use a Gaussian blur on it.

Just made it darker; hopefully that'll help with the contrast.

Just tried it again. I think the problem is more with the fireplace and other stuff behind the text. The user's eye gaze is caught in a tug-of-war between the text and the imagery when he's scrolling.

Ditto, for me it's the artifacting mixed with how busy it is. A blur would resolve both of these.
