Earlier quoted context omitted.

Advice: Please remove "Enforce Github authentication" functionality. Don't help popularizing "Github is your CV" bullshit. Also, since you're just starting, limiting your userbase is the last thing you want to achieve...

Why do you think it's bullshit?

As someone who has interests outside code, and works on propietary software, I don't have code that I have open sourced. Does that make me a bad developer? (In fact, looking at my toolchain and libraries, I don't think anything I'm working with is Open Source at all... yay games)

I suspect you won't get much of an audience if you don't make it clear how much these jobs will pay. Reading some of the posted jobs, I can't tell if these are actual engineering jobs or $20/hr variety.

Yeah, All those jobs look nice. But they don't mention how much I will get payed.

Great initiative! It seems like remote working is becoming more of a thing lately, which I think is aweseome, after ~7 years in the it-business I've made myself the promise of never taking a mandatory 40h/week inside-the-office-job again. So kudos for helping getting remote offers out there. That said, I always cringe when I see the "employer confidential" flag on job postings... I for one would never apply for a job…

At the same time, some companies that formerly embraced remote employees have decided that it's better to have them under one roof. Recent notable examples: Yahoo and Reddit have told all of their remote employees to relocate or find a new job.

Glad you like it. I've been working independently for about 5 years now and never plan to go back unless it's something really special (maybe SpaceX's Mars project :). Even then I'd want to be able to work remotely.

Point taken regarding company anonymity. Seems a lot of people have issue with that. I added that "feature" in just because I saw it on other jobs sites (e.g. authenticjobs) and felt that not having it would exclude certain potential companies from posting an ad. On reflection though, I agree with you that knowing which company you're applying to would be better so I'm going to make company information mandatory from now on.

Argh, no CRUD for my job listing :/ The markdown preview and the actual rendering are quite different, so I appear to have posted a Wall Of Text :S

Sorry about that! I built this in 2 weeks in between doing other stuff (travelling, attending events) so I had to make some hard choices about the essentials. And editing was left out of that. However, I'm surprised the actual rendering looks that different - which job ad did you post? (see my HN Profile for the email). I can edit it manually for you.
