I started a blog similar to this the other month, however it didn't really get very far (like most side-projects :D). The main thing I wanted to differentiate with other remote job sites are that "remote" usually means "remote in the US". I wanted it to be focussed on jobs available to Europeans, hence the name RemoteTechJobs.eu. That was my first hurdle though, there aren't really that many remote jobs in Europe tha…

Very interesting points. To be honest I created this board out of similar frustrations (applying for a "remote" job ad only to find out that it meant within the USA only). I like your point about how job listing should work both ways - I think that SomewhereHQ comes close to doing this. Also, good job on getting RemoteTechJobs.eu up and running. Another reason I built the job board (and built it quickly in 2 weeks) w…

I think you are doing the site a dis-service by allowing postings that require someone to be onsite. https://remotecoder.io/j/senior-software-deve-inc358647

I filled out the entire job posting and it won't let me submit. Anyone else having this issue? says I need to fill out everything above but everything is filled out.

Hi, this is my first potentially revenue-generating project, that I built in 2 weeks. There are still a few features missing (e.g. CV upload) but the general functionality is there - including the Github authentication. Would love to hear what people think :)

I'm not sure if the github authentication is working. I go to Apply for this job, it takes me to github, I click authenticate, then I get this error on on the github_oauth_callback page on remotecoder.io: {"type":"MongoError","msg":"E11000 duplicate key error index: remotecoder.users.$email_1 dup key: { : null }"} (My github username is the same as my HN handle)
