Is there no way to browse this information in the browser? Not saying I am anti-Telegram, but I have never used it, nor know how it works.

Hi! Definitely, I'll consider doing this soon. I like Telegram because it lets me reach people directly without them having to come to my site. But it's true that a lot of people don't use it and I'm missing out on them. I'll probably create email newsletters soon for the people that are not on Telegram. Thanks!

Curious about this as well. The desktop download links time out for me, so, I'll try getting the app on my phone I guess. Would be great to see this on desktop/web somehow. Edit: App requires SMS auth, but the phone I'm trying this on has no SIM card. Oh well.

Ah, that's a bummer! I'll probably create weekly newsletters soon with the same content, I thought Telegram was quite extended in the tech community but apparently not. I'll post it here when the newsletters are ready

In the meantime, you can receive the same jobs via email creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)

Why Telegram? You're instantly limiting your audience to those who use it, or who have the desire/energy/inclination to install it. Why not post this information somewhere where it's actually accessible? And are you affiliated to these jobs in any way? Do you have a commercial interest in them?

I appreciate OP posting these jobs, but when I tried to install the Telegram app, it wants access to manage my phone app to verify my number. No thanks.

Ah, I'm sorry. You can also receive the same jobs via email creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)

And no, I'm not affiliated with any of the jobs. I find them on Twitter and then parse the original URLs to get more info about each one

BTW, if you're not on Telegram you can also receive the same jobs via email creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)

You're right. This is just an MVP tho, I'll probably create email newsletters for the people that don't use Telegram soon.

so you're dead-set on extracting "something" of value from me before offering any compelling reason tor me to do so? Seems limiting...

Curious how you decided to use Telegram for this. Seems like a neat idea. Don’t know if Telegram lets you edit old posts, but would be nice to see if a job has been filled.

Neat idea? I'm not sure. Why isn't it simply a web page?

I like the possibility of reaching people directly, instead of them having to visit a web page.

If you're not on Telegram, I forgot to mention before that you can also get the same jobs creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)

Hey - I like the telegram choice for this. I know you are getting some questions about it but I prefer it actually. Not everything needs to be on the web, indexed, and archived forever.

>> Not everything needs to be on the web, indexed, and archived forever.

Any particular reason this shouldn't be the default state for information though? It would seem that any sort of task that benefits society as a whole is made significantly harder by not making things web-based, accessible and durable.

If this is "senrio jobs for telegram users" that's different. I'm not getting that message though.

I don't follow - wouldn't a reguilar web page be the most direct way to communicate? Everything else is an added barrier, or do you mean 1-on-1 direct?
