Meta: I personally found the published version very unfriendly to my eyes, so I chose to generate a download link for OP's spreadsheet. This is a direct link to download the spreadsheet : https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/...

This is cool. Thank you for this

You're welcome!

Maybe it's better to have as a GitHub repository so people can add new stuff there through pull requests and it can be indexed by Google so others can find it? I would add two missing sources myself, they are not the greatest but I found my previous remote job on one of them.

Good Idea.

What criteria were used to rank these as "best"? I personally see some on the list that aggregate high-quality jobs in small quantities (e.g. WeWorkRemotely), and then others that have variable-quality jobs in very high quantities (e.g. UpWork).

As far as I can tell, the title is "Remote jobs and gigs platforms." I see no indication they were ranked. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right.

One to add that's not on the list: https://www.moonlightwork.com

They have a link at the top to suggest an addition. It takes you to a simple form where you type in the link and hit submit. That might be a more effective means to get this added.

Yes. I added all submissions.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is right on the money. I think the 'trick' to getting a satisfying remote position is to use WFH as a bargaining chip. For instance, I was living in Seattle and I wanted to live in Portland, where it's more affordable. When I started WFH, I traded a pay cut for the opportunity to WFH. It all worked out; my place in Oregon was about 70% as expensive as what I would've paid to live in Seattle. It was a win-win; th…

its also a win for them too in that they dont need to provide office space for you

Agreed. I think one of the reasons that my employer wound up retiring their WFH program was because the value of the real estate cratered.

IE, if your plan was to let people WFH, then sell the buildings they used to occupy, that plan is going to go south if the value of the building drops by half.

The original title of this post (and the document) was "List of best places to find remote jobs"

Is it possible to get a HTML or plaintext version for people who don't just run any non-free JS[1]? [1]: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html

Why not, I've been meaning to work on my vim macros. https://gist.github.com/danShumway/2c4cc6916ff8ed4d941ec64b5... No guarantee that this is up to date[1] (or even error free). I realize that Github Gists are also not Open Source, but they render without Javascript enabled, and Simplenote was acting up for me and wouldn't let me publish.

Thanks. (Viewable without non-free JS is fine)

would you be willing to pay for a proxy service that took a url that used non-free JS and rendered it to pure dom that you could then view without JS ? any sense of whether other people that care about such things would be willing to pay ?

Interesting idea, but I don't think anyone would pay for it. From a freedom perspective it would probably be considered SaaSS[0]. You could use wkhtmltopdf[1] for a service like that.
