Maker here. Most of the data is from HN with a small amount also coming from weworkremotely (thanks guys).

Accuracy is not very good e.g. we associate the listing to the first geographic location found on the post. Use it for fun but go to the original listing before applying for which a link is almost always provided.

Edit: Added the note to indicate that I am the maker of the linked site.

In case you like feedback, it seems to me the typo-tolerant location search is a bit too tolerant. I can't see the hits in the preview because they get swamped out by tons of not-really-very-near misses.

Thanks for the feedback. Could you please share what was your search term?

A few. First I tried "remote", in case that's a thing. Among the results was something in "Remse, Saxony, Germany". So, for a lark, I tried "Germany" and not one of the results in the preview box had "Germany" in them. The first one is in "Vermand, Picardie, France".

Oh. Thanks for letting me know. If you want to search for remote then Job type dropdown will help you filter on that or just click on the flying satellites on the map. Again appreciate your feedback.
