Hello! After a lot of work, I’m proud to announce that remote.io is now globally distributed thanks to Cloudflare Worker Sites and Cloudflare KV storage. This transition has helped us achieve sub-second load time throughout the site by having our data at the edge.
If you’re interested in the journey, I’ve outlined the build process to date in the following blog post (also hosted at the edge):
Thanks for the report! I will temporary cut the listing price in half to make up for the trouble.
I believe it may be a cache issue from our original build and you having visited previously. If you could, please hard-refresh (Ctrl+F5) or visit the job portal directly: https://portal.remote.io/
I'll work on a quick temporary fix as well.
If your issue persists, please contact us with the address of the page that you were on previously when you clicked to post so we can investigate further.
A future goal is to implement salary estimation based on the job role. The hope is to do something similar to Payscale but based on the salaries provided for the listings which contain salary info and geographic location of the companies.
Yeah, we both use the Google font named Pacifico. I may change it but a font change is pretty low on my priorities list.
The listings come from feeds of numerous job sites and applicant tracking systems. I run them through custom filters to pull out the ones that are specifically remote-friendly.
Zero traffic? It's far from zero traffic. The domain was averaging 1k unique visitors per day before there was even a site from typo's while people were looking for other remote job sites. That's actually what convinced me to finally develop it.
I initially launched it in September but that was more of a soft launch to see if it would be worth my time and the traffic has been increasing. The past 2 days have been a bit higher with this HN post and averaged between 4-5k unique visitors / day.
I wouldn't say using the same font for a part of it is "almost a carbon copy" but yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I'll be updating the text form of the branding soon though.
There's an entire industry around that called Cash Parking. There's at least four different remote job sites with similar domains that I receive traffic (and email) for if you'd like to look those up to make some more pointless comments.
I recently heard about this racket, did not realise how developed it was. And I find it really amusing. So...please link them too. Not sure why people are so against it? The site you are slightly ripping off is not original.
