Show IH: Curating Job Boards for Digital Nomads
After some months of headaches, JS problems, discontinued meteor libraries and a lot of urges to quit and build something else...
I finally launched my first product for digital nomads! 🙌
Right now, everything is free and I'm looking for any feedback or feature you would like to have on RemoteList. 😁
The biggest thing I want on these sites is the ability to find jobs that aren't standard 9-5's. I'm most interested in part time roles or contract positions.
That’s a good idea!
What all goes into the curating, as you put it?
From what I saw, hanging out with a lot of DMs in Chiang Mai and Saigon, the biggest problem is that there just isn't much demand for entry or even mid-level remote jobs and most people looking for remote jobs are very junior.
Right now, we are curating 'job boards' with a niche on Remote Jobs. I'll add your comment as feedback for our job board, which is constantly looking for remote jobs in larger job boards, maybe I could create a new filter for only 'entry-level' positions.
Congrats!
I think you should get the English straight, for eg, I see things like":
"2 users approves", it should be: "2 users approve".
Or maybe change the wording, so you don't have to have if/then clause in your code (if plural, then use "approve" instead of "approves"), to something like: "Number of approvals:".
Thank you, I’ll fix that! :)
My congrats to your launch on PH!
But I have a question, even 2:
G'luck!
Thank you :)
1- I’ve been developing this project since months ago, mainly because of distractions and work. So I just decided to go for the Levels way, and I just ship it.
2- I don’t know too much about PH, I usually follow their products on twitter and with the app but nothing more. I know that hunting your own product is not “that bad” but I didn’t know I could ask to another user to hunt my product.
Is better if another user hunt my product?
What I heard it's much better to find some "famous" hunter and "make" him launch your product. It's not easy but the result is more noticeable (and your product is too :) You can find many articles on Internet describing how to launch on PH properly - there are several reefs to avoid.
Right now, RemoteList is the #1 product of the day, so I don't think a famous hunter is needed.
