Launched my side project

First off, awesome to finally be part of the open startup / build in public thing. Although this is just one person blogging about adding some code, it feels meaningful 😃

The problem: “My job is terrible”

I am a bean counter (accountant) by trade and I'm one of the lucky ones - I don't hate my job! Accountants have one of the lowest job satisfaction rates in the US. By talking with my peers over the years I'm not surprised - many are unhappy with their job, yet locked into it due to lifestyle creep.

The solution: A brand new thing

What I'm making has never been seen before! Especially not in the no-code world. It is a remote job board focused on bookkeepers and accountants.

Because accounting is fun! But terrible, 19th century workplaces often ruin the experience.

That's why I created Remotebee.

What I did

I built it! I spend the first two weeks building something in Bubble having a lot of fun along the way. As a no-coder it's incredible to have such an option.

It's still not easy and there is a significant learning curve but my gut tells me it's still a lot easier than:
