       | Congrats! I launched a job board recently too [1] specifically
       | for Anon Friendly jobs (jobs where you can work pseudonymously).
       | We have similar domain names :D
       | 
       | One thing you might want to look into is adding Structured Data
       | [2] for job postings. Doing so "makes your job postings eligible
       | to appear in a special user experience in Google Search results".
       | It could help you reach more people.

           | Good question. So many of these jobs all you to work
           | pseudonymously but your legal identity is still shared with
           | some members of the organization (like execs/HR/finance) for
           | onboarding purposes. Some just pay out in cryptocurrency to a
           | wallet address.

       | 
       | Would it be possible to provide a filter which enables you to
       | list jobs that do not have a physical location requirement? For
       | instance, if I live in Sweden, how can I see which remote jobs I
       | am eligible to apply for?

       | Hi HN,
       | 
       | I've designed the site based on what I wanted a couple of years
       | ago when I had been looking for a remote job. It's very early and
       | any feedback is appreciated.
       | 
       | I've also used this opportunity to reduce some of that front-end
       | framework fatigue by using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
       | 
       | Edit: I'll add location and salary filters as soon as I wake up
       | tomorrow

         | Echoing the other commenter, location filter would be a huge
         | improvement.

         | I think it'd be nice to have a way to sort/filter by locations

       | This is amazing. Thank you so much for making sure salary is

       | I love this, but want to make sure I'm not missing out on _all_
       | the possibilities.

       | Great font, reminds me of musicForProgramming [1] featured
       | recently.

       | I love the manually curated categories and how fast it is.
       | 
       | Some feedback:
       | 
       | 1) It's hard to tell where the job postings are crawled from. Are
       | they recent? Are they comprehensive? Are they fully remote? I
       | can't tell if it's even real data or just some sample postings
       | you put up to demo the UI. Some insight into your crawling
       | methodology would help with trustworthiness.
       | 
       | 2) There's no easy way to distinguish the companies from one
       | another, either in terms of their industry, their scale, their
       | rankings, etc.
       | 
       | 3) Lack of sorting/filtering makes it hard to drill down beyond
       | the basic category
       | 
       | It's a great start though, and thanks for putting this together!

         | 
         | 1) I used HN's June and July "Who is Hiring" threads as a
         | starting point and listed more jobs from the companies that
         | posted there. I manually listed only the jobs with a salary
         | range so there's no automatic crawling right now. I setup a
         | couple of scripts/pages to make the process very easy for me
         | though. All jobs listed are fully remote.
         | 
         | 2) There are also company pages for the jobs listed (e.g.
         | https://remotefriendly.com/companies/posthog.com/). They're
         | pretty basic right now but I plan to add a lot more detail in
         | the future.
         | 
         | 3) Definitely on the todo list. You can just use ctrl + f for
         | now since the since the site design is simple.

           | Re: 1) If sustainable for you, having a "human-curated jobs
           | board" would actually be a plus in my book! So much of
           | indeed, monster, etc. are spam, so a smaller but higher
           | quality listing would be awesome!
