Remote working resources

Hey Hackernews! My names Olly (a Designer from the UK). I’ve been a long time lurker on Hackernews but now I finally have something to share with the community. Along with my friend Oliver (Developer, Sweden/Japan) we have been working on Remotewise.io. It’s a new resource and learning platform dedicated to remote work. We’ve both been working remotely for most of our careers. Over this time remote work has been gaining huge momentum as a viable and desirable way to work and we believe it’s the future. We’ve been working on this during our evenings and weekends in between our full-time…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey Hackernews! My names Olly (a Designer from the UK). I’ve been a long time lurker on Hackernews but now I finally have something to share with the community. Along with my friend Oliver (Developer, Sweden/Japan) we have been working on Remotewise.io. It’s a new resource and learning platform dedicated to remote work. We’ve both been working remotely for most of our careers. Over this time remote work has been gaining huge momentum as a viable and desirable way to work and we believe it’s the future. We’ve been working on this during our evenings and weekends in between our full-time remote roles, so we’re really excited to be putting it out for you guys. We’d really appreciate any feedback as I’m sure many of you are remote workers yourselves or thinking about going that route. You can check it out here: https://remotewise.io So, why did we create Remotewise.io? We noticed it was often tricky and time consuming to find quality and relevant content about remote work and the companies which champion it. We wanted to create a focused, discoverable and beautifully curated list of resources so that you can learn from the leaders in the industry, what it takes to work as a highly effective remote team and how to nurture a healthy remote culture. We see the site as a learning and discovery platform that in the process helps you find the best company fit for you, hopefully taking the pain out of searching for that perfect remote role. We’re launching a weekly newsletter too so if you’re into it sign up and receive the latest updates. We’ll also be bringing you founding stories and leadership interviews in the coming weeks and months. This is just the start of our journey, there’s loads more to come. We’d love to hear your feedback as it’s really early days for us and we’re excited about where we could take it. You can also reach us at [email protected] or tweet us @remotewise. Massive thanks, Olly & Oliver

    Created a Job Board for Remote Programming Jobs2010 · ▲23

    Based on the multiple "Who's hiring remotely?" and similar posts on HN, I thought it might be useful to have a site that aggregates remote programming jobs. There is way too much spam out and an inconsistent way to say "work from home" so traditional searching doesn't work (or rather, takes a long time per person). I've worked in a few remote programming positions so I figured I might know of some companies or searching tricks to find them. Let me know if you'd find this type of thing useful. If we can get some traffic going, then maybe we can start attracting companies to actually list…

    Sprout9 – a platform for students to find tutors2021 · ▲78

I would like fellow hackers to give me some constructive feedback on my MVP please. Ideas and suggestions as how I can improve my version 1.0 and how I can get the word out so I can help many students as possible. Thanks alot! Azaan

    soft-launching one of my pet projects2011 · ▲27

    So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)

    I wrote a book about how to work remotely2021 · ▲12

    Hey all. Today the book on remote working that I wrote for The Pragmatic Bookshelf has gone into beta. It's called Effective Remote Working. I didn't plan on writing a second book, but 8 months ago during a conversation with the publisher we agreed that it was the right time for a book like this. My first book was Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager, which I did a Show HN on before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22033129 That book has so far been successful with lots of great reviews and over $100,000 in net sales. A beta book with PragProg means that you…

    HackerBuddy.com2011 · ▲14

    I built HackerBuddy.com with the idea of helping the Hacker News community get one-on-one help with fellow hackers that know their stuff. It matches up people that are good at a particular skill (Ruby on Rails, Python, beta-testing, general startup advice etc) with people that need that specialist help. All it does is swap your email address so that hackers can give fellow hackers one-on-one advice. I built the site as a way to learn Ruby on Rails, I'm still a bit green when it comes to coding so there's a very good chance that the server will fall over. Any feedback you guys have would be…
