Clean, fast design
From 2 comments
Love the design and how easy it is to use. The site is also fast. Feels like job boards are a category of product that lends themselves to niche offerings (although arguably…
ksen938 on HNThe web design is really good, that was the first thing I noticed. I then found that it's built by one of the co-founders and is called Untitled UI: https://www.untitledui.com

Useful concept for remote job seekers
From 2 comments
I like the concept. I almost built a slightly similar website as a side project, but never found the time to actually do it. The idea was similar (to include the tech stack and…
ryanSrich on HNI love that there is also a 4-day workweeks category under "Benefits" you can toggle! 4DWW FTW!

Objections
Cannot filter companies by country or location
From 4 comments
Seems like a site that I would like to use, but it didn't solve my problems. I wanted to be able to only see companies that were willing to hire people that live in the country…

ksen938 on HNWhy is there no way to filter for location? Every one I clicked on had a different requirement (US/Canada/AU-NZ)
ricardobayes on HNOn the linked subpage with tech stacks, I don't see a way to filter for country. This is relevant because even though it's 100% remote, there are different tax rules or even…

Tech stack data is inaccurate or out of date
From 2 comments
I'm not sure of the method you're using to obtain this data, but the listing for the company I work for has a wildly inaccurate tech stack. It's also pretty out of date on the…
glitchcrab on HNJust a bit of feedback: The first job I saw on the page proclaimed "48 tech stacks" which immediately horrified me. That is, until I clicked on it and realized it's 48 different…

No salary information
From 2 comments
Why is this data so focused on benefits and not salaries? Everything that company would buy for me I would buy myself if they only paid me enough.
golergka on HNNo salary information? I'm struggling to understand why someone would care at all about a "$1000 budget for your home office" when looking for six-figure and up jobs. It's work:…

Searching by tech stack does not show matching jobs
From 2 comments
This doesn't seem to be useful for job seekers currently, or am I misunderstanding the UI? I can show companies that use a given tech stack (among dozens of others), but not jobs…
oarfish on HNSearching by tech stack is only useful if they advertise for jobs in that tech stack.

Filter companies by country
From 3 comments
It would be extremely useful to be able to filter per country, as not all remote opportunities are available in all countries, but I guess a feature like this would have to…
andresp on HNMore feedback: - Order your dropdown alphabetically, it makes them easier to read and find information you care about. - (On jobs page) Type of work has a select all button but…
mrpotato on HNWhen the headline is "remote companies", but they typically have a list of countries you can work from, I would've expected the filter option to allow filtering by a subset of…

Filter by company size or industry
From 3 comments
I wish I could filter by employee count! I'm done with big-company BS.
phgn on HNIt would be useful to filter companies not in a certain industry. For instance Rust has a ton of jobs in crypto. A lot of people refuse to work in that space.
rapsey on HNNeat idea! It would also be nice to be able to exclude certain "stacks" - e.g., I want nothing to do with cryptocurrency.

Filter by seniority level

Looks nice, one problem I have encountered is that I dont have much work experience so I am looking specifically for non-senior software engineering, but other than explicitly…

Hide companies with no open positions
From 1 comment
How about a toggle to hide companies that have no open positions? Search was for .NET stack.

Questions
How is the tech stack data collected?
From 2 comments
What is your methodology to collect the tech stack data? Some things seem easy to identify, eg Google Analytics, and others much harder, eg back office like Microsoft Excel.
pete_nic on HNI wonder how did you retrieve all this data? Including the internal tools of each company.

Which API is the data from?
From 1 comment
Which API is this plugging into? Looking up just one job description, I get like twenty sites with the same position.

Very cool. Any plan to expand to non-remote companies? It could also be cool to collaborate with levels.fyi to create a one stop shop. Although maybe that's more work than it's…

Blind
From 1 comment
Benefits are pennies relative to compensation. I’d rather see anonymous compensation submissions. Or aggregate offers from Blind app.
