This is great! I like that the focus is on companies (regardless of their hiring status), rather than job listings. When I started searching for remote positions a while back, I was more interested in finding a good <i>company</i> first, not necessarily a company that happened to have an open remote position at that particular point in time. So once I found a place that I liked, I'd add it to my notes and check their site from time to time (or if I really liked what they were doing, I'd get in touch directly). For me at least, that seemed to be more effective than constantly checking remote job sites.<p>For anyone else who's in the same boat, here are a few similarly helpful resources:<p><a href="https://github.com/jessicard/remote-jobs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jessicard/remote-jobs</a><p><a href="http://workingremote.ly/leaders/distributed-companies/" rel="nofollow">http://workingremote.ly/leaders/distributed-companies/</a><p><a href="https://triplebyte.com/ycombinator-startups#q=&page=0&refinements=%5B%5D" rel="nofollow">https://triplebyte.com/ycombinator-startups#q=&page=0&refine...</a><p><a href="https://stayintech.com/info/explore" rel="nofollow">https://stayintech.com/info/explore</a> (The companies on this list aren't all remote, but I'm including it anyway since diversity + inclusivity were also among my criteria.)
If anybody ever needed an answer to the question "will my startup/product be useful for the world?", take a look at this example/product.<p>This product doesn't seem like a startup-driven idea, but it addresses a serious pain-point for people (more specifically: developers) looking for (remote) jobs in a way that is required to find the right job:<p>> Using filters to narrow down to a subset of companies to apply to<p>Great job on this product, it is a great alternative to having to wait 30 days for each "Who is Hiring" without a guarantee that many remote companies who are hiring will post on that HN thread.
While I was hunting for a remote developer job last December, it was hard to find the company that really suited me.<p>Due to the isolating nature of remote working, it's important to know how the remote team communicates (Slack, email, Skype, Phone call...), and how they collaborate (Dropbox, Google Doc, Git, ...). The purpose of this project is to answer those questions and beyond.<p>I also wrote an article on this project: <a href="https://sungwoncho.io/i-am-making-remotebase/" rel="nofollow">https://sungwoncho.io/i-am-making-remotebase/</a>
Pretty confusing as someone who's familiar with NomadList and RemoteOK (both by the same developer and which this borrows heavily, visual-design wise...)<p>That said, I like the filtering functionality built in to this more than what's available with RemoteOK.<p><a href="https://remoteok.io" rel="nofollow">https://remoteok.io</a>

This is great. One question/comment: I'm a bit confused as to what "100% remote" means in this context. Github is listed as 100% remote, but I'm pretty sure it has an office.
I started manually curating a list[1] while I was searching for a remote job. I abandoned it when I got a job. :-(<p>This one is awesome. Best Wishes.<p>1. <a href="http://oinam.github.io/remote-teams/" rel="nofollow">http://oinam.github.io/remote-teams/</a>
I cannot find a filter for Mobile Development (Swift, Objective-C, iOS in general). I would use the site, but I cannot find the positions for me.
Also - clear text search would be useful, too.
This is great and thank you for making it. One suggestion: hiring region does not work as I would expect it to. If company is hiring worldwide, then surely it is also hiring in every region. Right now I can get a bunch of results for a worldwide query and 0 for otherwise same one, but limited to Europe.
This is the best thread I've seen in a while - it will be really helpful if I decide to get back on the market. Working remotely full time instead of just the occasional day or two seems ideal for me.<p>Somewhat related, but reading that book "Quiet" about introversion really made me feel validated on my feelings of hatred towards the modern open office, and how important it is as a dev (or most people really) to have a quiet, private place to work.
I would love to see a default column of 'authoratative timezone' or something like that. This is a very useful tool and would be better if I could look at companies that were on a certain timezone.<p>As an engineer, timezone differences are one of my top annoyances. If I want to rapid fire discuss something with an engineer I want to do it now, not this weird game of delayed/janky ping pong.
Nicely done!<p>Minor nitpick: your wait-for-dynamic-content spinner (<a href="https://remotebase.io/images/logo.png" rel="nofollow">https://remotebase.io/images/logo.png</a>) exhibits eccentric rotation, which might make some people a bit seasick :-)
I love the "Flexible Timezone" filter.<p>It puzzles me that companies insist on remote workers working to specific timezones. Having everyone work the same hours seems to negate a key advantage of remote workers - ideally while you are sleeping, progress is still being made on your projects by the various remote teams. They should be able to work independently, asynchronously.<p>I can understand if they are remote support roles, where you want to ensure you always have staff to deal with enquiries. But for most roles, it seems more important that the work gets done, rather than that the entire team are tied to Slack / Skype at exactly the same hours.
Awesome list. Great job!<p>As an addition, here is another extensive database of remote companies worth looking at: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TLJSlNxCbwRNxy14Toe1PYwbCTY7h0CNHeer9J0VRzE/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TLJSlNxCbwRNxy14Toe1...</a> It was put together by Remotive.io [<a href="http://remotive.io/" rel="nofollow">http://remotive.io/</a>] and found on nodesk.co [<a href="http://nodesk.co/" rel="nofollow">http://nodesk.co/</a>], lots of good remote work info there as well.
A small tldr about what does a company do would be helpful. At least a filter which sector they operate in. Most of the names do not ring any bells for me, but usually I have a some ideas about what I do/not want to do.
Great job! One note: a few of the images/logos are broken. Example: <a href="https://remotebase.io/reinteractive" rel="nofollow">https://remotebase.io/reinteractive</a>
Great idea, and nicely implemented.<p>One suggestion: one field in the "add new company" form asks to list the tools in our stack. How about in addition to that, you optionally link to a company's StackShare? We keep track of all of our tools there to give a comprehensive overview of what we use, so that will stay more up to date over time I think.<p>Here's an example, from my company: <a href="http://stackshare.io/third-iron/third-iron" rel="nofollow">http://stackshare.io/third-iron/third-iron</a>
This is nice, but just by reading the title I thought "wasn't there a few sites doing this already?"<p>The top one coming to my mind at the time being (which I'm surprised to not see in this thread already, considering the usual popularity of remote/rework/basecamp stuff on HN): <a href="https://weworkremotely.com/" rel="nofollow">https://weworkremotely.com/</a><p>Still, nice personal achievement in terms of developing and delivering a product.
This is great! I would also like to see a short description of what the company does in the main list. It would make it faster for me to find relevant companies. For example, I have zero interest in working for a social media company. Given the current UI, I need to look at every company in detail in the list to figure out who is not doing social media.
Very nice, very beautiful but I find this of limited use.<p>Firstly I have to look at every job page individually. So I'd rather look at remoteok.io for that. I guess this is good for speculative applications, but is it a good use of my time trolling through 100's of companies sending out speculative applications?<p>Secondly I am not in the US or on US time zone so there would be little relevant to me anyway.
Great Job Sung, I think with more users/visibility the list can be more easily curate and updated. I was using remoteok but got buggy lately and some jobs are really old. What is interesting about remotebase is that gives you a little look inside the company and tools they are actually using to collaborate and their stack as well. For sure more tech tags options are missing.
I don't think it was already mentioned, but whoishiring also has filter for remote jobs <a href="https://whoishiring.io/search/30.864/-43.242/2/?remote=true" rel="nofollow">https://whoishiring.io/search/30.864/-43.242/2/?remote=true</a> (link set to filter remote jobs only).
This is absolutely fantastic and wonderfully useful for so many! I only work remote jobs due to medical reasons(I have cystic fibrosis) and seeking suitable remote work is just an annoying layer added to the task, this is a really wonderful resource and I look forward to using it. Thanks to the author for creating this!
This is great! Would it be possible to display the pitch of each company as an @title when mousing over the company name, as to give an idea of what each company does?
This is a really cool idea with a lot of potential. I think with a bit more work it could be super useful to a lot of people. First thing I noticed was that it isn't always up to date with companies hiring. Clicking on one that was hiring, the website said that they were no longer accepting applications. Anyways, keep up the good work!
This is really sleek. Does anyone know of open source resources for setting up a database frontend app similar to this? The filter views have been done so nicely here, it would be cool to take that idea and apply it to other areas (drill down through employees, etc)
Probably worth stealing from/working with the guys at <a href="http://www.golangprojects.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.golangprojects.com</a> as they often have remote jobs and I note there's no golang on your tech filters.
Very small suggestion: get rid of that progress/animation in company details. The one that makes you wait couple of seconds every time you open the tab to see remote percentage and so on.
I can't find a search box to check if my company is listed. Do I really have to load more until I pull the entire database and then use browser search?
