Ask HN: What current startups are totally distributed workspaces?

I'm curious 1) because I'm looking for a cool job and 2) because of the recent debate about Yahoo! and remote work.

For what it's worth, I just launched http://remojobo.com this weekend. It's a remote job board for web nerds. You might find it helpful.

Why is there nothing between the text and the background? The Background is cool looking, and the website seems really useful, but the text being directly on the background makes it difficult to read (and distracting).

Yeah, that's a good point. I'm making the photo darker right now, to hopefully increase the contrast.

A lot of startups are contacting me to put up job listings and they're fine with remote workers.

You can start seeing the jobs as I post them up: http://blog.goodsense.io/jobs-and-projects

Sorry to be competing with charliepark, above :-) I also just launched a remote job board at http://hirethere.com. I think we're pulling in some of the same posts, tho.

Just saw you on front page, very timely, thanks.

I would like to know too. I'd like to work on interesting tech projects, but right now I'm stuck in a country whose tech scene is the opposite of vibrant.

Message me if there are any remote Python opportunities :)

if you're not a cofounder and it's totally distributed you should probably be a little nervous... I'm totally against banning remote work (I'm a remote worker now) but there is definite value in a central nexus.
