I currently run a remote job board called Remote Circle.
Until now, we've had a single email go out every week which we call the "bulletin". Everybody got the same email, no customisation whatsoever. Pretty rubbish.
Custom job alerts has been on our roadmap for a while but we've taken our time on getting it built because it seemed like such a big task and we wanted to focus on other areas, like getting more jobs. Other remote job boards offered more personalised job alerts, but in our eyes they still weren't personal enough. Being able to get job alerts by job category still isn't enough when looking at remote jobs. We wanted our alerts to be as flexible as our site. It's this level of customisation that our users have come to love us for and we wanted that to be replicated in our job alerts. So our job alerts are actually just as customisable as search on Remote Circle is. As always, we will only send you jobs from companies that are hiring in your Timezone. On top of that, you can also specify:
Which job category you would like to see jobs from
What type of jobs you want (permanent, contract or part-time)
️ ️ Which keywords you want the jobs to include e.g. "javascript" or "translation"
And even what company you would like to receive jobs from. For example, you might only want jobs from Buffer and nobody else
And of course you can decide to receive these alerts in your inbox every week or every weekday(we don't bother you on weekends).
It's super easy to add your job alert too. Just search for jobs on Remote Circle as you normally would and then hit the Create alert button, the alert will be created for your current search parameters. Choose your email frequency(week/weekday) and your done.
And that's it!
We hope this will make it even easier to find remote jobs so that you don't need to keep coming back to Remote Circle to check for updates. Instead, you get the alert and can be first to apply.
If you have any feedback, please just let me know.
Hey hey! I recently built a no code prototype that helps soccer coaches manage youth teams. Most youth football clubs (in the US) use a variety of manual systems that are, well, pretty rough. I wanted to explore a mobile app option that would make things easier.
Inspiration for the idea came from a few sources. One of my clients (I’m a writer for tech startups) challenged me to build something with no code. After I seriously struggled to come up with any good ideas, my husband, a licensed soccer coach, helped me pinpoint a few painful problems in his niche.
As far as experience, I used to be a Digitial Project Manager at a WordPress agency, and I did leverage a WordPress theme to build my own site. So I have some familiarity with websites. But I wouldn’t at all say I’m “proficient” in the actual build process. And I’m certainly not proficient in app-building, programming, or coding!
I’m currently working on a fun little no code website project in Webflow, but you’ll have to keep an eye out on Twitter and Product Hunt for that one...
I had been struggling to connect with other founders building without code and decided to setup a Slack group to see if there is anyone else out there in the same position.
So I’ve set up a Slack group called No Code Founders with the hope of it being a place where like-minded business owners and makers who are building products without code can come together to share tips, questions, best practices and support each other’s launches and growth. While there is a channel for technical questions, a lot of the chat will be about “everything else” related to building products without code. e.g. launching, marketing, scaling etc. The community has grown very quickly and it would be great to connect with more no code founders and makers.
To start with, I’ve just added a few channels for discussion. These are:
- Introductions - for saying hello
- General - for talking about anything no-code related
- Lets-Work - for sharing work progress, to-dos and questions
- Showcase - for showing off and helping others get their product out there
New channels can be added as we go. Are there any more that could be useful initially? If so, just let me know below.
I’ve built this on Slack to keep things simple as I know a lot of us already use it.
Let me know if there is anything else you would like to see added.
