News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Thanks! Sounds like my routine tbh, and I also definitely did not enjoy the office - working remotely has been a blessing.
Thanks! Yup, I'm open to seeing what other activities we can include in the future. We started with what we know and needed most.

I'm worried about this becoming a "kitchen sink" of all activities and stuff. Also, if the point is to find any activities, why not use MeetUp? (that's a critique we often hear so would like to know what you think!)

Interesting, thanks!
Yup, I agree. I'm just wondering what do people concerned actually think and wanted to see the hive mind's views. If there really feels like it's a thing, going remote for top tech companies would be a complete game changer for so many.
Thanks! What about changing the location more often, i.e. nomading? Is this hugely distracting or once you settle in it's fine?

Great idea, adding stuff now!

Ask HN: Is remote work beneficial for neurodiverse individuals?

I've been reading plenty of articles around remote work being very beneficial for neurodiverse individuals and am wondering what do people who identify as neurodiverse think about it. Anyone on here who identifies as neurodiverse and wants to comment? Is it remote work or remote work with specific adjustments?And what about being a digital nomad (where you change locations on average every 3 - ...

Ask HN: A social app for remote workers/ nomads to buddy up for activities?

Hey, I'd love your thoughts. I'm building an app which allows digital nomads and remote workers to find other people who share their interests, e.g., surfing, rock climbing, hiking. The search works based on location (near me or specific hub, e.g. Corralejo) or interest (surfing, cycling, etc.).The goal is to find likeminded digital nomads/ remote workers online, ask questions on top spots for...

How is this different to existing professional associations (for pretty much any profession) which usually end up charging ridiculous fees?

What do you think – app to find other remote workers who like outdoor sports

I've been working remotely for a while and whilst I met some awesome people on the way, keeping in touch with them and meeting new people in new places has become increasingly difficult. Probably because I'm less keen than in the past to hang out in hostels, go out drinking, etc. and would rather find friends for sports or active things to do, e.g., hikes, surf, paddle, climbing, cycling, etc....

Often had this problem as a nomad (sometimes you find people you click with, but sometimes it's really lonely) and as I couldn't find any good app that would allow me to easily find people I actually liked between locations and to keep in touch with them as I moved on, I co-founded Revity App which helps remote workers and nomads find others who share their hobbies, connect online and then meet offline!

We need beta testers (I am about to make a post about this on here) so would be awesome to have you there for free: https://community.revityapp.com/plans/245832?bundle_token=83...

We're focused on people who like the outdoors, because 1. that's what we both love, 2. there's something about people who like outdoor sports and adventure activities that makes us get along with each other, across cultures and age.

Tech Stars has released a Venture Deals course which is an excellent introduction to how to raise investment and aims to level out the playing field for entrepreneurs vs VCs!
Not news (the article is from 2016!) but I learnt this recently and I imagine now the number is even worse after the pandemic and with kids playing less and less outdoors.

And this is also why we just launched the MVP of an online community for outdoorsy digital nomads to find each other, buddy up for activities and monetise their hobbies.
