I would like to receive your application here: https://ideatostartup.org/join
You can read about the job and apply here: https://ideatostartup.org/join
We have written a blog about it: https://ideatostartup.org/blog/idea-to-startup/the-best-tech...
I am the founder of ideatostartup.org, which is a fully remote company.
What issues have you encountered?
Running a remote company has many advantages over non-remote companies. However, obviously it also depends on the sector the company is in. Remote only companies are possible only for a few sectors.
Did you lose a lot of productivity? Is it harder to grow the company?
The productivity in remote company is generally higher because only the best developers can thrive in a remote culture.
Is it harder to grow the company?
A remote can hire a professional from any location on Earth. If you know how to access the global talent correctly, it will be much easier to grow the company.
I don't have a partner but I'm a very extroverted person, so I think I should be fine in terms of loneliness?
Loneliness depends on the environment. If you stay alone in a house for long, you will definitely feel lonely. But, if you have good family or people who you can hangout with, you will enjoy working remotely even more.
Hope this was useful. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me.
I will give you some background about why we chose these technologies:
After working with several startups, we realized that almost all startups face one common problem:
They have to deliver the best product using the least amount of resources.
So, we were looking for technologies that would help us :
1. Build apps quickly using the least developer resources - (Save time and money) And 2. Build apps that are performant, scalable and reliable. - (Deliver Quality)
And the JS tech stack helps us fulfil both the aims. That’s why we chose it.
If you are into JavaScript, you should also check out : https://2018.stateofjs.com to know which JS technologies in general developers prefer the most.
I can't promise to get you hired but I will definitely point you in the right direction and try my best to help you out.
Feel free to reach out. The contact info is in my profile.
We are a remote only company and don't agree with this at all. People should have flexible working hours but others must know when they are working. It removes confusion and sets clear expectations.
Working remotely has neither affected the way I interact with people nor made anything difficult for me. However, it may be because I live with my family and they have a big social circle.
At Idea To Startup (https://ideatostartup.org/), we have developed a ui framework "One-Ui" which helps us write code that works on all platforms (Web, Android and iOS).
It has helped us immensely in reducing the time to develop apps.

To be effective, we have spent a huge amount of time on hiring the right candidates. (Our acceptance rate is less than 1%). We consider the following factors while deciding the right candidate for a distributed team:
1. Self learner. (Given sufficient time and guidance, you can learn any tech on your own using online resources.)
2. Talented and Hardworking. (Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. )
3. Responsible. (You take responsibility for all your actions in both success and failure and don't make excuses. )
4. Reliable. (People can rely on you. When given a task, they know you will do it to the best of your abilities)
Hope it helps. -Nikhil
Ask HN: Is Go the New Nodejs / JavaScript?
Many of the recent top articles on HN are about Go.Has building apps in Go suddenly become fashionable like it was in node a few years ago?
Someone is always doing something somebody else said was impossible. Try trying.
I wish good look to you. You have got a good brain and if you utilize it in constructive way instead of fantasizing criticisms, you will do far good to the society and to yourself.
One more thing, contrary to popular belief, there are many successful solo entrepreneurs out there. If you think you can learn about business legislation in Mexico, starting up as a single founder is also an option. You can bring in others later.
Thanks
