Thanks! :)
This is kind of the story behind RemoteTogether for anyone interested!

Completely agree!
Hmm. I didn't quite realize that, honestly. I don't plan to monetize hi.remotetogether.com. I could maybe see ads at some point on there? But that's about it. I have other monetization strategies. Like create an actual product.

Also, I would say what Levels.io has done with nomadslist.com is exceptional. I've used it for a couple of trips (Vacations - DigitalNomad-ing) I've been on. I realize you may not be a big fan of him, but he's done some good! Just food for thought.

Thanks for the responses though. Very. Very. Very. Insightful. Things I hadn't considered.

Yeah - very true. I would say if you're a digital nomad you should join https://join.nomadlist.com/.

Looks like a great community and if I were a Digital Nomad I would join. But if you work from home I'd love to have a network around that... And that's why I've created RemoteTogether.

yeah - no problem. This isn't quite for Digital Nomads really. Honestly, I think digital nomads already have a community... I work from home. I don't work from other countries really.

So my vision is to create a community of Remote workers. http://levels.io has done a great job of creating a community for Digital Nomads. RemoteTogether is more for the people who work from home and spend upwards of 10 hours at home working.

Looks like an issue with DNS. Resolving now. :)
I'm looking at this right now! :)

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Awesome! Sign up. Would love to talk more!
So hi.remotetogether.com is a community and support group, but I'm going to eventually create products around RemoteTogether.

The forum is just the start. Also have some podcasts coming soon. Sorry for the confusion.

Any chance you could send me a screenshot of what you're getting? [email protected]

hi.remotetogether.com should work. Got to resolve this problem. :)

Oh! Good call.

Below is kind of "my story" in a way. I'm going to put up a medium article with the full thing. :)

Re:Ask HN: Do you have rough days while working remote? on Saturday January 23, 2016 @03:15PM (#10959872)
Ha. Very nice! It looks like you guys have great practices in place to overcome the alone thing.

So I'm envisioning my organization supporting people who work remote in three ways. Let me know if anyone of them pops out or none.

1.) A podcast around working remote the awesome sides and the downsides. I've scheduled several with a couple of different people.

2.) A support network for people who work remote.

3.) A working retreat to a fancy place for people who.. work remote.

Thanks for the responses guys!

Ask HN: Do you have rough days while working remote?

Hey all! I've been working remote for 6+ years and have observed that some days get hard (Not the movie :). Am I alone in this?I'm trying to gauge if my new organization is worth pursing or not. It's https://www.remotetogether.com/Would love any personal or professional feedback!

Good call! Didn't think about importing them into a lightweight database.

Ask HN: Does anyone know of a REST API for monthly precipitation in the US?

I'm looking to create a web app around precipitation in the US by state or zip code in at least a month, but bi weekly or even weekly would be fine too. Does anyone know of any public REST APIs that would have this data? I've been scouring data.gov and can't seem to find any usable REST API.Also, does anyone know of a already existing service that does this well? If so feel free to let me know.
