Show HN: A quiz for companies/people to learn about tools for remote work

letsgoremote.ca
I built letsgoremote.ca over the weekend and will admit it is a little rough around the edges so I would absolutely love any feedback or ideas to improve the experience.
The reason why I built this was to help newly "remote-ized" companies or individuals to go through a quick quiz and learn about some of the tools that are available to them. I assume a lot of you are remote work experts, but these tools/services are completely foreign to a large part of the population and this part of the population are the ones that we are really trying to help in some fashion.
You can read more about the mission here: https://letsgoremote.ca/mission
If you have any feedback/ideas or want to help in anyway either pop on over to https://letsgoremote.ca/help or respond in the comments here.
Hope this can be helpful to at least someone!

Is there a direction to learn a bit more about what your current technology stack is to access the "blind spots"? Right now it seems like it treats you as if you have 0 tech.
Some great ideas, stay tuned, I will be trying to add this alongside a lot of the other bits of feedback we have gotten from users so far.

I like your design choices here. Did you use an off-the-shelf theme, a toolkit like Bootstrap/Tailwind, or is it all custom?
Everything is custom.
Also, what’s the usecase for this? Quick googling can shove products in your face if you are lost on tools.
Our goal is certainly not to list overpriced SaaS if there is a FOSS equivalent that is just as good if not better. So if you have any specific examples you saw please let us know here and I will make those updates ASAP!
The use case for this is targetted towards people that don't even know what to google to get started. Us tech people have the amazing luxury of being around these products on a day-to-day basis and being able to at least be informed on what the SaaS landscape that's available to them looks like, but if you are moving remote for the first time, you don't know what you don't know, and you might not even be able to kick-off that initial google search.
That is who we hope to be able to help, at least kick off the process of understanding what types of tools are available to them to make that remote experience a little be better.
