Hey HN!

Some months ago I made a bot to find remote jobs for myself. Now I made a product of it and it posts jobs to 50+ Telegram channels, with more than 1500 users in total

It's focused in getting high-quality, senior-only remote roles

If you're not on Telegram, you can also get the same jobs via email creating an alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true (it shares the backend with the Telegram channels)

Would love to hear what you think!

Curious how you decided to use Telegram for this. Seems like a neat idea.

Don’t know if Telegram lets you edit old posts, but would be nice to see if a job has been filled.

Neat idea? I'm not sure. Why isn't it simply a web page?

I like the possibility of reaching people directly, instead of them having to visit a web page.

>> I like the possibility of reaching people directly, instead of them having to visit a web page.

I don't follow - wouldn't a reguilar web page be the most direct way to communicate? Everything else is an added barrier, or do you mean 1-on-1 direct?

Hmm, glancing at the screenshots at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#plans, it seems that it's not always very good at distinguishing jobs offered from jobs wanted in people's twitter posts.

Oh damn, I have to update those. They were taken like 5 months ago, now it's much better. Thanks for reminding it to me

Ok, I uploaded a photo of how the mails look like now - much better than the old pics. You can see it at https://findmegigs.com/assets/images/gallery01/d9a6787e_orig...

>if Telegram lets you edit old posts

It does.
