remoteintech/remote-jobs

What it is

Remote In Tech is the source for remoteintech.company, a community-maintained directory of remote-friendly tech companies. Each company is stored as a Markdown entry, and the site is generated from those entries, so browsing the directory and contributing to it happen against the same data.

It suits job seekers who want to browse remote-friendly companies in tech, and contributors who want to add or correct a company listing. The repository itself is the website's code and content, not a job board with live postings.

Quick start

To run the site locally, install Node.js 22 or newer, then from the project root:

npm install
npm run start

The dev server runs with hot reload; npm run build produces a production build (development commands).

To add a company, create src/companies/{slug}.md, fill in the frontmatter, run npm run build, and open a pull request. The contributing guide documents the frontmatter template, valid field values, required sections and the checks the validation bot performs; the bot comments on a PR with issues to fix.

Constraints

• Node.js 22+ is required for local development and builds (README).
• Company entries must follow the frontmatter and section rules in the contributing guide; automated validation runs on pull requests.
• The site is built with Eleventy Excellent by Lene Saile (credits).
• The repository is distributed under the ISC license (license).

HotRepo's take

The project has been around since 2015 and reached 41,089 stars with 3,964 forks. In the weekly JavaScript ranking recorded on 2026-11-07 it placed 12th and added 125 stars, so the directory continues to draw attention well beyond its early years. Discussion has been thin: a 2020 Hacker News thread drew one comment, with a commenter half-jokingly suggesting it would be easier to list companies that still insist on office attendance (comment), and a 2025 Show HN post drew no comments. The lasting value here is the maintained company data and the simple contribution workflow, not a large or active discussion community.
