Working remotely? Time to relocate

If you’re new to remote work, the endless options of where you could move can give you FOMO.

The remote work revolution started “gradually, then suddenly,” as penned by Matt Mullenweg. Within a few weeks, everyone from Square to Shopify was announcing permanent or extended WFH policies.

Here's a list of tools for digital nomads looking for a change:

First, start out with the practical stuff. Take your list of dream cities and plug them into a Relocation Calculator to find how far your salary goes on the basics. 💸

If early retirement is high on your list, scout out cities with a lower cost of living with this Financial Independence Calculator. 🏖

Timezones become really important with a distributed team so you’ll want to look closely at timezone overlap with your teammates.⌚️

A little tip: plan a trial trip before you lock it in. Test out a new city first by staying at an Outsite with fellow nomads. 👋

All this said, it’s still a tricky time to move right now, especially internationally. Keep tabs on travel restrictions for countries on your dream list with MayWeLeave. ✈️

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
