I have to wonder why this whole segment has been avoided for so long, it's certainly an interesting lifestyle choice that many friends are picking these days
@davidiwanow because is a change of the "status quo" for companies. Also technology has advanced so so quick that it takes time for people, teams and companies to change their work "paradigm" since we mostly behave by analogy :) the time has come though! There's so much potential not only for people, but for companies & teams in general to be more productive, have a much wider choice, balance better their work & lifestyle to one they really love, etc.

@aleyda do you think people are also much more willing to take a risk...? I know options such as global sim cards and google translate make it much easier to survive outside of your comfort zone....

As more and more companies make the shift to remote working, there's definitely a lot of potential for this site, similar to Nomad List! Would be great if there was some community aspect to it in future - perhaps a forum, Slack group or similar? As you get more and more content, perhaps even PH-style upvoting of interviews/events/tools etc might be useful :)
I'd also recommend using CloudFlare (free plan). This would give quick load times for visitors no matter where they are in the world. If you're not familiar with CF, I'd be happy to help ;)
@aryehmaxx Yes, and thanks! Sorry for the inconvenience. This weekend we moved the site to a new server and we have been doing changes to improve performance, so you might have gone while we were doing the changes. We are still half way there... hopefully we will be completely done in the next few hours so it can be super fast and provide the best possible experience :)
