Yo, what up Product Hunt team!!🤙 Tom here from Shred Index👋, What's Shred Index? This is a ski bum index, life affordability, and comparison guide similar to Nomad List, to help find the best ski resorts to live, work and shred. Soo...how did this come about???🤔🤔🤔 I was 'chillin' in my car one day, being a typical dirty ski bum ⛷️ and listening to some podcasts 🎧(Pieter Levels and Alan Courtland on Indie Hackers in particular). When I heard Pieter was a junglist I was like wow this guy is cool (didn’t expect to hear a fellow junglist on this podcast😂). So, I decided to check out his product Nomad List. Coincidentally, I was also a (junglist)drum n bass producer🎛️ from a few years back and had just started working remotely as a web dev for a couple of months. Anyway, this idea (Shred Index) really spoke out to me. I felt like I needed to build this, for both self-development 💪(learning to code 🤓) and also because I wanted this product to available for myself and for some of my friends in the ski community. Even if this product isn't successful, it has been an excellent project to work on. I have learned so much from building this and I would also like to thank all the indie hackers out there that have been so inspirational. 👊 Big up yourselves!

Good luck with this! I think something that was missing from my own Ski Resort List (RIP) was a community. Data +community = sponsors!

Love this idea and would like to see more vertical specific products focused on activities for digital nomads. E.g. surf and work, house boat and work.

@rrhoover Those are some interesting ideas, I have never thought about living on a boat and working remotely. Would be fun!

This is great, well done. I would love to see a community element around this, so I can connect with other like minded people in Truckee or Mammoth or wherever and get together to brainstorm, or work on projects. I am moving back to Truckee next summer and the thing I'm worried about is losing out on the community around tech/startups that I have where I'm at currently. It would be great to find a new community to be a part of beyond just my ski buddies.

Love the idea, I lived in Revelstoke last year and loved it but would have like that there were more digital nomads there to hang out with. The login with Google is broken, check that out

@xoel_lopez_barata Revy! Nice choice Xoel, I think if I were to do another season this year it would have to be Revelstoke also. I just been stressing hard about the google login, but can't get it to error out... wonder if anyone else if having difficulty with it? I'll have to investigate a bit more. Any-who, thats wicked that you are a nomad and hitting the slopes, would love to have a chat with you one day if your keen?

Love it! It's something I've been missing actually. Would make sense for me to be able to select very quickly a filter for "Europe, North America..." Etc. Also "Internet Quality" should have its own score as it's still not given in all places around the world. And if I could hope for just one more thing it would be "sidecountry availability" in addition to backcountry.

@harzzn Hey Harry, thanks for your input. I'll likely put in the option to sort by continents in a week or so😁😁😁. Internet is a good one too, sidecountry aka slackcountry? Very good points🙏🙏🙏 I'll add them in🤙🤙
