Yo! The idea behind this was simple - as a remote worker I wanted to know if other people were experiencing the same things as me... good and bad:
- Team calls in my pyjamas
- Lonely day-to-days
Then I talked with @ayrton and @syswarren about this idea and it has developed into Remote Stories. An anonymous platform for people to post their thoughts, experiences, concerns and opinions.
This is a place to see what others are going through, where you can comment back. People can see they are not alone in their experiences as a remote worker.
The eventual goal was to put together a guide of "things to consider when being a remote worker".... we just thought this would be a great starting project .
Let us know what you think!
Looks really really interesting (not a typo), one thing though, there's only one topic (Remote work). I would've love to talk about something else, choose a topic. But this, is another product like Secret. Question: is there a monitoring system for the quality of the submission you get, or anybody can post everything they want?
@tsunaze yeah...this site is supposed to be about one topic only as it is.
We see all the submissions and if something is not suitable/offensive/etc we will remove it.
Anonymous is a very hard thing to do, to do well, and at scale... but we also felt like having workers feel that they could share their experiences honestly was the best way to go.
