Hey everyone š
Feels amazing to launch something I have been working hard for the past 2 months š š
Introducing Remote Shorts!
š° best bite-sized remote work content
ā±ļø saving hours of time spent searching & reading 1000-word articles
āļø daily newsletter of the hottest updates with a touch of personal commentary
A) What pushed us to build this?
These are the exact pain points I face while searching for good remote work content:
1. There aren't any topics or feeds that I can subscribe to, to receive alerts. For e.g. no topics on Twitter or Google News around 'Remote Work'.
2. I have to read entire articles and blog pieces before recognising if they are worth the time. As a result, I have to read content that I should never have to in the first place.
3. Twitter with its short-form content does tackle the above problem. But there's too much noise on my feed or even in the search results.
B) Our solution
So, I built a content feed exclusively for remote work. It is automated by default but is also curated by yours truly and my team!
Let's get into specifics:
1. Short & crisp: The feed is restricted to short-form content - currently only from Twitter. So, grab the best content in less than 280 characters.
2. Fresh: The feed gets updated every 3 hours. We have added a number of parameters and our secret sauce for content curation š.
3. Smooth read: To establish a smooth reading flow, we have categorised content for relevance and congruity.
4. Only the best: You will see a maximum of 10-12 tweets for a day, mostly much lower.
5. Trigger discussions: Start or join a discussion on the nuggets you like with just a single click.
C) How to use the feed?
This is quite obvious, but just humour me:
1. Feed: You can check out the feed page regularly. We have a helpful timer at the very top that tells you when the next update is coming in.
2. Morning mail: Alternatively, we will send you a daily email at 9AM ET for you to read with your morning coffee.
D) What's next
There's plenty of amazing updates, but here's a glimpse:
1. Infinite feed: Going beyond 3 days on the feed. I know the feed keeps you hooked and you want to keep browsing š
2. Add content sources: More awesome content sources and updates to our curation algorithm
Ah, nice catch. I was using the default twitter embed code earlier but the load was huge, in the range of 10-15s for >7-8 tweets on the page. So wrote custom CSS for this :)
Report
This is super relevant in the current times, I too often find it hard to find relevant remote work content that I can read while doing work! Great work!
Cheers Keith - glad you find this helpful :) Let me know if you have any feedback on the interface and/or content!
