Show HN: Remote workers find your crew
2 points by fcpguru 4 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
Working from home? Are you a remote employee that "misses" going to the office?

Well let's be clear on what you actually miss. No one misses that feeling of having to go and be there 8 hours. But many people miss friends. They miss being part of a crew. Going to lunch, hearing about other people's lives in person not over zoom.

Join a co-working space you say? Yes. We have. It's like walking into a library and trying to talk to random people and getting nothing back. Zero part of a crew feeling.

This app helps you find a crew and meet up for work and get that crew feeling.

This is my first time using cloudflare workers for a webapp. The free plan is amazing! You get so much compare to anything else out there in terms of limits. The sqlite database they give you is just fine, I don't miss psql.

How?

This just seems like a database?

I feel you're missing the key point of why a lot of people LIKE remote work. It doesn't tie you up into making forced relationships with others that you don't have to and can just focus on getting things done.

Now, you might say, but what if you are making genuine relationships with others that you do like? Then I would say it's just friendship 1.0, not something inorganic like this.


huh. point taken. yeah maybe I have trouble making friends without that forced environment.

a crew work on something together. they accomplish hard things, which builds a bond. they have a common goal, struggle at it, celebrate success.

it is deeper than having lunch.


yeah, this is true. I really miss many of the early day startups I was part of. But leaving my well paying remote job to chase that isn't something I can do anymore. Hoping to re-create the best of both worlds but we'll see...

all of the best!
