Hello guys, I have created two new channels which I think would be useful going forward.

#communityfeedback

We are a fledgling community, and in order to mature to a better one, I will need your support, feedback and creativity 🙂

#ourwork

Use this channel to share your projects, articles.

is this rescuetime app?

I guess it's on @calm-grass-85557 👊 ✊

I wrote a note at the start of year during my Rajasthan trip describing the 5 things that will have made 2017 amazing . 3 months to go and I still have a long way to go 😸 ✅ A foreign trip ❓ Finding life partner ❓ Learning to read Bengali ❓ Learning to drive a car ✅ Keeping the remote dream alive

Hello .. have a great day guys ☕

https://www.nomadbase.world/the-island/ ⬅️ Seems to be a interesting project .. anyone heard of it ?

Hey guys, An update from my side. Not a good one though. I fell sick on Monday, after leaving Koh Lanta. I somehow managed to get myself to India. Was surely one of the toughest days of my life. The fever and body aches are still there. And I suspect it's dengue as the island had a history of such cases. I got my blood tests done yesterday. Gonna get my reports tonight. Ready for the worst. Good thing is I am at home. Hope you guys are doing better 🙂

Ouch take care man, damn dengue is serious make sure you get some supervision at the earliest

Hi guys, I have recovered from my illness and am remotely productive ( Pun intended 😛 ) How are things going at your end ?

Hey @calm-grass-85557 hope you are better now! I quit my job and am starting out as a remote content and brand consultant :)

I am reading the book "Community: The structure of belonging" and found three quotes based on which I would like to build the remoteindian community.

“The opposite of belonging is to feel isolated and always (all ways) on the margin, an outsider. To belong is to know, even in the middle of the night, that I am among friends.”

“Hospitality is the welcoming of strangers, and generosity is an offer with no expectation of return. These are two elements that we want to nurture as we work to create, strengthen, and restore our communities. This will not occur in a culture dominated by isolation, and its correlate, fear.”

“Every time we gather becomes a model of the future we want to create.”

Sure there is a lot of work to be done in building this community, but if the vision is right we will get there for sure 🚀 simple smile

<!here> Quite keen to know your answers

Hello! I've been absent for a while. So, I am back to working remotely! *phew!

Joined this company called Mogul tech as a consultant for branding ans social media. Work has been awesome and fun so far! :)

How is everyone doing? :)

Hey Sandhya, I have been doing well. Right now in Pune for a month as I need to sell my

MH-numbered

bike as the remote lifestyle does not support keeping a bike when I am away from home for long periods 😛 Also getting to spend some quality time with my my good friend before he gets married 😄

In other updates, I am working on a side project which helps people to watch youtube videos in sync (even though you are in different locations). The basic idea is to build an elixir clone of

watch2gether

app (which is in ruby) and the learning has been great 🙂

For this forum, I have decided to send out a newsletter soon, hopefully that sparks some conversations 🎉

------ Hello guys 🙂 What are your plans for the end of the year 🎄 ? Taking some leaves or working through the holiday period ?

----- Hello guys, published the first newsletter 🎉 Feel free to comment. Thanks !

---- Hello fellow remoteindians 👋 Wanted to share an update from my side. ⚠️ It’s not a good one. My remote work contract as a ruby api dev was terminated because of a rightsizing exercise in my company. The finances were in a bad state and unfortunately a lot of people had to be released. I do have a one month notice period but I wanted to clear my head out so that I can plan better. I am perceiving this as an opportunity to pursue better paths. Some thoughts in my head are - Move to elixir because I’ve been having a lot of fun learning the language and working in it - Work on a toptal project ( I am a toptaler but never had the time to do one. Would like to experience that ) - Take a 3-6 month break and focus on my health and improving my portfolio Any ideas on the above three topics are highly appreciated 🤗 --- Surprisingly, I find myself pretty calm. I feel the below reasons might have a hand in it 🤔 - Optionality ( because of the tech skills and investing in learning ) - Solid savings - Been in similar situations before in my career ( antifragile as Nassim Taleb would say ) - Reading a lot of stoic text ( I think it must be compulsory reading for every remote dev ) - Being part of the a community like Remote Indian ❤️ Pure Business. Nothing personal. Time to move on 💪🏼

Hi there, Started four channels #fitness, #productivity, #books and #meditation to provide some much needed impetus to your community. I am sure there is at least one topic where you might be interested to checkin regularly 🎯 Feel free to chime in with your thoughts simple smile

Also created #daily-standup with the selfish reason to keep myself accountable. Come join me !!

Sad that there's still a lot of work to be done to raise awareness of remote jobs

Had applied for a visa and they are asking how do you have a US job without ever being there 🤷‍♂️

“You know this thing called the internet where people can talk to each other from anywhere?”
