Hey everyone! Firstly, thank you so much Kevin (@kevin) for hunting us :) We began working on Remote Tools in August, 2018 with a simple idea of creating a repository of handpicked tools for remote work. Remote Tools has now grown to become the place to discuss, learn and grow remote work. The journey so far has been absolutely amazing and we have learnt a lot many things about working remotely from numerous individuals we interacted with - leaders, makers, remote workers, evangelists. Remote Work 2020 is the culmination of all our efforts and learnings thus far basis our personal experiences, insights from our conversations with leaders of top remote companies & remote-first makers, and stories of successful remote workers. It is a combination of 3 sections - 1. State of Remote Work 2020 - Stats & figures based on our survey of 331 remote workers from Invision, Gitlab, Doist and many more distributed teams! 2. Remote work guide - Our commentary (totalling 7,101 words) on pressing topics around remote work based on learnings from interactions with leaders of distributed teams and successful remote workers. 3. 5 Podcasts & 12 stories - The actual source of truth for us 😀. The collection of podcasts with leaders from Gitlab, Invision, Doist, Scrapinghub, FlexJobs, etc. and chronicles of remote workers - the people we have learnt the intricacies of remote work from! We will work to update the guide through the year and would also love your help in doing so! If you have anything to contribute, do drop me a line at hrishikesh@remote.tools :) Eager to hear your thoughts/ feedback!

Future is all remote work. So Thank you for taking care of the future ! Gtz, & good look

I've been following Remote Tool's newsletter for a while ago and I must say that it has been a great source of useful software/services and interesting discussions about remote work. I'm really glad to see how it's all still growing @hrishikesh1990 keep the good work 👍

Glad to see this come out! Thanks @hrishikesh1990 ! I've been working remote for the last 6 years. While it's no silver bullet I definitely think with the trends we're seeing it's going to become a default option for many skilled online workers. Note that "Online workers" includes lawyers, accountants, marketers, entrepreneurs and many more. Not just Devs and Designers. _Nothing like making a Silicon Valley salary while living by a low cost Canadian ski hill_

I've read trough the introduction and part of the first chapter, it's quite compelling. Will continue on, this is a great resource for all remote works - ex and current. Kudos!

Great report - thanks for putting this together Hrishikesh.

I participated to this survey of @hrishikesh1990 and I must say that this is really empowering for all remote workers worldwide. A solid study that make us want to promote this work lifestyle!

Excellent,Brilliant,Marvelous
