Major List Update

[oliviaklohr]

Hey all -

I was working on compiling my own remote-first / remote-available tech company list when I stumbled across yours. After comparing the two, I have around ~160 companies on my list that aren't on yours (and you have way more that I don't, haha).

I was going to start work on compiling a PR in your format for the companies I have - which will take some time as your format is more in-depth - but I noticed in your PR Template that you were wanting the contributions to be opened by an employee of the company.

I wanted to verify that this type of contribution would be welcome before I put the work into doing so.

Thanks, and thanks for all your work on this project!

(I'll also happily go through and fill in some of the other companies that I have info for that aren't filled out, if that would also be appreciated.)

Hey @oliviaklohr, contributions of this type are very welcome. Thank you!

[oliviaklohr]

Absolutely! I'll hop on it and hopefully have it up in the near future. 😊

@oliviaklohr could you possibly just dump your list somewhere like in a gist or pastebin for people to view before the merge, please???

Thank you

[oliviaklohr]

@brh yep! here's a gist with just company names and a majority of the links to their sites. I've been working on compiling the list for a while, but I still need to go back through and double-check that these companies are still either remote-first or remote-allowing, not just doing it temporarily because of COVID, but I think I've done a fairly good job parsing those out.

can i create an issue (and hopefully mark it as 'hacktoberfest') for each company in the gist and start adding them one by one? @dougaitken

I forgot about this, please feel free to add any. One PR per company, or at least one per commit with fully explained PR description

Hi,

I was hoping to contribute to this and it's my first time doing an open-source project. Please advise if I could use the same gist or if there have been any changes to it.

Thank you very much!

Hi @Hanee-Solanki theres been no changes since the last comment so I believe you can use that list as a basis. Thanks.

Hi @dougaitken can I work on this issue, I am a full stack developer from India and currently an undergrad at IIT . Could you please assign it to me?

[dougaitken]

@jainendra001 there's no need to assign the Issue to you - The linked file is 157 items and some will be on the main list already.

I'd recommend using that list as a basis for contributions. As I mentioned before - one PR per company.
