Hey guys, Dave here from Out Of Office. At Out Of Office we're a 100% distributed team, so we're aware of the pitfalls of working remote. It can be isolating, lonely, and often times hard to start the day. That's why we start

What about ordering Mary’s free range chicken? Lots of restaurants advertise that on the menu. Sounds better than a normal chicken sandwich. Or Coca Cola braised short ribs from your favorite food truck? Sounds better than cola braised shor

While there are a few companies that are actually trying to build this idea with renting out homes by the hour, at Out Of Office[0] we're working on a similar concept of a more general marketplace for coworking spaces. We've scout

We’re a remote first company at Out Of Office, though we’re still small (less than 10 employees). It’s the first remote job I’ve had as a software engineer and I find that I’m more productive than I’ve ever been. I have my days where I can’

Just took a look at some of their other stuff. Looks like it's high quality and well researched. Just curious...how did you start working with Holloway? Did you reach out to them or did they find you?

We're focusing on mobile right now because finding a workspace is heavily dependent on where you are or where you need to be. We're a small scrappy team right now so we don't have the resources to build out a proper web exper

We run our infrastructure off of cloudflare, so we can easily spin up a staging environment that's an exact replica of production (only difference is # and size of instances). We also run a staging jenkins server that's defined in

Every single example the OP laid out is solved by an official laravel package. People love to hate on PHP but I can spin up a laravel app with all of those features in a matter of hours. I can build a traditional server side rendered app or
