In plain English

Remote In Tech is the source code behind remoteintech.company, a community-maintained directory of remote-friendly tech companies. If you are a job seeker looking for companies that hire people who work remotely, the website lets you browse a curated list of those companies. The GitHub repository is where that directory lives and is managed by contributors from the public. The project is built with JavaScript using Eleventy Excellent, a static site generator starter. To run it locally, you install dependencies with npm, start a development server with hot reload for previewing changes, and build a production version when ready. The README notes that Node.js 22 or newer is required. Contributing a new company to the directory follows a defined process: you create a Markdown file for the company inside the src/companies/ folder, fill in a frontmatter template with specific fields, build the project, and open a pull request. A validation bot automatically reviews the submission and comments on any issues that need fixing. The contributing guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md document the required frontmatter fields and what the bot checks for. The project is released under the ISC license.
