About TheRemoteFreelancer

TheRemoteFreelancer is a community-curated list on GitHub of websites where people can find remote freelance and contract work in software development, web design, and related fields. Entries are grouped into freelance marketplaces, tutoring, other platforms, job boards, agencies, and regional or language-specific platforms. Regional sections cover places and languages including the UK, Germany, Latin America, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spanish-, Persian-, Brazilian Portuguese-, Russian-, and Indonesian-language sites.

Each marketplace and job board has a rank figure, which the repository describes as an estimate of how popular the site is, with #1 being the most viewed site in the US. The repository says Alexa was used up until 2022 and that Similarweb will be used for future ratings. The repository was inspired by a Hacker News discussion of one developer's experience with Upwork. The project lists third-party sites and does not itself offer job postings.
