One thing that irks me about sites for remote work is that they don't distinguish between countries.

A lot of employers will be remote, but only within their own country. I want to filter out remote jobs that won't accept candidates from outside of the UK, for example.

I would also ad to that, timezone. Some employees are flexible on country as long as you fit into a certain timezone range.
I wanted to make the same point. I spent some time on the site and went away about 75% sure its US only, but it's hard to tell since many US cities are named after UK cities.
A really common example (outside of the UK) is Melbourne, Australia & Melbourne Florida.
Great point, we can add that as a field for employers to fill out when creating the listing.
It's not a "filter" as you'd say but if you're based in Europe there is this site that displays jobs that are specific for EU resident for instance https://eu-remoters.com/
> but only within their own country

Yeah, although this only plagues US and UK companies as I've seen.

Well, quite a large share of job posts is from the US, so it has a significant impact on usability in practice
