Overall very nice (and useful for someone like myself), but if I may bitch for just one second :)

(I was browsing in incognito mode, if that's relevant)

Navigation seems really broken. I can select a job listing to get details, but the back button on my mouse doesn't work as expected. It takes me back to the page before the home page, not the home page itself.

Clicking on the scroll bar while viewing a listing makes the detail view disappear.

Bookmarked for future use anyway. Thank you !

Edit: a filter for part-time/contract work would be very useful

I use no script and there is a lot of weird functionality with this site as well. I would click on one specific ad, and it'd link to the one right above it. Also I tried highlighting text but again, a similar issue, it'd highlight like a paragraph above where I was. When I just allowed all javascript on the page though it worked fine.

Seems a little too javascript heavy imo.

Thank you for surfacing this issue. To better understand (and replicate) your UX, is this the No Script chrome extension?

I'll have to look into a solve for this in Webflow (my no-code builder). Otherwise, it may have to wait until if/when I (likely contract to) rebuild with custom code.

I'm actually on firefox. It also loads very slowly right now so I'm not sure if that's what's being loaded on our end or on the servers end either. I have tried it from the falkon browser as well and the slow loading existed there also.

I enabled workwithindies.com, have ajax.googleapis.com, gstatic.com, vimeo.com, vimeocdn.com, and youtube.com enabled when I encountered my highlighting and clicking issue.

I just made an update that looks like it reduced load times by >90%. Would love to see if you notice a difference.
Immediately haha! Works much better with and without no script enabled.
Thank you so much for finding these issues! I've been clicking outside of the pop-up to close and never thought of using the back button. And yes, the scrollbar is currently included on the click-to-close function (again, I've been scrolling with my mouse and didn't notice).

I'll look into fixing both.

Also, working on a filter for part-time/contract and remote (you can currently search for remote/anywhere) for the next update.

Thanks again! I appreciate you!

On safari, clicking a job doesn’t load a description, just moves me to the top of the page. Tracking protection on
I believe this should be fixed.
