Ask HN: How does Levels handle so much negative PR for NomadList?
2 by buf | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Recently, I've stepped out of the shadow of being a W2 employee into being a one-man entrepreneur like Pieter Levels. He runs super popular remotelist and remoteok. At first I thought he just made a great product and that was it, but at closer inspection, I'm having doubts. 1. Earlier today, a reddit thread on the digitalnomad subreddit completely bashed nomadlist. Hundreds of upvotes saying nomadlist wasn't worth it, with dozens of comments agreeing. Only one person raised defense for it. 2. When looking at the nomadlist product itself, it's kind of ...rough. Not that I care about that sort of thing, but it's riddled with bugs, design flaws, etc. 3. He publishes his refund rate, which is just above 10%. This seems really high. Is this a case to where he got lucky and owned the digital nomand / remote work market early enough that the product actually doesn't matter? Or am I missing something?
