Introducing our Remote Job Board

opl-thumbnail-remote-jobsTechnology now allows teams to collaborate and ship great products without the need of an office space.

All the Remote Jobs in our new Remote Job Board are location independent – meaning you can work from anywhere.

Once we have an active flow of Remote Jobs, we’ll add search and filter functionality. For now we’re keeping things nice, clean and mobile-friendly:)

How much does a Remote Job listing cost?

The cost is $9 to post a job listing and it stays live for 60 days. We will do our best to bring your job to the One Page Love readers – each website review includes a random Remote Job in the top-right meta box. Each job is also tweeted to our 4k Twitter followers at our best engagement times. The price is also to keep the quality of the job submissions up, much alike our One Page website submissions.

Feedback

Hope you find our Remote Jobs a good resource. Please send us as much feedback as possible. Email me on rob@onepagelove.com or tweet me at @hitdelete – thank you!

10 Tips for Creating Addictive Content - #infographic

10 Tips for Creating Addictive Content - infographic

Saying that the online community landscape is a fast changing one is a crass understatement. This is why it’s so important to keep your eyes open to all changes. And not only that, but you need to adapt to them as well. You absolutely cannot waste any time in creating content that will go unnoticed, unread, and unappreciated. Simply because you won’t achieve your marketing goals. So, if you need some tips on how to optimize your content, here is a list of 10 of them.

Rejoice, because they’re all coming from some of the most successful SEO and content marketing experts out there at the moment. This means the tips are bound to be good and get you where you want as far as content goes.

Why should you optimize the content you publish? In case you don’t have enough reasons so far, allow me to tell you that a staggering 50% of everything that’s published is never read. Yes, you read it well, pun intended.

Apart from that, the content that is being published as we speak is massive. Just take a look at what happens every single minute in the world:

204,000,000 are sent
140 new blog posts are posted
277,000 tweets have been set loose
216,000 pictures have been posted on Instagram
3,472 pins have been posted on Pinterest
2,460,000 pieces of content have been posted or shared on Facebook.

It took me roughly two minutes to write this list. That means that, while I was writing these words, the double of that amount of information was released online. When you take a minute to think about that, you realize that the main question that arises here is: how do I get my content to stand out from that avalanche of information? Luckily, there are people that can help us answer that particular question.

Here they are and here are also their amazing and practical 10 tips on how to be the guy that floats on top of the info wave.

Designing for Apple Watch: Product Strategy

Creating a Cloud Backend for Your Android App Using Firebase

18 months ago I wrote an article on Creating a Cloud Backend for Your Android App Using Parse. Facebook announced earlier this year that they were shutting down Parse on January 28th, 2017 and new signups to the service aren’t possible. With that surprise announcement, this forced developers relying on the service to start looking for alternatives that they could migrate their data to.

Because of this news, I thought I should revisit the topic and cover how to use a different Backend as a Service platform to manage data for your Android application.

For this tutorial, I’ll be looking at Firebase, a popular backend platform acquired by Google in October 2014.

You should always weigh the pros and cons of relying on a BaaS as opposed to building your own. Parse is not the first BaaS platform to shut down (e.g., StackMob) and won’t be the last. As a developer relying on one of these platforms, you should always be ready to migrate and have a backup plan.

With Firebase, you can store and sync data to a NoSQL cloud database. The data is stored as JSON, synced to all connected clients in realtime, and available when your app goes offline. It offers APIs that enable you to authenticate users with email and password, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, Google, anonymous auth, or to integrate with existing authentication system. It also offers hosting for static assets and offers SSL certificates.

In this article, you’ll create a simple To Do app that will show how to save and retrieve data from Firebase, how to authenticate users, set read/write permissions on the data and validate the data on the server.
