Ontol (the most useful) about remote work [collection of 100+ articles]

"If you're not proud of the first version of your product, you launched too late"

Hello everyone, I hesitated for a long time, and now I've decided to share not even an MVP, but the idea I'm currently working on. It crystallized a year ago after seven years of writing on Habr.

Many have heard of the pyramid "data-information-knowledge-wisdom".
Interestingly, there are several million projects on data, hundreds of thousands on information, hundreds on knowledge, and ideally, just a handful on wisdom — I've yet to find a single one.

In a year, I review between 10,000 and 50,000 texts in Russian and English. Texts from the "wisdom" category sometimes appear On Habré and in Paul Graham's blog, and to systematically catch (and later create) "black swans" among texts, I came up with the project "Ontol.org". Right now, we're open sourcing the MVP prototype while manually doing some work. If you're interested — sign up on Ontol.org, and as soon as we roll out the MVP, we'll invite you to the closed beta.

Ideally, "Ontol" is a collection of the top 10 coolest materials on a super important topic (multidimensionally ranked by the community and experts), so a person can get acquainted with the most useful materials humanity has on this topic in just one hour. (+ a top 100 longlist of less important materials for further study)

For now — a very rough selection of the most useful materials on remote work from Habr (UPD + vc.ru). (If anyone has links to English materials or other resources — please write in the comments.)

Currently, the selection is rough (done in 3 hours, 200 posts reviewed). Ideally, Ontol for each topic should take from 10 to 100 hours (to review from 2,000 to 50,000 posts) and be upgraded throughout life :).

Here's how it will approximately look in the end (without interactivity/mechanics for now): ontol.org/magisterludi/remote

Currently, the ranking is based on Habr's rating (but it's a very primitive approximation), and very soon we'll integrate a multidimensional social/crowdsourcing ranking method to accurately "hit" the requests. You can help rank by providing your top 5 most interesting articles in the comments.
