Ha, reminds me of a story of a front-end developer from my (mostly Poland-based) team who is working remotely from Brazil: https://netguru.co/blog/working-with-people-you-haven-t-seen

Puerto Rico is different in that it is a U.S. territory so a lot of concerns in the financial services world where I work are not relevant. My clients would never hire someone from a non U.S. state/territory to work on their critical IT systems.

The Timezone thing is also a really big deal too. PR is the same most of the year and just one hour off Nov-Mar. I do not ever see myself waking up at 5:00am for meetings.

In case you'll find the time, the article actually also includes some Swift-learning resources.

Yup, he's in : https://netguru.co/blog/posts/code-ping-pong-with-dhh

Stephen Wolfram is doing it too ;D http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2012/03/the-personal-analytic...

Google Hangout works pretty well too!

But has 10 persons limit ;-)

thanks to code reviews & pair-programming, dev are usually much more used to receiving immediate feedback and applying 'you are not your code' rule. Would be great if people from outside web dev could community do the same!

I also think in this case the simpler the better. GitHub pages is pretty nice solution. +100 to Google Docs too!

When you are developing the project further how would you like to value adding new functionalities to the project using the value based pricing model?

How much value does the new feature bring to the client ?

Easy one: increase their conversion rate for google searches of keyword "blue widget" (ie google -> landing page -> credit card charged) by 5%. YOu just made them 5% of their annual turnover. Charge them a lot

Harder one: (Anything away from sales is always going to be harder to measure) Implement a simple custoemr support online chat featuire (you know the kind) - allows their support to deal with >1 person at a time, and reduces the "waiting" queue on the phone system to zero. Value? Dunno. Feel around by talking to the VP of customer service or make a judgement call like "not having to hire another five custoemr service people"

This makes sense when you have a well established business that's tweaking it's processes. Impossible when building an MVP and/or experimenting.

Wish you lot of fun with your own Raspberry Pi!
