Add Category for filtering

[DavidNgugi]

We need a Categories field to help in filtering.

Example Marketing, Retail, Manufacturing, Education etc.

In order to make this work we need a plan for how to get this filled in for the almost-400 companies that are already on the list, and we need a way to keep the data organized at the beginning and going forward.

[c0b]

👍 for this need; because so far it's just a list of -400 companies, not very helpful, if someone want to look for a remote job in tech companies, based on his skills (JavaScript, ), and the area he wants to do (Education, or Fintech, ), this list of ~400 will be a large list for the person to click each one by one,

this list of existing -400 companies isn't a huge list either, is still doable with crowd sourced effort, let each of the ones who care this project work on 10 from the list, add some tags as far as can be figured out by looking at the company website, make a PR to enrich the data; then the list of ~400 just need 40 times of such PRs,

for new Pull Request, can make a Pull Request template use comments there for people to fill as much information as the PR author knows, make Categories a field, strongly recommend the PR author to fill.

@c0b and @nylen . I'll work on a PR and then guys can start contributing. I'll get some time on Wednesday and do this

I'm wondering if we could expand the searchbox to search content of each profile. Or is that not possible @nylen ?

[nylen]

Anything is possible, and I agree searching the whole profile would go a long way towards satisfying this request, but it would also need some significant re-working of the search function. Maybe best to move that suggestion to a separate issue?

Hi guys, I felt the need to filter the companies by its technology using a webscrapping, it's written in python. You can check my project on https://github.com/kennyaires/webscrapping-remote-jobs/

Thanks for everyone contributing for this project.

Hi @kennyaires, our main site https://remoteintech.company/ now has a similar search feature, implemented in PR #763.
