It would be useful to compare the proportions difference between non-remote and remote instead of the absolute popularity.
Example: Since SQL dominates most job offers already, it's gonna dominate also remote jobs offers. What you want is to look at technologies that are more predominant in remote than non-remote.
Actually a lot of people ask me about different angles for the data. For this reason I'm trying to build a stats / trends page. So feedback / requirements welcome.
I think it would be better to just let people download the raw data (like the database dump). Then people can do their analysis on top (like, I could produce the stats I just told you about)
Actually what would be cool would be to release the data, and hold a contest related to it. Maybe one award track for interesting analysis, one for presentation of data. You could probably get some companies to sponsor it, as it's cheap advertising that people will be interested in viewing. Plus someone might be able to write up a paper on it for journal publication.
Although, if people want to be hired for remote work then the absolute percent matters more, but if there is some reason to believe that remote work is different, this would illuminate that difference.
