I was in the same boat a few years ago. I did some research on this topic and summarised here: https://sapandiwakar.in/a-review-of-mobile-development-frame...
Re:Ask HN: What HN post made you money? on Friday August 05, 2022 @07:05AM (#32354391)
I post links to my blog post from time to time. Although none of them made a buzz here in HN but a few of you have contacted me in the past looking at my posts/blog. I have worked as a contractor for some of them and it has been wonderful working with them. Not to mention, you get paid a lot as a contractor.

Most of the time, you need ot add/edit your recent work experience. Rest of the things stay same (in general). Not hard to do that once in a while Although, I update only when I apply for a new job.

I tried learning French too but then gave up. How are you keeping up with the learning?
Not directly with StackOverflow but when I search for something, usually I meet with outdated results on google. For e.g. if I search for something on iOS/Android, I usually get results from 2011-13 which don't add any value because frameworks have been updated since then.

Hi,

For flexible contract dev work, are you open to hire from outside NA, particularly from India?

Re:Ask HN: How Blog/side projects helped you land a job on Tuesday July 07, 2020 @01:59AM (#23756151)
I started writing blog 5-6 years ago. Initially, there was no tracktion. With time, as the content grew and a few of my posts got attention on HN and StackOverflow; I started getting requests from companies to work for them. A few of them were small gigs but I have been working with 2 companies as a freelancer since last 6 years.

A few of the posts were research based and therefore they wanted to know more about my insight. A few of them were tutorials and they wanted me to build something for them. Hope this helps. If you have any other question, send me an email. (in profile)

India also released source code of Aarogya Setu app

I've been using Ghost ever since I switched my blog from WordPress. I've been pretty happy with it and their editing experience is great. I host it on Digital Ocean.

Model-View-Intent, I guess.
Initially, we were also in favor of going with Ant.design. Everyone has different requirements but being able to provide customization was our important criterion to select a lib.
Thanks. Yes, that'd also be a neat way to compare the libs. I will try to see if I can put a demo.
Yeah, I had GitLab on my mind when I wrote my comment. I do think it's unfair for a fully remote company but they have their reasons. Its unfortunate developers with the same skill set can have a massive gap in salary because they live in different locations even though they bring same value to the company.
Hot topic nowadays. I have also given it a lot of thought but couldn't come to any conclusion.

It's true, living in SF/NYC and India, you will have a significant difference in monthly expenditures. But does it make sense to pay differently to persons who bring the same value to the company just because they are living in different locations?

IMO if you are a fully remote company, it shouldn't make any difference. People can choose to work from wherever they are and should get paid equally. If you have an office and hire a remote worker, it would make sense if you are paying lower to remote workers working from countries with lower wages.
