A side project I created because the roads in India are terrible and it needs to be highlighted.
So i created Gaddhe [1] (pothole in english) as a website where users can upload geotagged pothole photos anywhere within India and it will pinned on the map
I took heavy UI inspiration from a similar site [2] built for bangalore

Re:Ask HN: Did you know what average developer salaries are in India?
on Monday October 14, 2024 @02:01AM (#41834641)
out of 1.5 million most of the students are from tier 2 and tier 3 colleges. The education and opportunities in Tier 2 colleges makes most of the student employable while students from tier 3 colleges are barely employable.
out of 1.5 million only 10% are employable i.e 150k grads [1] Out of that 150k, 50% will be employed by mass recruiters (Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, HCL, Wipro)

The numbers you've provided are typically associated with mass recruiters who hire students fresh from college (most of whom are bad at coding). These companies (Infosys, Tcs etc.) pays peanuts compared to other reputed companies. The number of candidates for these mass recruiters is so high, it often reduces the average salaries.
If you only consider good colleges and good companies, the number would be around
Fresh: $10k - $20k
3-5 YOE: $20 - $35k
>5 YOE - >$35k

I made an extension [1] to summarise terms and conditions of your current webpage.
After reading the recent news related to disney+, the idea struck me what all unusual clauses websites put in their T&Cs.
It currently doesn't work on some sites.

Sometimes you may want a blank canvas to pen down your thoughts, instead of the usual new tab page. this extension is just for that, It opens excalidraw in an iframe in your new tab and stores your canvas locally which persists over new tabs

Ask HN: Why is there no context button in hn.algolia.com comment search?
I was trying to search something I read in a comment and was trying to get to the original comment, but it was leading me to the article instead of the comment. It'd be nice if it included context button like we see when visit someone's comment history like this.1 point by shoebham 3 months ago | parent | context [–]
