I went through all the comments. Just wanted to say thank you for being here to reply to all questions/comments opened minded on the feedback and responding with courtesy.
It is always nice to see a fellow dev being so engaged and listening.
It's my pleasure to do that. This feels great for me to finally launch something of my own and get so much great feedback from the community. I'm currently at work, but can't wait to get home hack a bit more on the app!
Very valid points. I've been a remote worker for a year so I can understand many points. I haven't tried some things yet (travel) so hearing about it is insightful.
- Although my work permits being flexible, I'd rather have a normal person's schedule too! There's just too many real life things to take care of that require normal hours.
- After spending a lot of time alone, I have to find a friend to meet up with. I made another remote working friend so we meet up 2 times a week. It's odd but it does feel like there is some sort of pull towards human interaction embedded somewhere. I also enjoy the busy and loud cafe background.
- Taxes suck :( They have been very confusing since this is my first year. Still working on them :'(
I am a co-founder and employee of a company so while salary stuff is clear, things like dividends + fiscal residence + tax treaty makes you crazy to be short.
Just working remotely for a company and being in a specific location all the time is certainly way easier to handle.
I learned a lot from a project on Github (https://github.com/braitsch/node-login) and taking a look at his code. I particularly liked the way he organized his project and the way he wrote his controllers. I was learning Node when I originally went over it, but I began writing my JS similar to how he wrote his. My code became more object-oriented.
