I see. Thanks for the input.

If I google "fossfox", it's usually result number 20-30. The first few results are links/pages about the actual dot com, mixed with links/pages of what I'm guessing was the previou…

Good points. Those pages also contain links to old implementations (Hashids), because a lot of projects still use those and want to be able to find them.

[shard_number, primary_id_number, timestamp]

More than 10 years ago, I released the first version of Hashids in PHP, an encoding library to generate unique IDs from numbers [0]. Over the years, many developers have converted …

Having moved from React to Svelte, it was always a breath of fresh air to write less and have it just work. Feels strange seeing state/props/effect again, almost like I'm back to R…

Besides all the already mentioned, solid responses about looking for new opportunities (personal network, consistent daily applications, etc), it's worth noting this one too: Becom…

Thank you. Yes you're right, location/remote has to be adjusted for better experience. And I'll see what I can do regarding the email '+', thanks for the heads up.

Oh I like that. It would include people that enjoy working at open-source companies, but their role might not be directly foss-related on the daily (eg: devops, website, etc). Than…

Good point. The code used to have a "work directly on open-source" checkbox per job, but it's hidden for now because I wasn't sure about the edge cases: people can be asked to swit…

Indeed. Some companies limit to countries, some to timezones (+/- a few hours), some to regions like you mentioned, and others might have a language requirement. I've been trying t…

Reporting/flagging features are def on the todo list & not yet there. I agree, they'd be great to have for better moderation. All good points.

Yeah, I might've gotten used to it by now - need to experiment a bit & adjust. Thank you for the feedback.

Great questions, atm the index contains either companies that have their main products as open-source, or companies that make significant contributions (eg: Netflix, Cloudflare, Op…

Nice, thanks for adding to resources.

Thank you.

Thank you. I agree: it's a great moat against closed-source competitors. Plus I'm noticing more and more businesses going with permissive Apache 2.0 licenses (or similar), which is…

The index lists either companies that work on open-source products or those that heavily contribute to open-source. Either way, ideal for devs that want to keep an eye out for oppo…

I'd say it's also important to remember the types of projects that are easier to monetize. About a decade ago I wrote an OSS library that gained some nice traction, and it wasn't r…

Open-source blockchain analytics tool [1]. Lots of use-cases, but a straightforward one is compliance. Many alternatives in the space, but most are SaaS-only. Still early in the jo…

That's right, moving sats via LN is done off-chain. Once the channel closes, that's when it settles to L1, at which point tools like Rotki can help you figure it out.
