The first thing I did was check for Costa Rica's new digital nomad visa, which they don't list on this site yet because it just got signed into law a few days ago: https://ticotimes.net/2021/08/11/costa-rica-signs-law-to-att... Highly suggested! This country is the best, I've been here for the better part of a decade now and can't recommend it enough. There's fibre to the home rollout in more of the country than I've…

Excuse me but you're talking how the country is great then go on talking how they grind peoples bones into cocaine? WTF

'Working remote' visa options all look great till I start researching on how the job market is, in general. Because my spouse is going to have to do something too.

I think you should add a "I don't know" button on the front page, in answer to the "where do you want to work remotely" question.

I don't know where I want to work, im flexible, but show me what is good.

surely something is messed up with the "Work Hours Overlap for Remote Teams" input field . Incredibly slow and unresponsive.

around the topic of "Work Hours Overlap for Remote Teams"

Would be interesting to type in your current town, and then generate a list of the other countries (+major cities?) on the same time zone or like +/- 1-2 time zones away.

I do think the time zone thing can be crucial.

I was hoping to put in my Visa and country where employer is and see a list of countries I could go work remotely from.

Hey HN! Over the past few months I've been coding my first side project (Nuxt Frontend, Django Backend). It's been quite a learning experience tumbling down the rabbit hole of web development, as a data scientist. Nomad Visa is a database of tourist visas and visas suitable for digital nomads, remote workers, founders and expats. More and more countries issue special visas for digital nomads to stay in their country…

Very bad UX. Site is constantly (slowly) reloading on mobile and instead of showing the details always somehow brings you back to start screen.

It would benefit greatly by using js more sparingly

Does anyone know a good site where I can compare tax rates for freelancers - using a single person business what's my net take home at what income ? Would people be willing in contributing this info for their country if I made a calculator for this on GH pages ?

PwC has a nice overview of individual and corp taxes by country. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/

They recommend NordVPN, which makes me think all their recommendations are just ads.

Monetization is not a crime

Having a website whose whole purpose is to recommend stuff and then being paid for recommendations by the sellers is both a scam and a common marketing tactic. It's hard to tell when this happens. I'm not saying OP is doing this, I'm saying it's hard to tell and I'll err on the side of looking for better sources.
