I do that! I specialize in reviewing and auditing delivered work for entrepreneurs/investors/etc, which is a slightly different perspective than code reviews for developers themselves, but depending on your project and needs I can do that too.

I also offer ongoing mentoring for independent freelancers, if that's the track your on.

I’d also highly recommend to share a link to your code now. You’re top on hn/ask, you’ll get quite some folks looking at it and maybe someone is interested in helping you out.

Agreed. OP, if you are still able to edit your post, place a link to the one GitHub project of yours that you most want feedback on.

Go to Github and look at projects where there have been a few recent merged pull requests. Look at listed issues, the TODO file and so forth. Fix an issue and send a pull request. After a few such patches, this will start getting you code reviews. People have much more time to review your patches to their code than they do to make suggested patches to your code.

Adding on - look at recently closed PRs and see if they get reviews like you're looking for. If not - keep looking until you find a project at the intersection of your skills and desire for feedback. This will take a fair bit of work, but it's worth it.

And of course - don't take things too personally, but also don't take them too seriously either. Plenty of open source projects have drive-by "code reviewers" that nitpick everything without contributing themselves. All things in moderation
