Maker here, 10 months after an initial &quot;Show HN&quot; with a 1.0 version.<p>I originally built a tiny immigration eligibility calculator and got a lot of negative feedback because of an email requirement I had before displaying the results [1].<p>Lesson learned. I was still able to attract a few thousand users, and after talking to a lot of them, the below are the biggest learnings which were the base for this new version, built from scratch.<p>1) Immigration pathways - Single source of truth for immigration options worldwide.<p>2) Job board dedicated to companies offering visa sponsorship.<p>This is something I wished existed 15 years ago when I was trying hard to find a way to get out from Brazil. I lived in a few countries and permanently settled in Australia. Before anything else, just by moving here, my life is at least 10x better than what I had back where I was born.<p>And I&#x27;m not alone:<p>In 2020, there are approximately one billion adults in the world who would like to move out from their birth country permanently [2].<p>As the fun part, as an old-school Django Dev, I decided to take the opportunity to experiment with full-stack javascript. I used RedwoodJS [3], which is quickly becoming my go-to stack for side-projects.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21344207" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21344207</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.gallup.com&#x2F;poll&#x2F;124028&#x2F;700-million-worldwide-desire-migrate-permanently.aspx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.gallup.com&#x2F;poll&#x2F;124028&#x2F;700-million-worldwide-de...</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;redwoodjs.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;redwoodjs.com&#x2F;</a>
