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].
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.
1) Immigration pathways - Single source of truth for immigration options worldwide.
2) Job board dedicated to companies offering visa sponsorship.
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.
And I'm not alone:
In 2020, there are approximately one billion adults in the world who would like to move out from their birth country permanently [2].
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.
