I just want someone to review my PRs
Hey Indie Hackers!
I've been spending my weekends working on a fashion exploration application and have been having to "merge without waiting for requirements to be met (bypass branch protections)" every time I merge a PR.
Ex: https://github.com/nicholaschiang/site/pull/2
I would absolutely love to get someone with front-end/full-stack technical expertise to simply be around to review my code. Preferably, this is someone who has worked in the space for a while and is more experienced than I am, but I'd be more than happy to work with anyone!
My current tech stack is Prisma + Postgres + Remix + React + Tailwind + Fly.
Thank you so much. I know this is a strange request, but I figured this community was one of the best ones to field it.

You're better off looking for an open source project and helping as a contributor. You'll get free reviews from developers with a lot of experience.
That is a great suggestion, OSS projects core team members can be really strict about the quality of PRs and you will learn a lot.
I’d happily give you a review if you’re wanting one. I’m not a front ender but have 8 years in software development (c#, Go, kubernetes and a tiny bit of Angular around 4 years ago).
You probably want someone with a bit more front end experience but happy to help from a general architecture/quality point of view 😊
I would also be more than happy to pay someone to do this, but I suspect that anyone who would want payment for this doesn't have the type of experience I'm going for.
You can create a job on Upwork with fixed price (if you want to limit the money you want to spend). There are a bunch of job like that on Upwork, and you can see if the freelancer on Upwork with the relevant experience you want.
I think its way better than free, unsolicited review here in IH. I don't want to discount any honest / generous help from IHer, but I think you have better chance in Upwork.
I'm a freelancer on Upwork for a few month, and I've been here in IH for a few years.
Just keep coding, you will make mistakes but they are the best way to learn, use what is simple and works not what someone says you need to do, don't be afraid to experiment and rework code, if something is very complex there is a reason for it, figure it out and if the reason does not align with what you need don't follow the complexity.
Considering what framework you are using you will be creating a significant mess of a project, but if you keep coding you will learn to value your time more and understand how things are done and see beyond the frameworks and languages when you build something.
WDYM? Is Remix that bad? Or React in general?
No language or framework is bad if you know them well and have broad tech experience.
But little knowledge, very opinionated framework like React with stupid amount of moving parts in it, single developer with no senior oversite and technical architecture is usually a recipe for a mess, especially if you try to build something a bit more complex than a few data displaying pages.
Gotcha, yeah, makes sense. Luckily enough for me all I'm trying to do is build a few data displaying pages. :P
