Not Xamarin but Xamarin.Forms. Xamarin just works because it's basically C# bindings to native.

My time tracking app[1] was bootstrapped with over $15k in sales from Show HN[2]. Without a launch like this, it would be much harder to work on it in the first year when organic sales were low. [1]: https://qotoqot.com/qbse

Wow, congratulations! Happy to see a HN'er rocking the conservative boat of Chilean financial institutions! Though I feel like 1.19% is a bit too much: I'm currently using Renta4.cl for ETF IPSA from Itaú (CFMITNIPSA, 0.6%) and In

These markets rarely pay as much as US or even UK. I've seen dozens of developers with 2-5 years of experience earning more on Upwork than senior developers in their countries. Also, it isn't a "race-to-the-bottom" if yo

Xamarin is not dead and being actively developed. It just doesn't intersect with the startup scene because of its enterprise roots.

It's not optional, it's the only language used in Unity by developers since UnityScript got deprecated. At least Google Play has more apps in Xamarin[0] than in ReactNative[1] but RN is used in many top apps while Xamarin apps are

Hey, you are not alone, I would prefer solving Earth's problems too. The downvotes for simply having another vision of a better future are silly.
