Ask HN: Switch from Web-Dev Freelancer to Mobile Freelancer?
I do mostly Spring Boot and Angular stuff.
I love the backend and Spring in general but ... I hate frontend, seriously, there are no words to describe how much I hate this stuff.
It's really hard to find clients with 100% backend work and therefore I have to do quite a lot of frontend work.
So I figured, maybe I should switch to mobile development ?
The cons are obv. It would take some time to be productive and it's much harder to find clients without any app in the app store.
Any suggestions what I could do ? Do I need to know Android as well ?
I'm also a little bit worried about the latest trends in that sector where companies throw a bunch of frontend devs into a mobile project, think react native etc.. this might be an indicator for less projects ?
What do you guys think ?
