   Upwork is unmatched

   Although this app, sometimes gets me to my worst... I think it's only fair to call them the best work from home site.

• I was an actual shill for 9 months, AMA

  If you are learning web development, goto upwork.com and start doing projects. Your old projects & code is a lot more valuable than some references from a company. Source: 7 months ago

• Insulin pens are driving me bonkers

  I just wanted to say, for anyone reading this far: this is the sort of thing you can hire a programmer to whip up for you to carry around on your phone. u/dark_rug just up and did it, but for anybody else finding themselves with a little spreadsheet to do calculations that they want to work on their phone or in the browser, you can go to a service like upwork.com and put out a request for bids from contract...

• Freelancing as a Civil Engineer!

  Hello, I'm in need of some extra money for the holidays, and looking to find freelance work. I'm a PE licensed in NC & SC. I haven't had much luck with upwork.com. I've submitted proposals to the few jobs posted in NC/SC but haven't had a proposal accepted. Source: 7 months ago

• Rnote – An open-source vector-based drawing app

  Please note that the original app was Xournal [1]. The one you link is a rewrite of the orignal (in C++) and is called Xournal++. [1] https://xournal.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: When did you stop using printers and why?

  I do the using Xournal [1] which is tailor-made for creating annotations. It leaves the PDF as is, saving your edits to a sidecar file (*.xoj) which when loaded pulls in the original PDF. It exports edited documents to 'real' PDFs with selectable text etc. [1] https://xournal.sourceforge.net/ (packaged by most distributions). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Is there good way to apply a hand written signature to a pdf in linux?

  If you don't mind the signature being raster (not vector), I've used Xournal for this in the past. It's extremely lightweight and easy. Just open the PDF file with Xournal, draw the signature, and then export it to PDF (Control + E). This will not rasterise the PDF itself (to the best of my knowledge), but rather just superimposes a layer containing your signature on top of the original PDF. Source: about 2 years ago

• The Xournal ++ app

  Xournal++ exists since 2013. Maybe you typoed and by your comment about abandoning you were referring to Xournal without the ++? The Xournal website even suggests to try Xournal++. Source: over 2 years ago

• Adobe Acrobat not provided by the university, how do you read/edit PDFs?

  Xournal works pretty well for me on GNU/Linux. You just have to turn on the "Legacy PDF Export" option. Source: almost 3 years ago
