ሰላም! 👋

I'm Zeamanuel, and I'm researching how Ethiopian freelancers work with local clients.

I'm looking for freelancers (graphic designers, web developers, content writers, photographers, social media managers, etc.) who:

📌 Have 1-5 years freelancing experience
📌 Work with Ethiopian clients (not just international)
📌 Recently completed a project (last 3 months)
📌 Have faced payment delays OR work without written contracts

🎁 Gift for participating:
- Ethio Telecom: 2800 Minutes + 20 GB
- Safaricom: 40 GB

It's just a 60-minute conversation - no selling, just honest questions about your experience.

Your insights will help build Hisab, a tool designed specifically for Ethiopian freelancers.

Interested? DM me or comment below!

Thanks 🙏

How to stay focused while coding

1. Eliminate distractions: Find a quiet place to work and turn off any notifications or alerts that might interrupt your concentration.

2. Set goals: Break down your coding tasks into smaller, achievable goals. This will help you stay focused and motivated.

3. Take breaks: It's important to take regular breaks to avoid burnout and maintain your focus. Try the Pomodoro technique, which involves working for 25 minutes and taking a 5-minute break.

4. Use a timer: Set a timer for a specific amount of time and work on your coding task until the timer goes off. This will help you stay focused and avoid procrastination.

5. Stay organized: Keep your workspace and code organized to avoid distractions and make it easier to focus on your coding tasks.

6. Practice mindfulness: Take a few deep breaths and focus on the present moment before starting your coding task. This can help you clear your mind and improve your focus.

Day 01 📅

Today wasn’t the most productive day, but it wasn’t too bad either! 😌
I gently focused on understanding some React.js concepts, including:

📘 Understanding the basics of React and its core concepts
📝 Learning and using JSX to render elements
🤔 Exploring the differences between a library and a framework
⚙️ Understanding how React’s Virtual DOM works

I also picked two projects to start soon: a Quote Generator and a Mood Tracker, to help solidify the basics of React step by step.

See you tomorrow! Good night, fellow coders! 😴💻✨

Is React.js a framework or a library? 🤔

Before answering this question: what is a framework or a library? 🧐

📚 A library is a collection of predefined functions or components that you use to perform specific tasks.

👩‍🎨Instead of writing everything from scratch repeatedly, you define it once and reuse it whenever needed. ♻️

🏗 A framework is a predefined architecture you follow to build your entire application. It provides a structure and dictates the flow of control.

Real-Life Scenario: 🏠 When building a house:
🌞A library is like a set of tools or materials 🧱 ⚒️ you use, such as bricks, a drill, a hammer, or wood. You choose which tools to use and how to use them.
🌞A framework is like the construction team's blueprint and set of rules 📐. It dictates the overall design and process for building the house.

So, is React a library or a framework? ⚖️

✅ React is fundamentally a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

It is designed to be declarative and component-based, giving you freedom 🕊 in how you structure the rest of your application (like state management, routing, etc.).

You can say it feels like a framework 🧩 when used with its full ecosystem (like Redux for state management, React Router for navigation, and a build tool like Vite). However, its core philosophy and flexibility keep it officially categorized as a library. 📦

🚀 The Web Revolution: Web1 → Web2 → Web3

The internet has come a long way, and each stage feels like its own revolution:

🌐 Web1 – The Read-Only Web (1990s):
Back then, the internet was like a giant library. You could read websites, learn stuff, but interaction was limited. Think static pages, dial-up, and “just looking” online.
Key technologies/languages: HTML, CSS, basic JavaScript.

🖥 Web2 – The Social Web (2000s–Now):
Then came Web2: interactive, social, and full of apps. You could post, share, shop, and stream. But here’s the catch—big platforms controlled our data, our content, and even our online identity. We were users, but not owners.
Key technologies/languages: JavaScript (React, Angular, Node.js), Python (Django, Flask), PHP, SQL, Java, Swift/Kotlin (mobile apps).

💎 Web3 – The Ownership Web (Future?):
Now, Web3 is trying to give power back to you. Imagine owning your digital content, having your identity securely yours, and participating in apps where you actually earn value. No middlemen, more control, and true decentralization.
Key technologies/languages: Solidity, Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript (for dApps), Python, Go, smart contract frameworks like Hardhat and Anchor.

The exciting part? We’re living through the transition. Web3 is still young, but it promises a more fair, open, and user-driven internet.

🔥 Thought: Each phase of the web built on the previous one. Will Web3 completely replace Web2? Maybe, but even if it doesn’t, it will definitely change the game forever.
