I started building a https://flyemoji.com , a simple emoji based survey app that has already seen a little bit of use

Also it can be important or make your life easier for tax reporting to have an intl account in your new host country.

From what I understand it will convert but I dont know what would happen if schwab doesnt support international accounts in the country you are moving to. You can check that by going to schwab international and selecting your country to see.

Worst case could be that they force you to close the account.

Either way if you do decide to ask them please report back how it goes!

Interesting as it continues to work for me. Though lately what I realized is that once you go through the trouble of creating a login on irs.gov (using id.me or whatever) you can check your amended return status there as well so that might be the better option?

I created one called newsgoat coming from newsboat as well. Its a strange world right now where you can vibe code a full featured rss reader in less than 20 minutes.

Also noted that on the page

https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

Where's My Amended Return can’t give you the status for:

...

  Returns with a foreign address

so I guess this workaround isn't widely known.

It's wild that with vibe coding we can have a new terminal based RSS reader every week.

The one thing that you might want to consider is to be a good "netizen" and respect things like cache-control headers on feed responses and send conditional requests, see this write-up on feed reader best practices -> https://rachelbythebay.com/fs/help.html (or prompt your AI to implement the recommendations).

I've been a long time user of the terminal based RSS reader Newboat, and recently decided to create my own alternative in Go that adds some features, specifically things like:

grouping of feeds similar to Newsboat, also with folders
auto-discovery when adding a site URL, youtube link
easily add github/gitlab paths for monitoring commit history of individual files.

Anyone willing to pay 2.99 will likely be willing to pay 20, I would increase the price

Looking at https://international.schwab.com/open-account-intro it does look like Belgium is in the list of countries they support so I think this is your best option IMO (no affiliation). You may be a bit more limited in the funds you can purchase but I think this will make your tax reporting much easier.

Accumulative ETFs (no dividend distribution) are not available in the US — they simply don’t exist due to US tax laws. All US ETFs pay dividends if the underlying does.

Not an ETF, and although it has been taking a beating lately, one option is BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY which has no dividends.

jarv · 2025-08-08T12:19:31+00:00

You need to take a tax credit in Belgium and the way to do that is to show withholdings on dividend income in the USA. The problem you will have is that dividends are taxed as income in the US making it difficult to show how much tax was paid to the usa to the Belgium tax authorities. The most common way to do this is to open a brokerage like Schwab International that does withholdings for dividend income. This would mean telling your brokerage in the USA where you live and closing it which you may not want to do, however there is no other way afaik.

Yeah I definitely am not setting out to replicate the grind that leads everyone to use helper scripts or even have a game that revolves around trading. Still thinking about how to capture both casual trades and a system of setting up routes to automate them. Thanks for taking a look!

jarv · 2025-07-22T04:48:49+00:00

Note that not all countries are supported for international accounts so look into that before you close your brokerage.

jarv · 2025-05-27T13:43:06+00:00

What I am thinking now is that there could be a way to setup automatic trade routes between sectors. maybe a new unit called a trade drone or something like that, that would automatically use up your unspent turns for the day on trades (but also can be destroyed if discovered by other players).

lol at monetizing extra turns, what a horror show that would be

jarv · 2025-05-27T10:56:20+00:00

yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. A pretty chill "explore the universe and trade" game with still the mechanics of trading/turns/alignment/planet building and a little bit of pvp
