I've been writing this app that lets teachers group kid together based on their performance on an assessment. The idea is that you'd try putting things together in groups that answered questions differently so that they could talk about it and either reinforce their mental models (or test just how robust they are) by teaching a peer or ridding themselves of misconceptions by having a peer help them out. I wrote a GA in Python a few months ago that would take vectors of answers and would group them together and it worked surprisingly well. Now I'm designing the webapp for teachers to orchestrate the whole thing (LMS integration, seeing groups, etc.). I wrote a prototype in Angular 1.x and now that I understand what I'm trying to accomplish really well, it's become my pet project to learn React as I implement a more robust version of it.

I have several courses on Udemy.com. They sometimes go slightly out of date as frameworks release breaking changes. Right now, I'm just about to upload some updates to my most popular course on React/Redux: https://www.udemy.com/react-redux/?couponCode=HAOW8983

Thanks for your course. I was a little wary of Udemy courses because they're too cheap, but yours was the first one that I bought and I loved.

A Twitter bot called @AmazonArtReview that tries to find funny 1-star reviews of media on Amazon. It's using some crude machine learning and just a fun side project.

Finding humor's tough! I've read some papers on finding humor in reviews, e.g. https://cs224d.stanford.edu/reports/OliveiraLuke.pdf. That's been helpful. It'd be great if I could use the Yelp review set for finding humor as they did but the humor doesn't translate between data sets. Mostly it's still manual curation, which is ok too.

Been writing iii and extensions for it the past week.

https://github.com/Foxboron/iii

https://github.com/Foxboron/wii

iii is an reimplementation of ii (http://tools.suckless.org/ii/) with TLS support and a few misc features.

Currently adding small tools over it to make an IRC client. The plan is to have iii as the client, wii as the web-protocol-client and then write tii as a terminal app which can either communicate with wii or iii directly.

It's a neat project to learn go and write small simple programs that come together.

The end goal is to also try stream some development and see how that goes. I really enjoy it so far.
