I work at a statup: https://www.pricekart.com as Asst. Product Manger, Data Scientist and Digital Marketer. Yes you read it right, in startups you have to perform multiple roles. I also write blogs and article for my startup. It is so much fun to work in a startup as you get a wide exposure in multiple fields. I have learned a lot and our startup is growing really fast.

Literally no one doubts this. Dont know why you had to put it so condescendingly.

We're building a hosted SaaS and open source enterprise version of Apache Airflow [1] at Astronomer [2].

The goal of our startup is to solve all of the pain points where the framework stops and make the best version of operationalizing Airflow on Kubernetes; and authoring, deploying, and running DAGs in a distributed execution environment in production at scale.

It's pretty interesting to learn and see how features like orchestration and dynamic provisioning on a platform actually work all the way down.

Working on an open source, fast, fuzzy search engine that's dead simple to set-up and run: https://github.com/typesense/typesense People who want a good search engine (for instant search etc.) today either need to go for a cloud hosted proprietary offering or have to learn to set-up Elasticsearch and spend a lot of time tweaking it to support typo tolerance. Trying to change that status quo.

Looks pretty cool. Is the idea similar to Algolia or different?

Because that's the best part.

Making a gamified keyboard for IOS, the hardest part is the auto-predictive.

What is the goal of the keyboard?

""Improve"" your writing, maybe. It started as a joke, we simulated with some friends, in a telegram group, a game where you write, but the game favor using words not commonly used, and it assign a score to your writing in realtime. In our "simulation" we scored ourself (that was the joke):

"that was part of the peculiarity +12 of the game."

see how I've put a random :) value next to a word? Wouldn't be cool if that is assigned by the "game"?

Well from that evolved, what if I write a "system" that can do that anywhere and in any app you use? And then it hit me, that is a mobile keyboard! So, it is an experiment at this point, I'm building it.

Sounds amusing +2
