I built a website which offers real-time statistics for Philadelphia's Regional Rail train system: https://www.septastats.com/ This lets public transit passengers answer questions like: - "My train is getting later and later, is it actually moving?" - "My train is getting later and later, has it actually STARTED its journey?" (sometimes the answer is "no", sadly) - "Is it just my train, or are many trains running lat…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
The trading bot sounded fun. I was always curious about the bots that were apparently used on betting sites like betfair to perform arbitrage.
I one quadrupled my capital with a betting bot running a martingale strategy. Then I made it run overnight and lost all the funds. Turns out there aren't any betting strategies that can last over the long run. With a martingale strategy the chances of losing are miniscule but if you play 10,000 rounds at a 0.01% of losing, you're going to lose once. And that's when you lose all your capital.
Hoping to add a bunch more services and webhooks soon.
It's one part Android client and one part Scala backend (though there's some Scala in the client too). While I'm fairly pleased with the UX and UI I was able to create (given that I really don't consider them my speciality), the backend is the bit that keeps my interest now. That uses Akka, Akka Persistence (i.e. it's event sourced), and Akka HTTP among other things. The clients communicate with it via websockets.
The details aren't exposed to users but it uses public key authentication so as to not burden users with passwords/PINs. Each app generates a keypair when first used, and QR codes are used to make changing account ownership simple.
Given the sources of this data, I'm pretty sure I'm not even allowed to profit off of this. Not really a problem as I'd be doing this in my spare time anyway.
The data-visualization side of it (e.g. https://iscanadafair.ca/data-visualization/example-usage/) isn't my strong-suit, but it's fun to muck around in regardless.
We've never made any money with it, it's only costing us money. Learning new techniques and seeing the site being used makes up for that.
Working on a proof of a modular exponentiation algorithm in Lean with a focus on performance. Hoping to be able to extract a low-level ASM or C implementation from the proof.
Any chance you'd have a link to a repository where you publish your work ?
