I'm looking to collaborate with a game developer. I have an idea for a special kind of EdTech game for a niche audience and would like to build a business out of bringing such games to market.

I'm a software engineer in the data science and web backend space myself, but would like to be involved in this more from a business angle. I would take care of marketing and would front a marketing budget.

The developer would get no cash compensation, but a majority share in the profits generated. The total amount of time investment required would probably measure in the 100s (rather than 1000s) of person-hours and the timescale is very flexible.

Please email gyulai dot a22 at zedernkind dot com.

Visualizing political data :)

I've done various 'pet projects' over the years in this realm, from exploring political bias in word embeddings to simple voting maps showing regional shifts, to comparisons of actual crime vs fear of crime across various demographics. I've even gotten to partner up with actual journalism outlets.

I love doing this stuff but I'd like to collaborate with others (either with technical or promotional capacity) to make these kinds of tools more useful, relevant, and ultimately actually inform people better.

If anyone is in the XR space (Sway/Wlroots/Monado) I'm slowly working on getting into that.

Full disclosure I am a supporter/consumer of SimulaVR and I'm trying to learn their codebase however I'm coming from a different place/easier stuff eg. React/Node/Python/C++. So transitioning to Haskell/Godot/the above has been difficult. I'm kinda looking for someone interested in this space who can easily look through that code/read it and know how it works.

What I'm looking for is kind of a mentor that can glance through the codebase/figure out the "abstraction" of how the code works and then I can work off of that as I continue to learn the stack. Also the Nix ecosystem is new to me, trying to learn that as well, I use a Valve Index, working on changing stuff/rebuilding/trying it out in real time.

I'm in their discord but I'm trying to learn this on the side so I can be part of the XR space in the future. For personal or professional means, one day I will have one of those Simula One devices so I want to be able to work on the software it uses.

As far as quid pro quo what I work on in day job is random stuff in web space. I'm a CRUD/code-gluer type developer. I develop/work on an eSign/video platform for example. I just have not done much work on lower level/more native stuff like this. So I can offer help in that space, setup servers, build some API, bridge APIs together, reverse engineer some API, I can use cross platform tech like Electron to make "native" apps too. Draw an interface and I can build it in html/css/js as I was a front-ender for a while.

I realize this is probably not what collaboration means, my bad about that. I want to "collaborate" on this space but I'm a noob is what I'm saying.

Will note this is not an immediate thing, I am aware it's going to take me a while to learn this and I have some other things to take care of before I completely dive into this on my spare time.

Probably not the place to post this, but I'm directing and producing a couple of short films and it'd be great to find people who want to help in any aspect of the post-production process: musicians, designers, VFX/3D artists... If anyone is interested in knowing more about this, please reach me out to hello@borjamoya.com

Interesting! Email sent.

Thank you!

For those of you asking in the email, I'm working on two genres: (1) Crime/horror. It's basically it's a scene from a feature script I'm writing. The feature is a crime / thriller film, but this specific scene I'm turning into a short leans more towards the horror genre. And (2) Heist film. I'll produce this one after this first one. It's a bit more ambitious so if anyone wants to collaborate on this one it'd be great to start working as soon as possible.

Also if anyone wants to collaborate on the production process on set, I'll be filming these in Madrid, Spain.

Are you aware of the open knowledge foundation? If I remember they're involved in this kind of stuff.

I’m happy to collaborate on Authorizer - a hardware password manager based on old Android phones.

Next milestone: smartcard integration over USB.

I would like to build a lib to abstract USB Gadgets on Linux. This is necessary for adding smartcard support (e.g., to store your GPG keys in Authorizer). I already did a lot of research about it, but more on an amateur level as I’m not a kernel dev.

One further milestone on Authorizer is finding a next device (cheap, not too old Android, smaller, …) to base the development on.

Project: https://github.com/tejado/Authorizer

Ah, cool! No, I wasn't aware of them... thanks for the pointer!

Greetings, I’m working on my first “real” Rust project which is an IRC bot for the #f1 channel on Libera. All it does is post the results of a race into the channel. You can find the code at: https://github.com/obviyus/hamverbot

It’s my first time building something async in Rust and using Tokio so I’d love to have some experienced Crustacean eyeballs on it. Please feel free to drop suggestions, pull requests or general advice for working with Rust.

Cheers.
