We're building the first political party that comes with an app.

Imagine if American democracy was improved 10x. A fairer, more representative, more effective government for everyone.

The goal is to start small, provide a 10x better experience for citizens, and gradually overtake/integrate with the 2 major parties: - The Software layer for the "hardware" of existing political institutions - Better voting - deliberate in app, and then vote all at once in a bloc - Better tools outside of voting - perks, feedback, and more

Work with me! Shoot me a message at ztang230@gmail.com. Would love to talk to anyone interested! (or tell me why the idea sucks)

I want collaborate on publishable ML research. I'm currently working as a machine learning engineer, but doing a lot more engineering than learning. I'm also applying to PhD programs with focuses in knowledge graphs and common sense reasoning, but willing to learn any other field. If I don't get in then some independent research is still a good career move. I have ideas of my own (goal oriented question asking) but h…

how're you finding collaborators rn?

I do research in programming languages, compilers, and program analysis for a living. I’ve got some ideas outside the day job in the same area I’m looking for collaborators on: 1. I am interested in exploring program synthesis techniques tailored for people who don’t want to go deep in learning PL theory or tooling. I am specifically interested in this related to some modeling and simulation projects I work on. 2. I…

Would love your thoughts on github.com/civboot/fngi and http://civboot.org. A set of rather radical PL requirements :)

I've started working on a couple side projects that I would love to find some collaborators for.

1 is a broadcasting app for smart speakers (alexa, google home, etc).

The other is a tool for newsletters and publications for tracking attribution and links.

happy to chat about these further if anyone is interested. email is in my profile.

There are inefficiencies in the investment banking world where marketing materials and other pitch deck materials is too manual. We have highly compensated individuals perfecting PowerPoints but too many of the slide creation companies are not relevant for what bankers do. Would love to create something and have ideas on how to make it work but limited tech experience.

It blows my mind that this isn't a solved problem. Isn't there a substantial profit motive in investment banks to allow analysts to do more with their time? And I guess the other people with this motive are analysts themselves, but they have no time in their 110 hour work weeks to sleep, let alone do something like this.

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar…

Hi, I would be interested to help a bit, as I think human trafficking is disgusting and should be stopped. Do you have a contact detail - my personal email is in my HN profile)?

I'm working on a project to develop a dispatch system for volunteer emergency couriers, aka blood bikes. They deliver samples, blood, donated breast milk and equipment between hospitals around the UK, as well as supply blood to air ambulances.

The app is meant to replace a system of pen, paper and spreadsheets that the service is mostly being run on. I've been working directly with the charities for it to best suit their needs.

It uses React, JavaSript, Material UI, Jest, Redux, Amplify and React Testing Library. Eventually I'd like to develop a React Native mobile app too.

There are some details on the issues page https://github.com/platelet-app/platelet/issues about some of the work that still needs to be done.

I have a Discord too although it's a little quiet - https://discord.gg/tWhCM98ckB

I'd be glad to hear from anyone who feels like they'd want to contribute. If you have any questions, feel free to ping me (Ducky) on Discord.

I'm interested. I lead software equity research at a global investment bank. Research work spans company-specific research, thematic research, and work related to IPO's and other advisory projects where appropriate from a regulatory perspective. Skills for this include relationship management, marketing, writing, modeling, etc. Also lots of networking.

I self-taught programming back in my teens and studied some CS in college, but my academic background is in physics/math. I'm presently self-teaching the mathematical backgrounds of machine learning.

I'd love to work with people who want to create free educative games for kids, games fun enough to keep kids playing while developing their brains in positive ways. Most games I found are infested with ads (hence not free), sprinkled with lots of dark patters and the games are not good enough I'd even pay for them. Maybe there are some free gems out there already but are quite hard to find. My kid is 4yo and it has b…

Just throwing a few things out there:

- We have calls with grandparents regularly. My kids will say hi, but then they go play (usually on a screen so they are not too wild while we talk). Myself and my parents would love to have a game (and be willing to pay) where the grandparents and kids can play together on, say a TV, while having the phone/tablet run the video call.

- We had this problem with "low quality" games until we got a Nintendo Switch. Games aren't free/cheap like on phones, and so we have fewer. The kids focus more on a limited set of games and they're not full of ads.
