I'm building a sports analytics platform, where users can write code against a hosted sports database, add commentary, and publish to build a sports data science portfolio. All published articles include the code, and any reader can fork someone else's work to do their own work building off others. If anyone wants to learn sports analytics, I'm looking for beta users. (Also open to adding non-sports datasets if someo…

How likely would it be to opensource projects like this? I think many programmers want to do something good ( preferably by learning) and are willing to spend time on projects like this.
Quite likely! I'm planning on making the gorillas identification project open source as there's actually quite a lot to it (the core AI functionality, management of lots of images and gorillas data, making sure it all works fine on a crappy connection with old Androids).
Ps. Don't forget to submit it here ;)!
I want to build an ultimate SaaS boilerplate / starter as a commercial product. The audacious goal is something like “build a Trello clone from git init to a live product in under 10 minutes” Looking for like-minded folks with any of the following skills: - strong React - UI/UX design - TypeScript - AWS - SaaS building - writers for docs, tutorials, articles, evangelization - product / project manager
How much are you offering for these services and why is it different to any existing SaaS boilerplates on the market
I want to lean in heavily into existing AWS services and have everything e2e pre-wired, testable with great CI experience and essentially following best AWS practices.

I would think that actually thinking about and defining everything that a Trello clone to do would take more than 10 minutes... Are you imagining a "software requirements" -> "product" compiler type of deal? Or what do you envision the workflow would look like?

There is some unexplored potential in opt-in moderation systems. Where instead of singular entity providing content distribution, content amplification and content moderation you can pick and choose what topics need to be filtered and what teams/individuals will do the filtering for you.
Sounds like Reddit. (being serious and not snark there. I quite like Reddit)

Hi there. Seeing as you are in DRC. I've worked on a number of projects there. Maybe you might be interested in checking out an app we made to help NGO/media etc learn about and manage their digital and physical security? Lots of groups on the ground there have used it in situations like kidnap, targeted malware etc. It's called Umbrella. It's free, opens source, on ios and Android available in many languages. If you…
>Umbrella...kidnap, targeted malware This looks like a behavioral modification tool, to prevent kidnap, etc. Two questions: is there a scenario database of DRC "actualized risk", that describe real kidnaps, extortion, etc ideally with root cause analysis? What is your revenue model[1]? Okay, 3 questions: what do you think of tools like what NSO provides for client recovery? 1 - Speculation: do you make revenue by pro…
So at the moment the advice we give is not country specific. We have slightly different levels depending on risk, threat model and skill. Building a logic to do country by country was something we tried but is incredibly hard.
Our revenue model is based on a few things. We got grants to build the initial version, we also create paid white label versions for organisations that want their own and we do security training and consultancy services.
Regarding NSO Group. Well considering we work every day with journalists and activists, some of whom have been targeted by NSO...to say we despise what NSO does is probably an understatement.

That sounds super interesting. Two questions: 1) Do you work remotely or are you in DRC? 2) What are some good ways to find job opportunities at the intersection of software engineering and wildlife conversation?
I spent two years working in DRC and have now moved to a remote position (based in the US). There are a few organizations I've worked with that do great work: Allen Institute for AI (EarthRanger), SmartParks.org and Conservation X Labs. There are surely others, but these offer products directly to national parks to improve their capabilities.
Seeking motivated cofounder(s) interested in legaltech/edtech/govtech. I am a domain expert in Veterans Disability law, 1.7mil in revenue (me and 3 paralegals) in 2020, formed Veteran Disability boutique firm in 2021. Looking to build the "Clio for Veterans Disability Claims." Although this is a single, niche area of administrative law, there are more than enough customers on an individual (veterans with claims, accr…
Hi, current Vet with disability here, I would like to work with you on this project if possible. Medically retired from US Army as well (blue card). My domain is cybersecurity and IT management, actually in last year of BS for cybersecurity and IT management. Worked as PM for a different software company for payment processing, had to quit due to real life. I would like to help myself along with other vets with VA sy…
This is a great idea! Can we do this monthly? I am having conversations with a few people to start Conduit Foundation: require all new construction to be EV ready. Have conduit installed whenever we build new parking. It will make it future proof to pull cable and install chargers later. This is a one time building code change with a continuous yield of new charge points. Hit me up if you have any interest.
Second on the monthly idea. Will you be lobbying at the federal level of focused on state/local?
There are no federal/state building codes. There is a central authority (ICC), all cities start with ICC code and make modifications. We can also work with ICC, but the adoption cadence will be slow. ICC updates building codes yearly, but cities do not make yearly changes and every city does this differently.
We can with cities directly. Most city govts would be easier to approach and work with (we pay property taxes and live in the area!). We also have to work with ICC, its an international standard, we can think of all countries and not just US.

An alternative approach might be to use an existing popular serialization format such as Protocol Buffers, Apache Thrift, or Cap'N'Proto and create or improve tools that convert to/from human-readable text formats to the serialized binary format. For example: - Protocol buffers have a text format mode: https://medium.com/@nathantnorth/protocol-buffers-text-forma... - Thrift has readable-thrift which is a human-friend…
Yes, I had a look at these formats before embarking on my venture. I listed the things I found important in the comparison matrix: https://github.com/kstenerud/concise-encoding#-compared-to-o... To your points: - Protobufs is not an ad-hoc format, which is a big reason why low-friction formats like JSON are popular. There are many use cases where formats like protobufs are clearly the superior choice, but CE doesn't…
Cap'n Proto's text format works pretty much exactly like Protobuf's. You can use it in all the same ways.
