I'm working on solving the problem of allowing non-technical people communicate about math without needing to learn Latex. There is also an element of classroom organization/grading optimization along the lines of gradescope. All code for the project is GPL.

I'm working on a few projects, from one/two days to platforms.

The first is OS and is a simple nodeJS environment to deploy applications via lambda and express quickly. Sort of like nestJS except less decorators and more functional (https://vramework.io/). I already know of a few other colleagues that rolled their own propriety versions of this to support enterprise and cloud deployments so decided to OS it.

The other OS project is a strongly typed postgres/mysql driver. The idea is to generate typescript definitions directly from postgres (https://github.com/vramework/schemats) and then have a think layer ontop of pg-node that gives you strongly typed queries (https://github.com/vramework/postgres-typed).

An open-source project I spent a few years on the core team is https://deepstream.io/, a realtime-server that allows you to mix and match multiple streaming protocols (mqtt/websocket/others) and allow those clients to talk to each other using pub-sub and records. I'm not longer working for it but wanted to give it a shout out!

On a non OS project, I have been working on an immersive audio platform for a while now. The main goal is to allow users to pick and choose how audio books progress, and also have a live session mode which allows users to record their pulse / answer questions and a few other metrics and associate it with sentences. I pretty much built and deployed all of it but require some advice/brainstorming on how to proceed now. I built it to satisfy an itch when I was practicing shamanism during the first lockdown when I was in-between contracts / taking time off (enjamon.com)

I also want to build a simple web-pages strategy game based around eco-education, but don't have the bandwidth . If anyone is interested in mixing together gamification and eco-village building might be a fun conversion to bounce ideas!

All the OS projects above were used to support my personal/a couple professional projects over the last few years.

I want to demonstrate the advantages of capability based security in actual examples that people can use. I'd like to have one as my daily driver.

I'm willing to commit to reading and constructively commenting on projects in this thread.

I work on one building block of climate tech ― energy demand flexibility software. Useful in all kinds of settings, like industry or microgrids.

The collaborative aspect is that [our platform](https://github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures) is open source, under a permissive license.

I'm trying to grow a startup on top of it, but the whole idea of doing impactful work is that it's being used to speed up the energy transition everywhere. Less re-inventing the wheel. If you are involved in any projects where energy demand flexibility should be unearthed, please consider using FlexMeasures ― with us or without us. Happy to chat.

I'm building a sensor network management tool for small computers e.g. rasp pis and the like. It'll be open source and solve a lot of annoying configuration details with hosting web services or doing point to point communications between devices.

I could really use some help designing a decent front-end.
