I built an English-speaking website that helps immigrants settle in Berlin.[0] It has been my full time job for a while. Most English speakers know about it, but it's nearly invisible to Germans, who would also benefit from the content and tools I have worked on. I'm currently adding an automated AI translation feature to my custom static site generator, so that I can translate the website to multiple languages and r…

#722I’m scraping a list of every single UK company that has raised funding in the last 3 years - with details of how much and when - after finding out the info is available but hidden in certain filings on the Companies House website.
