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 p…
From my recent post: "The thing that could bring the most change to the world is a system that finds everybody a thousand or more best friends based on psychological proximity and compatibility. Don’t tell me it’s impossible to predict whether two people are likely to get along or not based on a bunch of factors that can be analyzed with various techniques including AI. What would the world look like if every single…
You might find the novel The Affinities by Robert Charles Wilson interesting: https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Affinities.html?id=...
Got this idea browsing rotten tomatoes and realizing you can't order lists based on users scores. And the API is private. So, putting your score there is basically donating it to a private for-profit company.
The technical side would be easy I guess, a UI and a DB. You would need to populate it but there are some open databases already [0] and you can always scrap IMDB. The recommendation engine would require some ML that I am not familiar with but we can always figure something out. The tough part would be to have people come in and provide scoring. This requires marketing on a 0$ budget and/or networking which is a people skill I absolutely don't have.
If anybody have investigated that space, I'd be willing to help on the grunt/technical side.

The UI would be important, something easily accessible, searchable, dynamic.
This is hard work and with no hope of monetizing it so I guess its a lost cause but that would allow to have better insights when casting your own vote.

how to check your work? do you have github?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm not sure I 100% follow. It says "bike computer" do you mean a literal computer attached to the bicycle? I saw the github it shows some software runing on PineTime. Edit: actually I guess that is not the PineTime in the photo, knob is on the right side.
A bike computer is the name for a device you put on your bike to show you useful info like speed etc. Typically they are about as flexible as calculators, but this CPU has been shown to run Doom, so it's a general-purpose computer too :) https://github.com/next-hack/nRF52840Doom
I don't know if this is something I'd want to build, but I spent 5 years at an outfit that designed/built a variety of fitness devices like this, including some of the consoles on gym equipment you may have used.
You mentioned 'figuring out Bluetooth (BLE, please)" in another post. What are you having trouble with? The sample code in the Nordic SDK is pretty good in most cases.
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
Always something I wanted to do more of.
react2solid is a ReactJS to SolidJS code converter https://github.com/rrjanbiah/react2solid I have started the development today (after months of thinking & gathering ideas). Any contribution is welcome. Would prefer contributions in to the code transformer rules; something similar to https://github.com/rrjanbiah/react2solid/blob/main/_transfor...
I’m using elixir (Phoenix) as a jumping off point. I need help with design and frontend stuff. My css foo is atrocious but I have a vision of what I want this thing to be and look like.
If anyone wants to help, send me an email (in bio).
