#863So far I have a few users in the "trial" and they are really helping me to push it further.
It is a SAAS to improve the implementation of tracking in your product :) - have a look. Always looking for feedback.

#864I did get some extra time because one of the few things that were actually closed down was my Aikido dojo. But mostly I exploited the fact that friends in Italy and Belgium could not go out at all and... I started an online RPG campaign using Discord as a platform and Mini-six for the rules.
We are having a blast - I hope that the players will like enough to keep playing even after they get back to a more normal schedule in their life (me, as the GM, I have done some up-front investment in preparing lots of content and so I think I will be able to run it even when I go back to 3/week practice).

#866It provides free email price alerts for an increasingly popular football gambling site in the UK: Football Index.

#870I've now integrated it with a couple of systems which allow me to get OHLC data as well as Regulatory News Service articles. And, in order to improve the quality of the forecasts, I'll soon begin integrating it with other news sources.
I've added it to (Collective 2)[https://collective2.com/details/128426551] and its currently making a loss as a strategy. This is good news because it's allowed me to identify why that loss might be occurring and where I could improve my strategy (I've found quite a few improvements in the last few weeks). The most recent improvements are active on a non-visible strategy on collective2
This forecaster could be applied to any global exchange. And I'm looking forward to the day where I can trade with it myself, sell the signals as a service, or sell it for a tidy sum.
