Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (February 2024)

#1

Post by theycallhermax »

This thread is open to anyone seeking for volunteer projects and anyone who is seeking volunteers for their projects. SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: A good example would be to write the name of the project, and a short description. Also write down the project website and git forge URL, and write the programming languages it uses. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" for people seeking projects to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING PROJECTS" comments.

SEEKING PROJECTS: If comfortable doing so, write down your name, and programming languages that you know. Also don't forget to write down some of the projects that you have volunteered on, or some of the projects that you made, and what you are interested in working on. Optionally, you can write your email, if you want opportunities to be discussed privately. Also, please don't forget to start your comment off with "SEEKING PROJECTS" for people seeking volunteers to find your comment easier, and not get it mixed up with the "SEEKING VOLUNTEERS" comments.

"good first issue" or "easy" tag in issues is a good place to start looking for something to do. Or DM me and we can find something interesting.

SEEKING PROJECTS: Java developer and general geek, comfortable with a wide variety of languages & technologies (Java, PHP, shell, K8S, Cloud shit, PostgreSQL, Solr, etc). My current freelance gig isn't very challenging, so I have some time and energy to put towards something interesting.

Interests are pretty wide ranging, from FOSS to electronic music to societal problems. Feel free to hit me up if you think you'd benefit from my assistance. Am in GMT+1.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: GoStreams (or Lightning)

It's an almost real-time data streaming service for the polygon.io data provider.

It's a project that I started a couple of years ago during the pandemic. I've developed several data-sinks for this service (KDB, QuestDB, Postgres), but it's become more of a Theseus' Ship, development is never ending!

The aim is to build a backtester that will attach to this data service.

https://github.com/tranquilo12/goStreams

The README is outdated, but the gist of the project is that it's trying to be a service that can download all the historical data (for the requested tickers), and will stream the live data to a data-sink, without any issues, and with a good terminal ui.

I'm also thinking of integrating the Charm's libraries with this too, love a good TUI. (https://charm.sh/)

Anyone up for this? You can find my email in my profile.

I'm interested in building this out as a project, it will not be made into a company etc. The repo will be public.

SEEKING PROJECTS: I'm a pretty senior engineer at a series-a funded startup (BeeKeeperAI, we're enabling untrusted parties to work together with fancy confidential computing) having fun with golang, python, and rust. I emerged from UCSF having built and published in machine learning space. Broadly, I'm a guy who likes to build things and I'd love to help you! pav.gup at gmail dot com.
