CPAP.com Unlike 98% of the industry, we sell CPAP equipment for cash prices. This means that you, not the insurance company, are the respected and valued customer. The "cash CPAP" space means: 1. A market incentive to build people first instead of billing code first products. 2. A market comfort items that would never be produced in a billing code world. 3. A system where it pays to pick up the phone and know all abo…

You could possibly also try to partner with organizations that are focused on different special interest areas to get them to help coordinate getting the data.
Yes, I think for special needs students or subsets of that, this would be a good way to add supplemental data. For example, a parent wants to do a search of public schools with resources for autistic children near Boston. That's a good use case and there probably is an organization with that data.
It might not be the full-scope of what you are trying to do, but it might be a way to help bootstrap part of your development.

Sequiturs: https://sequiturs.com Sequiturs is a platform for rigorous and civil discussion. Discussion revolves around arguments, which consist of a series of premises and conclusions. This argument format requires coherence, which improves the quality of the views asserted, and makes it easier to identify where one might disagree.
I think I've seen a few attempts at this before -- do you have some awareness of the previous ones and a comparison of how yours is similar or different? The name is clever; as a Latin-speaker I keep wanting it to be "sequuntur". https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sequuntur But I bet that would be a lot harder for non-Latin speakers to remember!
As for other attempts in this space, I've encountered argüman [0], TruthMapping [1], debategraph [2], and Rationale [3]. I like a lot about those projects, and Sequiturs certainly shares with them the idea that there's enormous room for improvement in the way we discuss ideas online, and that structure is key to that. They all have an important difference with Sequiturs, though, which is their emphasis on mapping. I see the format they use as attempting to generate a sense of what the 'argument space', so to speak, looks like: the format is basically saying, "Here are all these different claims someone could make around this topic and here's how they could feed into each other or conflict with each other".
By contrast, Sequiturs' format emphasizes logical coherence in the series of steps that comprise an argument. It highlights the reasoning that leads from starting point to conclusion. By putting the reasoning in focus, the platform facilitates iterative refinement of an argument into its strongest form. Here's how that works.
Suppose I make an argument like: https://sequiturs.com/arguments/tech-companies-should-not-be.... Someone could come along as they did today and comment on step 3: https://sequiturs.com/arguments/tech-companies-should-not-be.... That comment on step 3 makes me realize I could word that step better, so I revise the argument: https://sequiturs.com/arguments/tech-companies-should-not-be....
What emerges from discussion on Sequiturs is an argument for some position boiled down to its essence--to its most digestible, shareable form. If I want to convince you that backdoors are a bad idea, I can send you a link to my argument on Sequiturs, and it's immediately clear what I think you should believe and why. That's not the case with the other, mapping-based tools, because they are more about charting the space of possible points and counterpoints, and less about yielding rigorous sequences of reasoning (you could call them proofs or syllogisms, but those terms connote a bit too much formality and strictness for my taste).
I'd love to know if you know of other attempts in this space. And I'd love to know what you think about Sequiturs!

No. It wouldn't be very practical, nor very useful. The overlap between people who could self-host it (node.js data collectors, Redis caches, EC2 and Aurora instances, background workers, etc) and whose analytics requirements aren't more advanced than what it offers, is probably nonexistent. There's already a bunch of good self-hosted options out there.
Well, fwiw there is no well-designed and useful self-hosted analytics solution out there at the moment. Piwik is useful but not exactly a pinnacle of good design. Pretty, but inconvenient. Mint is well-designed, but functionally it's next to useless for anything outside of basic vanity metrics (I used it extensively, have three licenses). So there is a niche. Though I hear you on not wanting to deal with related supp…
Zatresi - http://www.zatresi.si/ It's a map of sport clubs (gyms, karate dojos, swimming pools, etc) in Slovenia. Why I made it? After moving back to Slovenia I started looking for a traditional Karate dojo. My choice would be constrained by hour of training and dojo philosophy (traditional karate vs sports karate). It turned out to be really difficult to find all the dojos nearby, as they neither on Google Maps, and…
To exist it requires zero maintenance, and hosting costs 0.30 EUR per month. Whoa, cool! How is it so inexpensive? That's an order of magnitude cheaper than a DO droplet. Or to put it another way: I'm curious where the 0.30 comes from. It seems like it would be either 0.00 or >1.00
You can even get cheaper than that. Although LowEndSpirit does not offer a dedicated IPv4 address, they use haproxy to send requests to the correct VPS based on the host header.

https://www.bicycl.com Bicycl is a calendar for your life's work. Record what you learn and accomplish each day (or week, month, etc). Organize these micronotes into stories of progress over time. See lots of cool data come to life. Screenshots coming. I'm testing things out right now in beta, but if you want to give it a twirl, I can send out a few invitations to first comers.
