Ask HN: What are you working on?

Project: I am creating a database of all Finnish Instagram users. It's been a long and hard task to do, but it's currently looking pretty good, I have over 250k accounts that are considered Finnish and their posts data. Now to actually think what I will do with this data...

More info: I am currently building a website to showcase the data, but in the mean time I have a Instagram account where I for example once a weekly update what are the most popular hashtags in the Finnish Instagram community. https://www.instagram.com/iigeesuomi/

While working with clients and partners at Alaris Prime, my co-founder and I realized a big under-served market. These are projects that are too large for UpWorks, Freelancer, Gigster, Guru, Project4Hire but too low for IDEO, Leo Burnett, Razorfish, and other digital agencies of the world.

When we work with our customers we make sure that their projects get done. Even with the involvement of other partners, we make sure that we take the responsibility of our customers’ project. Sometimes, our customers go on a vacation while we execute the projects with highly qualified professionals that has been vetted by our team.

http://WorkSigma.com is an evolution of that pattern, and we want to formalize it, make it big, and be able to help more customers. We want to be a trusted place to get projects built - be it for the web or connected mobile devices.

i am a student and i recently started an organisations that provides short bootcamps (1 to 3 days), tech-talks and hackathons for other students at our university[1]. While i think my university provides a very challenging education, it's short on teaching practical skills (like python, react etc.). This is ok, the university should focus on what they are good at and not "waste their time" with teaching frameworks etc. We don't have any experiences with these bootcamp-style formats yet, maybe one can chime in and give us advice how to best approach it. We want to provide it for free and rely on other students who want to share their knowledge.
