Hi, Im Richard. Working on Okappy (okappy.com) a B2B Connected Workforce Management Platform which applies social and market networking technology to a real business need. The need to communicate and collaborate when working with employees often at different locations, when working with multiple subcontractors and when working for different clients.

Our customers have created over 60,000 connections on the platform. We've broke even and have achieved 6 figure ARR. We're looking to really scale the business now so interested in having a conversation if you have sales, marketing or business development expertise.

Get in touch through our website or find me on Linkedin.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm not a developer, but this looks great! Just curious, how does it works for music rights? Funny enough I'm looking for a developer too for my app about vinyl records, posted here too.

Thanks!! As for music rights, all music is uploaded by users :) I'd like to add the ability to purchase or stream music but it would take so much work. Your app looks fantastic btw!

Got it. Yea stream purchase would take your project to a whole new level, I understand

Ah, thanks!

I have an early prototype of a site that allows people to chain together reasoning in a visual sense, which also propagates truth so that people can know if a conclusion is asserted to be valid/proven. This contrasts from the current definition of "argument mapping", and platforms like Kialo, in that it's more constructive, with logical machinery underpinning it. For instance, if someone has a conclusion that "Earth'…

Thanks for letting me know about Kialo. It takes a pro-cons approach breaking things down into modular claims. What's not enough?

A claim could be A->C

Supported by separate claims: Since A; A->B; B->C, etc?

Anyone interested in (lucid) dreaming? I've got a side/passion project that I've been working on for... quite a while. It's called https://oneironotes.com and it's a dream journal app for (lucid) dreamers. Think Evernote (or well, that's a bit old now... let's say Notion or Bear or Standard Notes... so, a note-taking app) specifically for "oneironauts". Currently there's a pilot version as a PWA available for a lifet…

As a fellow dreamer, cool project! I’ll have to look more into it. However, I’ve been dying to ask another developer/dreamer, what are your thoughts on a video game that trains your brain to do reality checks?

More like, if it's that A and B are collectively sufficient to guarantee C, and A and B are true, then you know, visually, that C is proven. If one of A or B are contested and (validly) claimed false, then the truth/proof state propagates and you know, visually, that C is not proven.

And then yes, C can be used to support something else, so you can chain multiple together. Kialo - and really, the whole warrant/claim method of argument-mapping - doesn't have the concept of truth (or sufficiency, or necessity) built into the machinery.

It goes deeper than that, there's a distinction between syntax and semantics (or form and content) - all of these design decisions are driving exactly how the project evolves.

H, I'm Marc from Montreal. I'm working in the e-commerce SAAS space. Willing to travel. My skills are mostly technical. I also have first-hand experience of the industry and am my own customer. I would love to talk with others that are in the same space and have complimentary skills. In my off time I enjoy non-fiction, D&D, hip-hop music and the news.

Hi, I’m Dave. I’m a product manager that is sick of operations & other PMs asking me to write simple SQL queries or create tableau dashboards. I’m creating a tool that translates human text into simple sql queries to enable data analysis for everyone without needing to learn SQL. “How many [column name] did we have on [Date]” This isn’t easy, but if done successfully will be extremely valuable.

Really interesting idea. As someone who has been in a data analyst role for roughly 9 years and frustrated by the lack of effort others have to learn SQL or even a BI tool for reporting needs it sounds like an interesting idea. Would be interested in learning more about how you are tackling the issue. Career background is Marketing & Analytics, but I have been doing development work for 6+ (NodeJS,Postgresql,Python)…

Seems you understand the pain point. There have been numerous people who have asked for help learning SQL, and they never see it through. On the other side of the problem, analysts at companies are not there for simple SQL queries, it’s an inefficient use of time as opposed to in-depth analysis.

Email me at DPublicEmail@protonmail.com and I’ll give you my personal contact information.

Very cool. I have been thinking about the same idea but more towards geospatial data. Whats the best way to contact you?

Let’s definitely chat - Shoot me an email to dpublicemail@protonmail.com
