There are inefficiencies in the investment banking world where marketing materials and other pitch deck materials is too manual. We have highly compensated individuals perfecting PowerPoints but too many of the slide creation companies are not relevant for what bankers do. Would love to create something and have ideas on how to make it work but limited tech experience.

#342Hi, I'm an ex-big-tech employee working on FeatureAsk.com It's 2022 and yet if you ever think of a feature for an app or a product you use, there's no good place to voice it and feel heard. I want to change that. Looking to collaborate with fellow engineers and people with a strong product/growth sense.
@blueberrychpstx yeah, I'm familiar with UserVoice. I want to build a public UserVoice.

#344I’m working on a search engine crawled by users themselves. If I think about it, I'm not interested in 99% of the web. Therefore I don't need to deal with exhaustively crawling the entire web. Hypothetically, if I could access only the sites visited by the HN crowd, that would be fine by me. Somebody in an art community might feel similarly. If there were some metric the crawlers could use to rate a page (time spent…
I kind of dig this idea.

Really? I suspect it's actually pretty efficient getting analysts to do this and paying them for 40 out of the 110 hours they work each week.

Thank you! It's been slow progress because I'm a freelancer in a quiet period, so that's taken precedent. But will start posting progress soon.

I'd be pretty happy with a search engine that lived on my local machine, just for pages I've already visited. That might be a good first step towards what you're planning. Step two would then be figuring out how to do federated queries across users with similar interests. From a privacy standpoint, I'd be less uncomfortable letting random strangers run (sanitized) queries against my browsing history (stored locally),…
Great points, thank you. I've been wondering how to do it in a privacy-preserving way. Also the current implementation is a browser extension, I wonder if there may be a better architecture.

#348I want collaborate on publishable ML research.
I'm currently working as a machine learning engineer, but doing a lot more engineering than learning. I'm also applying to PhD programs with focuses in knowledge graphs and common sense reasoning, but willing to learn any other field. If I don't get in then some independent research is still a good career move.
I have ideas of my own (goal oriented question asking) but happy to run support on other peoples stuff.

#349The web has gotten boring. I'm starting a static web host where every page is remixable by default. One click and you have a copy of any web page hosted on the platform. Not only that, but the front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS) is treated as the source of truth. Whatever changes the owner makes to a page (through DevTools, some custom JS, or clicking a button that does something) is saved permanently to the DB. This make…
I've been approaching it from the other end. The web hasn't gotten boring, but the signal to noise ratio has gotten really bad. The big problem for both creative websites and their long tail audience is discoverability. There still seems to be a lot of interesting creative content out there, but it doesn't play by google and social media's rules, so what you find is listicles, blogspam, click funnels, various forms o…

#350Nothing I'm willing to share right now, but I do want to say that this is a great idea for a recurring thread and very much in line with the hackernews ethos
