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.

We are solving this problem in a way with our product plot-ai.com. It is essentially a full blown data visualization platform within Excel with publishing capabilities to PowerPoint and the Web. Would really love your take on this and open to chat. anup@plot-ai.com

I want to explore the idea of P2P/Web3 Uber/Doordash clone where the site and operations cost is decentralized and everyone benefits from the platform while taking very low percentage profits.

I'm still learning web3/p2p to leverage this but I feel it's an interesting idea to iterate.

I'm building an opensource GitHub for Flashcards. Basically Anki Online (though there's an offline first client). The idea is that it should be easier to collaboratively build flash cards. The project started out with F#/Blazor, but for various reasons I'm (sadly) moving to Typescript/Electron.

I am a developer who wants to build the lichess equivalent for Scrabble and other crossword board games. We currently have a pretty cool AGPL-licensed app over at https://woogles.io but require help to add more to our app (automatic tournaments, puzzles, better analyzer, the list is large).

We have over 1M games played so far and hosted the World Scrabble Championship last year. If you like coding and/or Scrabble please let me know.

I want to build a prototype experimental Skytherm roof on a garden shed or tiny house as a proof of concept to reduce home energy consumption for heating and cooling. See http://www.solarmirror.com/fom/fom-serve/cache/30.html for the concept. The idea is to have shadable thermal mass on the roof that will gain solar heat during winter, but in summer operates in reverse shaded during the day to prevent heating, but op…

pls contact me at morphle at ziggo dot nl so I get you in contact with a tiny house builder who will test your prototype on his houses and land

I 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 h…

Are you planning on doing a part time PhD? I am interested in the possibility, although I do not have a ML background.

My wife and I are (slowly) building an ios app to track daily family memories (impetus was having our son in 2019). We got this idea from an article long ago where the author used a spreadsheet to capture small notes of daily family life and especially note any child milestones. The app is close to being usable daily (each parent can add a note, separate field for milestone, edit, and list recent days) but it's ugly as sin. It's written in swift/swiftui with a go backend (also an older react web version exists if anyone was interested working on that). Totally chill project with no expectation of commercial viability

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Can you point to the extension for people to test

Analysts and consultants who use excel frequently are poorly served. Valuable time is lost in pivot tables, filtering/refreshing data, and formatting slides.

We recently launched http://plot-ai.com to tackle this problem. It is a no-code excel add-in for data analysis, visualization and publishing (slides/web).

We have pilots going on and a lot of interest from folks in data science, consulting, strategy, finance, BI.

If this excites you as an end user or a developer I would love to chat. Ping me - anup@plot-ai.com

I'm looking to support any climate-tech projects. I'm a mobile dev but can pick up any language / framework / tool. Particularly interested in ReFi and the intersection between web3 and climate.

contact me at morphle at ziggo dot nl for two climate-tech startups that can use your support
