I found that this tool is quite a sweet spot for bringing small teams of technical and non-technical people together and get stuff done, but I yearned for an open-source version of it to hack around.
It is all still in a very early prototyping stage, but I plan to release an alpha until summer.
I'm working on a real-time gpu accelerated 3d visualizer for high frequency market Exchange data. There's no practical use case for it except that it looks cool. I don't plan on making it useful either, instead I'm gonna implement all kinds of awesome looking but useless eye candy stuff. But it's a good excuse for a quant to get into graphics programming.

I don't believe or have claimed this will "change history". Had in fact offered to let the whole matter slide if and only if two judges ruling on health insurance matters hand in their resignations, as I consider them a danger to the general public.
Is that really a decision for you to single handedly make? People make mistakes, but it doesn’t mean they are evil. Pushing them to admit their wrong doing, give up their livelihood/careers, etc. is just stupid. Especially if “doing it for fun”. That’s not admirable, it’s disturbing.
I see you are attempting to take away the "hacker" in "hacker news".
I see this as social engineering, for a good cause.
https://stonksfolio.com I started it to track my all my investment accounts in one place and a couple of years ago decided to open it up to the public. Active users are in the hundreds but not growing rapidly. Tried to monetize it with Patreon but only 2 people actually subscribed. It's a fun project to work on, though, and not having paying customers allows me to ignore it until I get the enthusiasm to work on it ag…
There is a company registered that commits the following mobile ads fraud: * The buy targeted ads from Google, served on YouTube targeting small children and clients of a particular carrier * When you click on the ad (even if by mistake) you find that you are subscribed to a game service and immediately charged a small fee (5 euros) via your carrier (DCB). You may or may not see a chrome window open and close. * If y…

There's already a website and you tease with this? Why keep the website private?
It's in German language and legal stuff, although one may enjoy the renderings of numerous corruption-involved public officials. These were made using AnimeGANv2. https://de.wickepedia.org/Wickepedia:About The felonious judge is named Wicke so this was thought to be the most hilarious domain name. It has been kept low-profile on purpose because analytics enabled amazing observability about who talks to whom, and who…
So do you want this to go public yet, or are waiting for further actions by some of the involved courts?
I'm a musician. Long term. 43 years old, been playing forever. Don't care if I get any success at it. Not a hobby. Makes money sometimes. I play professionally. For money. On stage. If you play for your entire life, you can get really good at a ton of things. I played pedal steel at a rehearsal for my country band tonight. I played piano at a rehearsal for my hot club jazz band on Monday. I played upright bass at a r…

And sorry, but social engineering is pretty unethical if you ask me, and has nothing to do with the name of the site.
