mkws(1)

Web site building complexity, for now I started with a simple static site generator https://mkws.sh/. Right now, I'm not using any package manager, no config files, only one language for templates (sh), and obviously HTML, CSS, Js. I eventually plan to develop a simple CMS based on the same ideas.

OpenSim

My research specialty is biomechanics. For the arm motion thing, it sounds like you might want inverse kinematics or inverse dynamics. Take a look at OpenSim: https://simtk.org/projects/opensim For the oral appliance adjustment, I'm not sure what your output measures of interest are. If they're mechanical maybe you want to do a sensitivity analysis using FEA. Maybe look at FEBio: https://febio.org/ As for books or surveys, biomechanics is huge topic so I'm not sure what to recommend without wasting your time. If you're still defining the problem, maybe run some searches on Pubmed with the "review" and "free full text" boxes checked, and browse the results until you find which sub-sub-topic is relevant to you? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=biomechanics&filter=simsearch2.ffrft&filter=pubt.review If no one on the team knows statics, dynamics, and (if you're considering internal strain and stress) continuum mechanics, consider finding a mechanical engineer to help.

Kirby

Any headless CMS would work well my `mkws`, my idea is to build a smaller, simpler Wordpress that also comes with a tiny webserver, 0 config, no database, content stored as plain text files, just download and run. https://getkirby.com/ is closer in concept, but without the PHP dependency.

ClickUp

I've recently started using ClickUp for managing my helpdesk and development work and I like it a lot. I don't do scrum myself but the product claims to be useful for that kind of work, as well as many other approaches and use cases. https://clickup.com.

Meld

Https://meldmerge.org/ might be what you are looking for. But if there are tools which can find duplicated files which are named differently, I'd be interested in learning more about these as well.

Kaldi

I worked on this for a couple years during a previous startup attempt. I designed a custom STT model via Kaldi [0] and hosted it using a modified version of this server [1]. I deployed it to a 4GB EC2 instance with configurable docker layers (one for core utils, one for speech utils, one for the model) so we could spin up as many servers as we needed for each language. I would recommend the WebRTC or Gstreamer approach, but I wouldn't recommend trying to build your own model. It's really hard. Google's Cloud API [2] works well across lots of accents and the price is honestly about the same as running your own server. If you want to host your own STT (for privacy or whatever), I'd recommend using Coqui [3] (from the guys that ran Mozilla's OpenSpeech program). Note that this will likely be much, much worse on accents than Google's model. [0]: https://kaldi-asr.org/.
