Ask.Moe

I would love to team up with someone for the purpose of collecting detailed product data similar to Geizhals (gtin/ean, detailed specs, origin country, price history, available sellers based on country, etc). My only requirement is that I'm allowed to use the data for my non-profit search engine (https://ask.moe), including exposing the data through a public API (you would of course also be free to use the data for any purpose). I would also love to use the data to build for-profit websites together (ideally in Hugo or Vue.js, and without any user tracking).

deepstream.io

I'm working on a few projects, from one/two days to platforms. The first is OS and is a simple nodeJS environment to deploy applications via lambda and express quickly. Sort of like nestJS except less decorators and more functional (https://vramework.io/). I already know of a few other colleagues that rolled their own propriety versions of this to support enterprise and cloud deployments so decided to OS it. The other OS project is a strongly typed postgres/mysql driver. The idea is to generate typescript definitions directly from postgres (https://github.com/vramework/schemats) and then have a think layer ontop of pg-node that gives you strongly typed queries (https://github.com/vramework/postgres-typed). An open-source project I spent a few years on the core team is https://deepstream.io/, a realtime-server that allows you to mix and match multiple streaming protocols (mqtt/websocket/others) and allow those clients to talk to each other using pub-sub and records. I'm not longer working for it but wanted to give it a shout out! On a non OS project, I have been working on an immersive audio platform for a while now. The main goal is to allow users to pick and choose how audio books progress, and also have a live session mode which allows users to record their pulse / answer questions and a few other metrics and associate it with sentences. I pretty much built and deployed all of it but require some advice/brainstorming on how to proceed now. I built it to satisfy an itch when I was practicing shamanism during the first lockdown when I was in-between contracts / taking time off. I also want to build a simple web-pages strategy game based around eco-education, but don't have the bandwidth . If anyone is interested in mixing together gamification and eco-village building might be a fun conversion to bounce ideas! All the OS projects above were used to support my personal/a couple professional projects over the last few years. Email in profile.

Typesense

I run a side (open source) project called Iconduck (https://iconduck.com). It collects and makes open source icons, illustrations and graphics available to download in various formats. The goal is to collect sets from across the web (atm, mainly Gumroad and GitHub) that have open source licenses that allow for them to be available on a central site. I then use a service called Typesense (https://typesense.org/) to make these all searchable. It's a fun project to work on, and I'd love help on this. Anything from design, front-end, back-end, product or marketing.

Distill

I’m looking for collaborators for re-implementing “modern” machine learning and deep learning models/papers. Modern is in quotes as I’d actually like to focus less on the super recent, and more on those around ~5 years old, as the compute required is usually more feasible. As well as the implementation (which will be open sourced, well written and documented), I’d also like https://distill.pub/ style articles to go along with the implementations. I’d also like to get into algorithmic trading, but this is something I’m at the very early stages of researching into. If any of that sounds interesting, contact details are in my profile.

authzed

Have you seen https://authzed.com/? I know it's not what you are saying but seems relevant if you haven't already seen it. I think there is a ton of room for new players in the authn and authz markets. I like how narrow you are focused.

Factor

These projects seem really cool! A few links and historical references that might be of interest: > On the hardware side I want to use small and simple systems If you'd like to build a fully understandable computer, you might be interested in concatenative languages like Forth, Factor, and colorForth. These use a much simpler and more understandable, typically stack-based computational model that run on microcontrollers like STM32. You can create more complex words by composing together simple assembly-language-like atoms and building higher and higher layers of abstraction. - https://factorcode.org/ - https://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/FAQ/Why%3F - Motivation section from: https://bernd-paysan.de/why-forth.html > On the software side I have a simple GUI and macro language that is easy to learn and much much simpler and more elegant than current conventional UIs. A good starting point or source of inspiration might be the Smalltalk and Lisp Machines from the past. - https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1241904/Introduction-to-the-Smalltalk-Programming-Language - How Do I Master The Art of Smalltalk? https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-master-the-art-of-Smalltalk?share - Live Objects in Smalltalk Pharo: https://www.quora.com/What-is-this-live-objects-in-Smalltalk-Ive-gotten-used-to-that-edit-compile-test-debug-cycle-and-want-to-understand-the-philosophy-behind-Smalltalk-Pharo?share - Smalltalk Principles: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/smalltalk.html You might also be interested in this blog from a guy who is trying to build his own OS from scratch and run it on an FPGA: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=55.

If you can somehow negotiate rights to make these databases publicly available, it might be a good idea to donate/upload the data to the Internet Archive or some universities for posterity: https://archive.org/.

Label LIVE

I love building electron apps that integrate with hardware. If you’ve got hardware (USB, serial, Bluetooth) that needs a new UI/UZ - get in touch! I came across this niche while building Label LIVE (https://label.live) for USB label printers.

Dhall Configuration Language

Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Avro This looks like a very ambitious project, and I can see that you've put a lot of thought, time, and effort into it! You clearly have a lot of interesting ideas (the graph idea is really cool) and significant experience with data formats. If this is a security-oriented application, then with cyclic data structures there is the risk of blowing out your server's memory using something like a fork bomb when processing untrusted user input (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb). There are some systems like DHall that guarantee termination by putting upper bounds on computation: https://dhall-lang.org/ I'm also a bit concerned with how the different features can interact, for example it's not super clear how to distinguish between UTC offset (-130, or do these always have to be 4 digits?) and global coordinates (-130/-172). An attacker could specify a comment inside the media type (eg: application/* which would require special logic to filter out). My concern is that the parser will become extremely complicated and require a lot of special-case logic and validation (eg: there must be at least one digit on each side of a radix point) which is more prone to errors and unexpected behaviors. Rather than using slash delimiters, I'd recommend splitting the time formats into subfields, eg:.
