Products that do what I made a worldwide sexual life dashboard does
The idea is to share data-based insights about sexual life I’ve worked in SexEd startups, and it’s wild that humanity doesn’t have this data. Most major academic studies have focused on sex primarily from a health and reproduction perspective, leaving many important and interesting questions unexplored (for many reasons) To promote transparency, the anonymous data will be open-sourced, allowing researchers, students and anyone interested to analyze it

Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck. Enter, Now I Get It! I made this app for curious people. Simply upload an article and after a few minutes you'll have an interactive web page showcasing the highlights. Generated pages are stored in the cloud and can be viewed from a gallery. Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves. Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash. A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting: * This is…

There’s something quietly unsettling about how normal it's become to hand over our most personal data to apps that barely deserve our trust. My wife once showed me a notification she got from her period tracking app. At first, it seemed like a simple reminder. But then came the ads. Not long after, she started getting eerily specific suggestions on other platforms. Things she hadn’t searched for. Things that felt too close. Somewhere, her cycle had been turned into a data point. That bothered me more than I can explain. These apps promise helpful insights. But in return, they take so much.…

A web platform I've written to make it easy for people to share goespatial time series data and display it on animated heatmaps. There's also a social media component that allows you to write comments, follow, share and like data sets that you want to engage with. You can also download the CSV data and embed animations into your own websites. People uploading datasets can also choose to make money by accepting donations. Please check out the home page for more details: https://mapipedia.com Here are some samples of things created with the platform (press the play button to start…

Hi there! I've been working with data in one form or another, professionally, for about 5 years. I've been thinking about my own personal data and how it's used for at least twice that long. I've been sort of building something in my head for a while that solves my own problem and, in the beginning of this year, I found the opportunity to spend some time building it out. I'll leave the detailed explanation to the blog post but, in short, I built what amounts to an API crawler combined with a data processor to help you download your personal data from 3rd party services and work with it using…

Hi there Hacker News, I've started a side project http://datasourcehub.com which aims to be a platform for data scientists. The project is still in the idea phase so the UI/UX and functionality are all subject to change. Feel free to play around, below is a guest login, and make sure files are content type of 'text/csv'. All data is subject to deletion, it's just a sandbox right now! By reaching out to the Hacker News community I hope to reach expert data scientists and get their feedback. Below are some questions I'd like to answer and some proposed directions that this…

This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

Hi HN community! NOTE: This is a repost due to missing of links I’m excited to introduce Lambda, a project I've been working on. Lambda is the world's first open-source social media app designed to prioritize your privacy and well-being. It's still in its early stages, but I'm eager to share it with you and get your feedback. What is Lambda? Lambda is an open-source social media app that addresses privacy concerns and reduces social media addiction. Here's what makes Lambda unique: - Privacy First: Lambda does not collect personal information beyond your email address for account creation.…

TLDR: I made a public only web analytics without signup. Stores views and visitors for 10 days before deleting data. Exactly 25 days ago today I posted here, proud of my new web analytics. The response was mixed and my post even got flagged (understandable). It was my first real launch and I actually made a sale just a day later of 49$(!). Back then my project was pay once, keep forever. Since then I have sadly went over to the dark side (subscription based). Anyways, I never went back to look at the post after the first two hours, turns out I got a lot of answers. Most answers was something…

We have been working on the Charting Chaos podcast (currently only available on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chartingchaos?_t=8d7RtZh51Rq&_r=1) and encountered some traction. We have been building the Charting Chaos forum to give a place for healthcare providers to connect with each other in a private, verified way. The idea is that your license number is required when creating an account so we can verify asynchronously that users are genuine, healthcare workers. Let us know what you think!

I would like to share an open database focused on link-level metadata extraction and aggregation, which may be of interest to researchers. The project maintains a structured dataset of links enriched with metadata such as: - page title - description / summary - publication date (when available) - thumbnail / preview image - etc. The goal is to provide a reusable, inspectable set of link metadata that can be used for experiments in areas such as: - RSS and feed analysis - news analysis - link rot analysis? The database is publicly available here:…

I love the idea of quantified self and recently decided to pull all of my data in one place. I pull all of my data from ActivityWatch, Wakatime, and Health Connect APIs :)

Hi HN! I am an undergrad student trying to build interesting things with AI. Recently, I was looking for a dataset I could use for a new project. I realized that it is really frustrating to go through all the government websites (with terrible UX) just to find some usable dataset. I set out to build a GitHub for datasets, named DataHub. Right now, we have more than 1000 datasets from Montréal and New York City, with more cities coming soon (and possible government agencies). All of this is wrapped into a powerful search. It's a breeze to find a dataset to work on. I'd be interested to know…

Hey HN! I've always been frustrated by having to follow people across 10 different platforms just to catch what they actually say. Lately I've quit following other media entirely and am just hanging out on twitter, but the amount of things I'm missing is vast, I'm sure. Recently I started playing with this new API from Parallel AI that let's you do super deep web research and collect tons of datapoints at once. Today I tried to solve my own problem and built Based People using the Task API. *Features:* - Finds and tracks public appearances – podcasts, conferences, congressional hearings,…
