1. Notes

1.1. About this list

  • This list is primarily used, viewed and edit from emacs in org-mode, I have just exported it for better accessibility so some of the things which are exported might seem out of place.
  • I’ll pick ideas from this list to work on. So any project idea that I have, will first be here in this list(I use org-capture for that). Will do basic brainstorming here and if I feel like it can be built, i’ll actually pick it up after setting the correct legends.
  • You are free to build on these ideas. I came up with these ideas but I don’t think any of these are original or whatever. Feel free to ping me about it if you build on any of these, will make me super happy.
  • Legends: SEED, DIED, SAPLING, GROWING, GROWN, DIED .

  • If we plan to crowdsource the stream, it has to be done is a common format of some sort.

If we have some measurement unit, then we can exactly see how close guwahati’s situation is to australias situation. how that specific measurement was improved over time and see if we can use some of the things they applied.
  • Basically have a runbook for any kind of society in any part of the world to solve social problems.
  • But more importantly human to human communication is very important, not just understanding of the language but also understanding of humor what is appropriate and what is not etc. Some fixes can be applied to american people, those cannot never be directly applied here.

    • Scrape the stuff, just get the hierarchy
    • Improve the UX and present it at whatever_name_i_keep.com?s=demonstrations.wolfram.com
    • That’s it.
    • Now we have to keep 2 things in mind when scraping, it should be updated on new changes automatically, if the whole site changes, the thing should have the ability to be rolled back and then freezed at that point.

148.4. SEED github gist browser   webdev

  • current gist-ui in github.com is bulky and all, would be nice to have a better and simple ui
  • Improvements
    • 1. have a sidebar with all the gist that i can click and just view on the side.
    • 2. the view pane will be markdown rendered and can have different themes like hugo.
      • basically any hugo theme should work out of the box. it’ll use the post layout.
      • this way I won’t have to design themes and ppl still will be able to share it that way
  • see https://scribe.rip/

149. SEED Make drawings/animations for Sync File versioning   education

150. SEED An url things doer

  • We can do a lot of things w an url
    • Based on the url structure alone
    • Based on the content the url provides
  • Examples
    • Link with instagram in url
      • Action: Download the video and put it into my archive. Also keep a link to the original link along w the video. These actions each can take additional input variables, and will take in some default otherwise etc.
      • Action Filter: This action will show up on the filtered list only if regex or any other match matches the url
    • A link to a HN comment
      • Action: Copy text and put it into the file where I maintain a list of HN comments.
      • Match: A link in HN and comment look the same, so for this, open the link and check if it’s a comment. If it’s a comment show comment specific actions.
      • Saving Hacker News Comments to Notado
  • Execution
    • Actions would be self defined scripts. Its supposed to be used by programmers or people how know how to make the computer do things. i.e not a diy thing, more in the lines of tasker but also needs programmability. There can be open source action recipes but it’s mostly to facilitate very niche custom user actions.
    • Would need a self hosted webapp
    • And would need a phone app with share to “this” app feature that fills the url and gives me a list of possible actions to execute on the url.

151. SEED The website backup project

  • I haven’t explored webrecorder and archivebox fully yet but I think they are for personal use and stuff
  • What I want to have is a community mirror of websites. (ifk if it’s legal, easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission in this case, it should be based on other things)
  • What I mean is, suppose a website like endofline.date, hyperpolyglot.org etc solid good info. But that info is not just a page. Like what archive.is does. It’s a whole website, the value of it is in having the whole website at your tips not just one page.
  • So we want to backup the whole website, which is obviously possible and I do it myself w wget and httack and what not etc. But being able to do something like backedupwebsites.com?q=hyperpolyglot.org and see a list of public backup of the whole website will be awesome, if not being able to trigger your own backup would also be awesome. It doesn’t have to be instantaneous or anything, just giving me a gurantee that if that domain ever goes of i’ll still have access to this solid data.

168. SEED Listen Poetry from other languages by words

This website is my answer to the question: “If I were an English speaker trying to get an idea of how Italian poetry sounds, what tool would I like to have?” - See https://italianpoetry.it/

  • Basically make a framework/tool that people can host themselves. Have the transcription, word level highlighting etc.
  • This is more about data and the process than the styling. styling who’ver is making the website is doing. So in ways, this library/framework should provide the functional stuff from intilanpoetry.it

188. SEED reddit username to image gen

  • I saw a reddit username with the username empatheticasshole, i really wanted to know what that username would look like
  • Think dalle and midjourney can help. There’s a lot of funny usernames on reddit.
  • We can also have a browser extension that attaches the image on hover of the username.

  • https://github.com/rsc/2fa
  • https://blog.singleton.io/posts/2022-10-17-otp-on-wrist/
  • https://github.com/cgzirim/seek-tune
  • i am tired of copy pasting topt from phone. i can have have cli topt but music topt would be so awesome. to make it work with existing sites and otp stuff we can have a webext which translates music into numbers and fills the input field.
  • music otp instead of topt using generative music
  • basically the ideas will have OTP and there will be a seed so like when you can be a seed and that only that based on time as certain music will be played right so it will be pound of shit but when you play the music it will only play that music only and that time so you whatever the website is you have to just basically turn on the audio and new

192. SEED Data viz/analysis from Video Link

  • I saw this project stepify which does text guide from YT video links: Show HN: I made a website that converts YT videos into step-by-step guides | Hacker News
    • Nice usecase
  • What we could do further though, is upload your youtube video/vlog footage etc. and then get data analysed out of it. could be fun.
    • eg. in this vlog how many cars were shown, how many birds were there etc.
    • LLMs have data viz and analyse capibilities, we can combine vision+data analysis capabilities and get out task done.
  • Sometimes you go to places and record things but don’t really understand the things you’re recording. And you’re too lazy to even ask. If you feed the video into this, you get more nerdy info about the video that you usually would not realize. Eg. the car that you just saw was a rare one etc.

198. SEED Local place data Geo framework

  • A ready to cook framework/(combination of software and other) things that can be applied to any place(big/small) eg. to narengi or to guwahati and then with it we’ll have data collected which will tell us state of the place and ways we can improve it.
    • Eg. Say we name the framework X. When X is applied to place Y. We’d have answers such as:
      • How many trees are in Y. How many trees does Y actually need.
      • What kind of animals were here 10 years ago and not now
      • What do most people in this area do etc etc.
    • Some govt already collect this info and we can have that info sourced from there, otherwise we can manually have ways to source this data etc etc.
  • Think this kind of framework will really help indiviual/community take better decisions around their surrounding and also will help new people joining the community/place
