This page is for doers who dare to, and for builders who want to, make a dent in the universe.
Do's: Be open minded, be dare, believe.
Don’t be butt-hurt, don’t be evil.
Screw bureaucracy. We are a democracy, and our organization structure is flat.
Plain talk is worthless; we want to see what you’re building, and we might jump onboard to create something awesome together! Now this is REAL collaboration.
Cool isn’t enough, we need to build things that are IMPORTANT. We hackers solve the world’s problems.
Thus this shall guide our definition of what hackers do: to solve problems with style.
If we have a community of talented hackers, why not leverage it to change the world? Instead of just sharing jokes and cat videos, why not get together and actually build something? We shall keep a list of cool and important open source projects for anyone to contribute.
P/S below isn’t important, but it explains my motivation above, also example of what this group can do.
--------------
What I’m building now (trying to contribute as a mathematician + hacker):
1. lomath: a robust math library in NodeJS (cus Node JS really lacks one), with data visualization
2. loML: an open source Machine Learning library in NodeJS (again, same reason. This is built off the math library aforesaid). What it will have: Neural Nets, NVM, NLP. All those cool shits.
3. dokker: NodeJS auto API documentation generator, cuz good coders document.
4. Ultimately, you can do all these easily in NodeJS: Gather web data (which Node is good at), serious analysis (lomath and loML), immediate data visualization (lomath), reaction (whatever you can do with those data). e.g. scrape google for disease trend, analyze data using machine learning, output data visualized in chart/reports on your website; all done in NodeJS.
Why build a math library for NodeJS when you’re better off using Python? Exactly, why Python and not NodeJS? It’s awesome, and we can make it awesome-r. Imma make NodeJS dev even more powerful.
