Very cool, kudos!

It would be even cooler if it had a deeper view of categories. Right now the biggest category by far is People & Blogs but it's possible to get much more information if it was broken down into sub-categories.

Looks and feels like a lightweight code editor that's geared towards React.

What are your future plans/roadmap?

It is not the lecturers job to police their students. People that cheat only end up cheating themselves, and nobody but the cheater should do anything about it.

The idea you are presenting is very broad, and the explanation doesn't really help narrow it down to anything practical. How would you implement this in practice? How would such a "social construct" operate?

With that said I think that there's a need for digital clans nowadays, similar to multiplayer gaming clans, but for more "serious" games. Could this be it?

"Colombia found the wreck of a Spanish treasure ship, sunk in 1708. Experts believe it contains at least 200 tons of gold, silver and emeralds. Colombia considers wrecks found in its territorial waters to be part of its cultural heritage, meaning the contents cannot be sold.

Spain insists that the bounty is theirs since it was aboard a Spanish ship, while Bolivia's Qhara Qhara nation says it should get the treasures as the Spanish forced the community's people to mine the precious metals."

Sounds like a Star Trek TNG episode. Where's Picard?

So you're not interested in tech but in tech no one else has.
dvh1990 · 4 years ago
The novelty factor IS important. Back in the 90s/00s techies were relatively rare. Being tech-oriented, generally smart but also socially awkward and introverted is an interesting mix - you derive identity and pride from the things that make you special.

Was this the reason I loved tech? No, that's the reason I DID tech. The reason I loved tech is because I believed that tech will make our lives exponentially better. And up to a certain point, it did...

Are you crazy? I'm from '79, so probably a bit younger than you.

We can now buy an Arduino board for the price of a computer game, and make a flying drone. Even with a small camera or some sensors if you want. Or create some small robots with all the motors and sensors that you want, custom 3d printed.

My son is now 13 and doing STEM. I only wish I had access to all the things that they can now do for cheap, especially all the robotics and drone stuff. Plus, the amount of info on the internet is amazing and quickly accessible anywhere.

I agree that the old days were a lot of fun, but if I had to choose, I would want to be 13 nowadays instead of the 80s or 90s.

Well yes, but flying drones are not exciting when everybody can build/buy one.

To all those commenting on how terrible of an idea this is: what if it includes a kill switch that's fundamental to its existence? (Where kill switch is eg. a vaccine to the vaccine as a break glass option)

Jurassic Park, while a fictional story, illustrates the problem beautifully. "Life finds a way".
