open-data VS Zulip

You can check statsbomb open data but you will to preprocess it from json to sql. They have great course and articles about analyzing the data. Another good reading is awasome-football . They provide list of resources to get data. But the most comprehensive and recommended resources eddwebster's guide. He worked for city football group and his repository updated frequently.

I tried visualising Enzo's progressive passes in each of his world cup matches. I used the data available on StatsBomb for this.

The data source providing all the passes is from StatBomb

If you're familiar with GitHub and JSON then https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data looks decent.

The company StatsBomb, which specializes in football analytics, has made a lot of their data available for public use here: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data I’ve been playing with it recently and I’ve found it to be pretty great.

Messi has routinely been one of the best performers in European soccer, including his record-breaking 2011-2012 season in the Spanish league (“La Liga”) with Barcelona, where he set the record for most goals in a season. Unfortunately, success with the Argentina national team has frequently eluded him, finishing as a “runner-up” in the World Cup once and in the Copa America 3 times, before finally winning the Copa America in 2021. Critics often point to his difficulties with his national team as a fatal flaw. I was interested in how his scoring opportunities during arguably his best performance at Barcelona compared to his chances made with Argentina. The data suggests that he is regularly shooting from further away from goal when playing with Argentina when compared to his best performance with Barcelona, which could be a result of a number of factors (different team tactics, difficulty getting up the field, increasing age, less familiarity with teammates, etc.). Data: 2011/2012 La Liga season and World Cup 2018 data were collected from the very nice, public datasets provided by StatsBomb at https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data. The World Cup 2014 data was a bit more difficult to find, but was scraped from the Huffington Post . The StatsBomb data has a ton of great stats to dig into, but because the Huffington Post data had less detail, I wasn't able to go into all of it with just this plot.

I think Statsbomb has a free API you can use on Github if you request access. https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data

Zulip — Real-time chat with a unique email-like threading model. The free plan includes 10,000 messages of search history and File storage up to 5 GB. also, it provides a self-hostable open-source version.

(1) Zulip Chat - https://zulip.com/ - seems to be reasonably popular, but more people should know about it

I’ve been using it for over 5 years now [1], and it’s as good as ever. It’s way faster than any other chat app I’ve used. It has a good UI and conversation model. It has a simple and functional API that lets me curl threads and write blog posts based on them.

(only problem is that I Ctrl-+ in my browser to make the font bigger – I think it’s too dense for most people)

(2) re2c regex to state machine compiler - https://re2c.org

A gem from the 90’s, which people have done a great job maintaining and improving (getting Go and Rust target support in the last few years). I started using it in 2016, and used for a new program a few months ago. I came to the conclusion that it should have been built into C, because C has shitty string processing – and Ken Thompson both invented C AND brought regular languages to computing !!

In comparison, treesitter lexers are very low level, fiddly, and error prone. I recently saw dozens of ad hoc fixes to the tree-sitter-bash lexer, which is unsurprising if you look at the structure of the code (manually crawling through backslashes and braces in C).

https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/blob/master/...

These fixes are definitely appreciated, but I think it indicates a problem with the model itself.

A few more truly in the vibe of open source projects not advertising their hosting providers: https://plane.so/ , https://element.io/ , https://www.loomio.com/ , https://zulip.com/ , and it keeps going... Very few open source projects, in the FOSS sense, are advertising their hosting provider.

I was so excited to see this happen!

I'm not a customer of yours, but your blog posts inspired me a lot. Your journey through quitting caffeine is a great and heartening read.

I've got two things to say;

1) Will you consider source-availabling the web portal (app.keygen.sh) too? Some enterprises could use it for easy management/support for custoner's licenses. Although now that I think about it, it could also discourage custom, more suitable implementations for each use-case... I'm torn on this one. I would like to see it available on GitHub too just out of curiosity too. It's very beautiful.

2) For a team + customers' chat, I cannot recommend Zulip enough. It's a joy to use and has the most innovative chat system I've ever seen. https://zulip.com

I hope your business keeps prospering!
