Project Name: Symbiants
Website: https://ant.care/
GitHub: https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants
Languages: Rust (Bevy), WebGPU, WASM, JS
Project Description:
Symbiants is a digital ant farm with a mental health twist. The goal is to make a cute, real-time ant colony sim (think SimAnt + Tamagotchi), get players to form a daily routine around feeding and caring for their ants, and incorporate basic mental health activities (guided breathing, positivity journaling, etc.) into the gameplay.
The player gets a comfy, cozy, digital environment with a pet that grows in real-time. Each morning, they check on their ants as they get online, do a quick self-check-in, and see visual reminders of their consistency and its effects on their pet's growth.

This is my first attempt at building a video game. It's been a lot of fun so far, but, unsurprisingly, is a lot of work. I had some cash saved up and took the last year off of work. In this time, I built a prototype in React, then taught myself Rust/Bevy, and began chipping away at this project. I've made some progress, but I don't feel this vision is anywhere near complete. I would love to have more people to work with, discuss ideas, and learn the finer points of Rust/WebGPU development.
To me, this is an especially important project because I see a lot of people who love to be terminally online, work from home, play video games to zone out after work, and sometimes fall into a rut where days fly by without sufficient self-care. How to reach those people? It can be difficult to broach the subject as mental health is fairly taboo. I am curious to see if a video game can be an effective means of starting a conversation.

I was going to make a separate post about this in a few days once I finished up the documentation, but I'll post it early even though the Github repo is not in a completed state. The general idea is to build a tool that can scrape bank account information whenever it is executed, to enable more transparency when shopping for financial products like savings accounts. I've started working on the engine and templates, and currently have the logic built out for several hundred products at ~70 financial institutions.
The best way you can help is by creating "templates" of various product information by recording or manually writing puppeteer/playwright scripts to extract specific information about various bank products. This is a simple task, but due to each bank having multiple product offerings (checking, savings, money market, certificate of deposit) and multiple tiers of each product, the actual market for "savings accounts" is in the tens of thousands. Banks change rates and fees a lot more frequently than they change their websites, so even though this is a brute-force method of aggregating data, it will be sufficient for most consumers.

Free Law Project is a small non-profit that uses technology to make the legal sector better. We operate at a big scale (about 300M items in our DB and a lot of traffic), and need help scaling, operating, expanding, fixing, modernizing, and maintaining our stack.
One high priority project is adding a CDN to our site due to the crush we just got on the latest Epstein docs:
Background: https://www.axios.com/2024/01/04/epstein-document-crash-docu...
Issue: https://github.com/freelawproject/courtlistener/issues/917
If you have experience in rolling out a CDN, that's great.
If not, we also have a volunteer backlog where we are always looking for help with our website, browser extensions, etc: https://github.com/orgs/freelawproject/projects/31/views/1
At this point, if you are a Python/Django/Browser extension dev, we could probably use your help!
