Show HN: Sort Any Awesome List by GitHub Stars As a CS undergrad, I self-taught many topics not covered by the school. Typically awesome list is where I started with. I spent my second half in college researching computer vision and machine learning. CVPR accepts over 2000 papers every year, not to mention arXiv. The awesome lists curated by the community usually serve as checklists when I was doing literature surveys. But since the number of the list items was overwhelming, I had to prioritize which papers to read first. Many of them had been uploaded to arXiv in the last few months, so I had no clue how many citations they would get. When learning web development, I also had difficulty finding the best package for the tasks like data validation and client-side routing. To make a decision, I had to browse through GitHub repositories or read the documentation. I wish I could have my awesome lists sorted, desirably by popularity. This led to the creation of my project: a web app that rearranges any awesome list with hints from GitHub stars. It may not work well when the list items do not contain links to GitHub repositories or pages, but it truly shines when most of them do. I hope this could help anyone else. P.S. I'm aware of a similar project ( https://ift.tt/cZAX6VI ), a CLI application with more features. For example, it checks if any GitHub repository link exists on the linked website. https://ift.tt/P8bICDR March 3, 2023 at 12:51AM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later. Note: I am not the main author, but I am one of the active contributors. Github page is at https://ift.tt/2g8lasH and https://ift.tt/3nR9PzS shows what was recently released.
