Projects

Digital Defiance is composed of a number of members all working on their own projects. Members may or may not have access to modify this page and/or submit changes to the maintainer(s).

This list is likely incomplete, but here are a few highlights:

Rui Campos is working on:

  • git-datasets: an extension to git that attempts to introduce a new “data as code” paradigm. it enables you to declaratively create, transform and manage datasets of any size, letting you start small and scale as much as you need
  • typed-api: an extension to fastapi that introduces a concise language to specify http responses in the return values (return 200, {“x-some-header”: 123}, “a body”)
  • montycarlo: a general purpose monte carlo particle simulator that computes the coupled transport of photons, electrons and positrons on any material and geometry – features a new and more efficient method of particle transport (paper being written still ._.)

Jessica Mulein is working on:

  • Dominion Assistant: Game play tracker for Dominion card/deckbuilding game by Donald Vaccarino/Rio Grande Games.
  • Star Realms Assistant: Game play tracker for Star Realms card/deckbuilding game by White Wizard Games.
  • OpenBook: Enhance organizational transparency by indexing structured Markdown files into Excel & API queryable views, enabling detailed tracking such as membership or grant usage through transactional records, while maintaining data in a version-controlled, queryable system.
  • CurseFund: Reverse swear jar to help families save for events and to curtail cursing.
  • BrightChain: Based on the Owner Free Filesystem, this pre-alpha Node/TypeScript project offers decentralized solutions for data storage and management, enhancing security and privacy. Features include Brokered Anonymity for encrypted identity protection, quorum-based document sealing, and Paillier encrypted voting systems. Development is ongoing, with a focus on block-level data integrity, complex block generation, and recovery processes.
  • Project Albatross: NX React Auth0 Node Mongo Application generator. This helper will take you through generation of an NX monorepo with a React frontend that uses Auth0 for authentication, a Node backend, and set up a devcontainer with a Mongo database.
  • Duality Social: Pre-alpha. A Turing test and a social network meet at a bar
  • SoundStorm: Pre-alpha site to upload Native Instruments Komplete.db3 to produce indices of usable sounds and then provide a way to organize those sounds logically into projects/songs

Ihab Amedras is working on:

  • Darijagenai, a generative Model for Moroccan Dialect Text (arabic dialect that has aspects of french and spanish and berber)
    • Plans:
      • making a custom tokenizer for darija
      • making an etl pipeline to scrape more darija text from social media (i already have 80k rows, hoping to use that to make the pipeline more accurate)
      • developing a model to generate and understand Darija, aiming to improve natural language processing for Moroccan dialect.
