Hey! It's the English version, something got broken. Your message made me learn about that. Thanks! Spanish and Catalan versions seem to be working properly.

On my next deploy that will be already fixed. Unfortunately, software done for the city council has very slow cycles due to several actors interacting. And the deploy will delayed specially now, on summer. Today I'll fix that, but probably you won't see changes until next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am working on improving a system to inform citizens about the public benefits for which they are eligible [0]. It's hold by Barcelona City Council.

It analyzes the social situation of a person, or group of people that live together, and forecasts those benefits that they could access. It is an old base code that uses OpenFisca for the back, and React for the front. However, it's quite fun though. Currently I'm working on make it more stable as there are still some parts that could break the process.

I helped coding oTranscribe+ [0], which does something similar to what you are asking for. Using ElectronJS and the current, at that moment, version of oTranscribe, there is this desktop application. It also exists as web version and PWA [1].

Language models were those from BSC (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) at the time. The transcription is done via WASM, using Vosk [2] as base.

I hope it fits.

Joining a workers cooperative. That has been the best thing I could have done feeling as I was feeling about programming jobs.

I realized I disliked the way that job market works. Too much stress; clients and bosses putting too much pressure on my daily work; lots of stupid tasks to be finished ASAP...

At the end several friends of mine and me created a workers cooperative for doing programming jobs. We share projects and decide which ones we want to take. There is not that overwhelming duty of finding new clients as there is one person who does the research and business actions.

Everyone does what they want and we mainly focus on jobs we like and the way we prefer.
