We're a 30-person ed-tech company. I built a Slack bot that connects our data warehouse, 250k Google Drive files, support tickets, and codebase so anyone on the team can ask it a question and get a sourced answer back. The bot took two and a half weeks to build; the data infrastructure under it took two years. Wrote up the architecture, where trust breaks down, and what I'd build first if starting over.

Thanks for sharing! Have been hesitating a lot between the swiping animation and the arrow — it has been hard to gage UX on this one, but seems like the arrows are somewhat of a more straightforward indication

I've recently open-sourced "Helix", a project born out of my frustration with LinkTree's limitations. Helix is a visually appealing and customizable way to showcase your journey, projects, and objectives all in one place.

Built with the latest tech stack, including Nuxt3, Vue3, Rollup, Vite, SwiperJS, LottieJS, and Vuetify3, Helix offers a seamless user experience and performance. Deployment is a breeze, thanks to AWS. I also got to play with MidJourney for assets and GPT-4 for content.

I'm looking for your valuable feedback and suggestions to help me improve this project. Check out Helix on GitHub https://github.com/merylldindin/helix and take it for a spin :)

Polygon is a new kind of psychology practice that provides remote diagnostics for dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and other learning differences. The company utilizes technology to provide a better experience for both clients and its team of in-house licensed psychologists. In addition to evaluating student history and behaviors, Polygon’s psychologists utilize a variety of widely accepted gold-standard assessments, are carefully selected over a 5-stage interview process, given extensive training, and diligently adhere to the company’s clinical principles. The tests administered satisfy IDEA requirements and can inform eligibility for services like IEPs, 504 plans, and accommodations on tests like the SAT, ACT, and GRE.

Today, more than 70M people lack access to quality testing due to expensive prices, archaic manual processes, and broken psychologists supply, causing year-long waitlists. Polygon’s mission is to enable every person with a learning difference to reach their full potential.
