I worked on a website that aims to foster data-backed debates online. It builds a feed out of hacker news comments backed by data. [0]
The reasoning behind it is twofold: - They are people who (due to their through their startups, side-projects, thesis, hobbies,...) are familiar with interesting datasets. - With a tool that allow them to spot places on Hacker news where data are discussed, they will be incentivized to contribute and experience less friction.
I hope it increases the frequency of arguments linked to data and give more visibility to projects working with interesting datasets.
I am also looking for people who have projects, however small, where they see interesting data. It is for an ongoing interview serie.[1]
