artcodedata··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?
I created a Kickstarter that made $104,000 . It's a map of all subway maps in the world. The project did really well and attracted the attention of ~25 Media Outlets including Wired Magazine, Gizmodo, FastCompany, Tech Insider, Travel & Leisure, Slate, Curbed, Cool Hunting, and lot more.

However, being a frontend developer that loves coding, I feel like I wasted a great opportunity of building a brand around it. The whole map was an attention grabber with the potential of turning it into multiple products for home, kids and even teenagers.

To the day I still receive a lot of requests to talk about it, people keep buying it around the world and is currently being exhibited in a museum in Beijing.

I would love to sell this to a great Marketing team / Visionary that can build a multi-million brand with it.

You can see the project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1960956629/the-world-me...

(Update: Yes all the IP belong to us because it's a modified version of the original and because we draw the whole thing from scratch.)

artcodedata··on Wikipedia is fixing one of the Internet’s biggest flaws
The search for an unique , single truth is the mentality that destroy ancient ruins and burn books, no matter if it's coming from Wikipedia, Trump supporters or BLM all of them are valid. And that's Wikipedia's biggest flaw, their system can only handle one version of truth. A more complex system would be able to handle more than one version of the truth.
