Ask HN: Realtime app ideas for side project?
What are some ideas for apps that could be built to become more conversant with near-realtime technologies à la Storm, Kafka, Spark Streaming and the like?
Let's define realtime not as financial index realtime but as responding very quickly to a potentially large number of input events which will be coming in over a network.
- employee8000 10y agoIt's best to learn what real-time actually means in the context of technology. None of the above technologies are real-time. Near-real time might be more accurate but it depends on your tolerance.
- lgas 10y agoIt's best to understand that language evolves over time and despite the fact that "real-time" has had a specific meaning in the context of software for quite some time, it now has another meaning, under which all of the above technologies are real-time. Enjoy.
- employee8000 10y agoI don't think the term real-time has changed. Some people misuse it but it's still a very well-defined and strict term.

- angryasian 10y agocurious on what context do you mean by real time?
- azeirah 10y agoLikely that he means real-time OS kind of real-time. Like robotic vision; time-critical embedded software.

- mbm 10y agoThat's very cool! Perhaps the "Trump bump" could be quantified.
- jefferson123 10y agoYes. Sounds like you'll have to deal with getting the data from different sources (either by crawling or APIs) hopefully in a distributed manner (storm, for example) and then analyze the inputs using something like spark or hadoop. If you like, let me know if you end up building it. Email in profile.

- tedmiston 10y agoCould be an interesting experiment on Quantopian.

- bbcbasic 10y agowould be cool if twitter shorted itself
- onlydole 10y agoAn app that collects app ideas for the best realtime app idea and shows the aggregation of ideas on a webpage
- andrewstuart2 10y agoAnd it does it all -- get this -- in realtime.
- revelation 10y agoWhich, even funnier, are all very, very removed from the actual technical meaning of realtime to the point where they make a mockery of the concept.
- tedmiston 10y agoOr a chatroom for HN in general.

- garysieling 10y agoIf you're just looking for ideas, I would look at what people have done for conference talks, sometimes they have good project ideas - https://www.findlectures.com/?q=%20realtime&p=2&class1=Technology https://www.findlectures.com/?q=%20realtime&p=2&class1=Techn...
- mbm 10y agoThanks Gary. I hadn't seen this site, very cool.
- tedmiston 10y agoA social network for people drinking the same beverage right now. You could have rooms for particular regional coffees or more simple like hot chocolate or commercialized like one for Budweiser. There could be content you unlock by proving you're drinking a certain drink.

- logicspice_ 10y agoSocial networking are best way for side project
- id122015 10y agoI wad amazed by the youtube videos with the new capabilities of drones and hardware configurations.They also plan to deliver internet by drones if networking is what you are into.
- zengr 10y agoI got this idea of using my twitter follower graph and extracting out entities like movies, restaurants, books and people they talk about. I have noticed that I end up eating at places, go to coffee shops, read book and watch movies/shows people I follow talk about. If there was a simpler way to browse that, it might be useful.
