I'm confused. Is this already a searchable database? Or is this in the 'data gathering' phase?

Seems like this is the actual db, but the only table I see is "hospitols" which just has the websites and... a link to `cdm_source` which seems to be the pricing info for each hospital Not sure what they mean by "bounty" > This bounty will be run in 5 parts of 1 week each Is this some sort of crowd-sourced effort? Like GasBuddy but for hospitals? Their GitHub also some "example" apps with React, Lit, and Next https://github.com/onefact/payless.health/tree/main/examples https://github.com/onefact/payless.health/tree/main/examples I guess I should try building one of these examples first

  Funny that they obviously have the resources for making example apps in multiple frameworks but all their main websites are just the MarkDoc template with different text haha

I'm the author (Alec.) This is the data gathering phase. When we're able to release a database of these hospital prices with high data quality I think it'll be a pretty big deal, just because it's so much work. It's hard as hell because of how inconsistently formatted these price sheets are. We'll need to develop a robust ML tool to process all of them in a consistent way, or just put a lot of man hours in. That's something that One Fact is working on. DoltHub's main interest is in producing the source databases, which is just a lot of grind work. We're crowd sourcing the data collection via a "data bounty." It's like a scavenger hunt where you get paid for the data you input. I designed the table and I'm who reviews the data going in, via pull requests. Incidentally we do have a hospital price database here (the only open one of its kind) but with mixed data quality. https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub/hospital-price-transparency-v3 https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub/hospital-price-...
