This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
I'm posting this on behalf of a person in one of my Signal groups. I think it's a cool project and completely Motte worthy. I might post it a few times in case no one sees it...

From the About page:
It's a bit like a debate where evidence is gathered and commented on and each user gets to use a slider to determine their confidence in the claim. A bit like Metaculus but for sensemaking instead of predictions. I've helped by providing some evidence, but what the site really needs now are users. If you have a few minutes, maybe take a look find a topic you know something about and put some links up. I think Stacia has something pretty cool and interesting and I'd love to see it grow.
Cheers!
I like this idea very much, but I would caution you to be selective about the userbase and not promote it too widely as it seems easy to abuse and depends upon having relatively neutral users that aren't just going to slam the slider to 100 or 0 and downvote every piece of evidence on the wrong side. So I question whether an open forum like this will ever be successful. I would love to do, not exactly an "adversarial collaboration" (as have been popular here in the past), but a collaborative investigation of one topic or claim like this but just restricted to a personal project amongst friends the goal of which would be to produce something similar to Scott's deepdive posts
