Ask HN: Do You Maintain a Hobby Dataset?

1 points by soultrees 2y ago ↗ HN

I'm looking for inspiration and would love to hear about the datasets and how you're using those datasets in your hobby applications.

My personal data set I am building is a single dataset of all SVG brand logos and colour palettes for as many companies as I can scrape. I'm at about 8k now and not doing anything with it except posting it on huggingface and also feeling a bit smug that I have all this info.

So let's see what you're working on.

My SVG Brand Logo Dataset (which needs to be cleaned up. I need to run it through my clean script a few times but this is a start):

I originally maintained a database of all the sushi I ate, but lost it due to a Heroku migration that I neglected to heed.

damn. Sorry to hear.

SELECT sushi_name FROM sushi_eaten ORDER BY yummyness DESC LIMIT 1; ?

It was more like a pokemon for sushi. I'd take a picture of the sushi, select type of fish, and where I ate it. And then I would have this collage of all of the different types of fish.

Well next time you fire this up, it might be fun to include additional attributes for each fish to make it like a full Pokémon index.
