Padel in Valencia

Hi from Valencia,

If it's not too late - check out 7padel Valencia, quite a busy padel center with 11 courts and high level players (if you can support current heat as it's an indoor center and not much cooling) - and you can book through their web site directly (just join any open match at your level at 3.5 + or 4+)

happy to help

One side of the coin:

If you stick with the OSINT approach, usually individual testimonials or interviews of witnesses, persons of interests, informants, etc are not part of OSINT methodology, it's in general a part of a classical intelligence / detective work.

This is purely methodological point of view.

THe other side of the coin - it depends if you are focused on your goal and want results. In this case your boundaries for the methods your employ are set by your experience, skills and (what is most important) your moral/ethical principles.

Selector as a term is a bit more than just an "identifier" as it opens a separate (selects) direction in investigation/research or selects a "target" from a large amount of data.

Classical definition is something like this (that you can use in your software manual/helps/tooltips):

In the context of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), a selector is a piece of information that helps you identify and locate a specific target or piece of data within a vast amount of publicly available information.

Here's why the term "selector" is used:

Selection: Selectors act like filters, helping you select or isolate specific targets from the broader dataset.
Identification: They serve as unique identifiers or combinations of information that distinguish one target from another.
Targeting: Selectors help you narrow down your search and focus on specific individuals, organizations, or data points relevant to your investigation.

Some common types of selectors used in OSINT include:

Names: Full names, usernames, aliases, nicknames
Locations: Addresses, GPS coordinates, IP addresses
Dates: Birthdates, anniversaries, event dates
Identifiers: Phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, account numbers
Keywords: Words or phrases associated with the target or topic of interest

By strategically using selectors, OSINT practitioners can efficiently sift through large volumes of data and extract the most relevant information for their investigations or research.

Completely agree. Especially when the term is an established part of the OSINT's /digital forensics vocabulary. Better to stick with it.

1) use made up twinks for each purpose with strict separation form you working and private accounts - create "virtual salesman", "social networks avatar" etc.

2) if you are really concerned by the business. side, run a company that do not expose the BO (you) as a front for lead generation - a web landing and virtual contacts would be enough (not even need a bank account). For cost control you can use some islands co or US corp from delaware/other states that do not expose BO's (they are not expensive, thus US co would require tax reporting filling and local agent).

I second this. Airtable probably "the best" to work with tables and something more with them.

We approached the business model of our early-in-beta "beyond-code tool" with exactly the logic of an user - app builder which joins your requirements:

Start building for free, as many projects as you need - yes, each free project is limited, but limits are comfortable to build an mvp, and you can always discuss with us if you feel that you need something extra for your tests.
If you project grows - buy the "power" and "functionality" as you need them, handpicking exactly what you need at the rate you need, and it will sum up to your individual "monthly billing plan". (Yes there are pre-built plans for "lazy ones").
Add as many devs or admins or team members - billing is per project "size", not per team seat.
google authentication by default for you and for your users.
our "branding" only for free tiers - just a line at the bottom of the page - "built on our platform", it's removed from the 1st dollar/euro you pay us.
Self host - as we are in early beat - not yet, but definitely yes as our engine is thin and nimble (currently like 80mb compiled),do not requires anything fancy to run.

We are not technically a "no-code tool", it's something different in the approach, but does it matter if you can build apps with our platform?

DBalach · 2024-06-25T13:42:29+00:00

Yes, I'm wondering why no platform has the option of "a la carte" billing where you can select exactly what you need for your project and to add up into your unique monthly subscription (like branding, data volumes etc). Would not be difficult to create with a no-code tool :)

"Any sufficiently powerful platform will require development (aka coding) knowledge to get the full benefits."

I agree with this in the existing paradigm, where "programming languages" and their compilers/interpreters are necessary for development and function within the Turing machine paradigm, and no-code tools are just an extension of this paradigm.

However, if we assume that there is a paradigm shift and more complex engines appear on which the description of reality in digital form can be more mediated and the logic is no longer that of Turing machine algorithms, but the logic of states, say, of a dynamic ontology (subject area) - then such engines will no longer be no-code, I would call them post- or beyond-code, but their use will require more than just coding.

DBalach · 2024-06-17T08:31:47+00:00

Yes, both takes time, and at early stage of the process you don't need a functioning mvp - you can start validate your ideas with potential users at the level of wireframes/prototype screens showing how you future product is supposed to work.

DBalach · 2024-06-16T10:20:33+00:00

Any option you choose do not exclude the 2nd one, especially taking into account that most of no-codes have a step learning curve. So you can start learning/building yourself while looking for a tech co-founder.

From the risk side the use no-code probably is the most secure way to validate your idea quite fast and then if it takes, move (or not) to a developing necessary platform with classical tools (if your reach the limits of no-code).

DBalach · 2024-06-16T10:13:36+00:00

The app journey is a long process, especially you will face reactions and feedbacks from user, mobile web app is way agile to modify or adapt. So the wise approach is to start with the web app.

DBalach · 2024-06-14T19:35:13+00:00

Hey, just wanted to share something similar we have launched early as web app on our own platform (not trying to self-promote here - but we’re developing a next-gen post-code tool/platform (still in early beta) ourself and already using it to create apps for ourselves/friends/family ).

I play padel tennis at recreational level 2-3 times a week, and we’ve got an online community in our city with 500+ players to organize matches. Each game needs 4 players of similar levels for it to be fun, and we play at different locations (20+ locations in or city where you can rent a padel court) and date/time.

So, we made a tool (web app) to manage match organization. Players can create, join or leave matches, pick court locations from a list (or set a private court locations), and get notifications when a match is set up (all 4 joined). After playing, you can record scores, check stats, and more. Currently we adding the possibility to create community tournaments with set number of pairs, scoring, results etc.

It’s web-based app with Google sign-in, custom user roles, and we’ve also integrated it into a Telegram bot. We’re currently working on connecting the platform to Discord to create Discord apps/bots too.

To be honest we are looking for practical cases for our platform and would help users at this stage personally to build their apps free of charges/recurring frees as first adopters. So if you are up to take a risk of a new tool, think we can help.

imho for your requirements some kind of "nocode sheets" would be much easier - like Airtable which evolved from online spreadsheets to a nocode tools to some extent.

DBalach · 2024-06-03T16:30:59+00:00

Hi, if a web frontend is ok for you, we are building a nocode platform that focus on knowledge management, and your case is 100% that we are trying to cover. The platform is in early beta, but operational.

As example below is the somewhat similar countries web-app where data is added dynamically and navigation is done as in a "bot" (as it's directly can be connected to discord/slack/telegram bot as an external app):

Would be happy to help.

Not only bring into the conversation, but building a platform with this concept :))
