I thought I’d drop one refresher post here detailing my recent projects just so the few of you who end up here have another launch pad to rocket of!

This year I’ve been pursuing the idea of my Ikigai, trying to get closer to the best work I can do. I’m fairly sure at this point that it involves supporting fledgling entrepreneurs who are just about to, or already have made the leap. I’ve found myself mentoring new entrepreneurs naturally in the past, and have made several businesses helping them with products. Now I’m trying to hammer down even further and really work out what good I can do.

Here’s this years projects so far:

Niche Report.io

A Niche Report is going to be the first step for a new entrepreneur, (or a seasoned one entering a new niche). This new service takes 4 weeks worth of work doing market research, and rips through the process with AI, bots, data crunching and multi-exit oversight (me). In the end you get a market research report on your niche within 24 hours; and it’s got all the key signals you need to inform how you should proceed into the niche, or even if you should.

Project Pages

Project Pages is a WordPress portfolio maker, in essence. It’s a plugin I made 8y ago or so, but I’ve rebooted it. It’s focus is on helping makers, creators, and generally capable people document their creator journeys and try to connect-the-dots of their work. This runs parallel to my overall search for my own ikigai, and you can see I’ve updated my own personal project pages recently.

CoupleFlow.app

CoupleFlow is an AI Insights tool for relationship communication. It sits with you in your couples DMs on Telegram and gives you weekly check-ins which help you grow as a couple. CoupleFlow uses tuned AI which is trained on the latest relationship science to observe for the characteristics of a healthy relationship, and steer you towards it. It might help with a range of communication problems with relationships or marriages. (I will keep improving it with feedback over at CoupleFlow.app.)

I also added a Telegram Chat Analyser which gives users chat stats on their Telegram chats.

A small side project: CRM List.io – compares various CRM apps so you can find the one which fits your business.

As ever, you’ll get up to date stuff on my main website (this is an old blog which only gets an update a decade 😀 ): woodyhayday.com/blog

Here’s to all the makers and entrepreneurs! Long may we make things.

P.S. I’d also like to mention my friend Mike Stott has started a great new blog on Content that Converts, which is also valuable to new entrepreneurs, check it out!

The post Google BigQuery and Predictions API – Swap data for processing time? first appeared on Woody Hayday | Blog.

May was a month of brick lane curries, a new art exhibition (silent city), mini golf and a bunch of other blurry stuff.

June was a good month (on the whole apart from hackers and google caffeine?!?), did incalculable amounts of coding, new site rollouts, tennis, monopoly, booked new york flights and some other stuff. Wrote a lot, drank a lot of wine, updated a bunch of auction2post sites because eBay updated their api (for the better) – standard summer month.

I started 4 draft posts across these two months but none seemed to stick, it’s not like the months were dry, posts boning csharp just didn’t fit, I was going to post csharp iis and multisql management code, a nice project I wrote to datamine from ebays new api and I was thinking of digging out my seo hub php based hub and rewriting it as a multi threaded windows app, but yeah sometimes stuff just doesn’t seem to hold enough value.

As ever though projects continue to crop up and evolve. I am working on a stupidly simple file system snapshotter after an incident with a second hacker, I will probably post about ripping data from the Nike app on the iPhone, if it isn’t up already somewhere else. Also I will make a quick program to save the top 20 wallpapers from reddit to a folder so windows 7 can automatically show me new epics (theres even an rss!) if know one else saves me the effort. Unless that is, all this stuff gets superseded. Mostly it’s just me biding my time and making broader plans

Look out for possible random posts on business intelligence, the stock market and brain architecture too, as they seem to keep cropping up.
