An example application for matching would be finding housemates based on shared interests, distance from some point on a map, etc.

Any low-code/no-code tool suggestions to visualize, jerry-rig the matching would be appreciated.

Recently I've been thinking a lot about the Facebook VPN that paid its users to collect data from them. There was a ton of backlash around this story, but it left me wondering, could something similar achieve success?

What if there existed some open-source "keylogger" that tracked and monitored everything you did on your desktop. It could provide a dashboard of every action you took. You could maybe edit the things you did or did not want recorded.

Then, if you wanted to get paid, you could sync your data up to some server. Your data would be anonymized and merged with data from all the other users of the service. 3rd party companies could pay to get access or insight for that treasure trove. Whenever that happens, the end-user is paid some small amount for their contribution.

Could it work?

Does anyone have experience using refundable deposits to filter out serious applicants/users from not-so-serious ones? Does it work? Why or why not?

An example of a service that uses refundable deposits is Crew (https://crew.co). After submitting your project specs to them, they ask for a refundable deposit to gauge your level of intent before making introductions.

And what are some current examples?

I'm in the process of translating portions of a web app of mine into multiple languages. I was wondering what sites/services some of you have used to help with the internationalization process.
