@davidfriva Thanks for the update; I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to finish your stated goals given the budget. Do you happen to have anything publicly shareable based on your work on this project? Even work-in-progress/drafts could be helpful for others who want to try something similar!

FWIW, I'm more skeptical than Nuno that work of the form "make large lists of project ideas" is useful, as execution (not ideas) are almost always the bottleneck. But as usual, happy to be proven wrong!
