November​

  • Added i18n: 日本語
  • Updated @docusaurus/core@3.6.1 and found out it's not backward compatible...
    • Spent time updating the problematic code sections.
  • Wrote paper reviews, totaling 135 papers.
  • DocumentAI: Continued development.
  • TextRecognizer: Continued development from October.

October​

  • Completed the model demo functionality and deployed it on the website: Playground
  • Moved NextCloud from our own host to GCP and updated all download links.

September​

  • MRZScanner: Project completed and made open-source. 🎉 🎉 🎉
  • TextDetector: Continued development, following progress made in March.
  • Came across a beautifully designed website and had to note it down:
  • Wrote paper reviews, totaling 100 papers.

August​

  • MRZScanner: Deployment testing and rework.
  • Updated @docusaurus/core@3.5.2 and found out it's not backward compatible...

June​

  • AutoTraderX: Completed the API integration for Yuanta Securities and made it open-source. 🎉 🎉 🎉

  • Continued writing paper reviews, totaling 50 papers by this point.

May​

  • Finished developing the Text Recognizer model.
    • Final evaluation results were promising, but we think it’s still an "overfitted model pretending not to be overfitted." (???)
    • Since it doesn’t meet our ideal standards yet, we’ve decided not to release it for now.

March​

One day, we found that the Google Drive download feature broke—what was once accessible through gen_download_cmd became a garbled mess of HTML. 👻 👻 👻

After considering several options...

We decided to use NextCloud to set up a private cloud for storing data and updated our previous download links accordingly.

  • GmailSummary: Completed development and made it open-source. 🎉 🎉 🎉
  • DocClassifier: Discovered that stacking multiple normalization layers significantly improved model performance (a surprising discovery...).
  • TextRecognizer: Early-stage project planning.
  • WordCanvas: Development started.
  • TextDetector: Ran into several issues and decided to put it on hold for now.

Before This​

We drifted between various jobs, day after day, year after year. Listening to different bosses tell the same dreams, chewing on those tasteless promises.

Countless projects rushed to completion through sleepless nights, intertwining passionate ideals, only to sway between the capital market’s affection and indifference.

When the love fades, it all falls apart.

Before our youth completely slips away, we still want to leave something behind.

Anything will do—just to mark that we were here.
