myGeeKy

Your geeky friend who helps you grow, quietly.

On your phone and as a small panel on your computer. It reads your field, then shows you what matters, and it only suggests: it never acts for you. Tap a planet.

One quiet friend for your whole field

GeeKOc: “I read the twenty sites, so you read one.”

  • Give it a few keywords, a CV, your ORCID or your GitHub, or nothing at all: it learns from what you open
  • It ranks everything on your device. No server, no account, no telemetry
  • It only suggests. You follow, apply and write by hand, always
  • Your phone and your computer share it, through your own Google Drive or a private repo, if you want

See what myGeeKy knows about you

“Here's your month: three protocols started, one quiz passed, and someone cited you.”

  • Model: your field in the middle, what you've been into lately pulsing further out, new territory on the edge. Correct it whenever it's wrong
  • Interests fade with a 30-day half-life, and 20% always stays open for new territory, so you never end up in a bubble
  • My month: your rank from Soldier to General, and a card to share
  • Cited by and badges for what you've done

  • Live: what your circle built in the last hour, and repos worth your first pull request
  • Researchers who publish, and the leading lights near your field
