AI Analysis

●MidNiche Gem

Comprehensive parliament database, but static archives lack real-time legislative tracking.

Strengths
  • •Covers both houses of Japan's Diet and South Korea's National Assembly in one place.
  • •Includes detailed election counts, districts, and proportional representation data.
Weaknesses
  • •Static archive format means no API for programmatic access or analysis.
  • •No voting records or bill sponsorship data, just member biographies.

Built and shipped an iOS app from my phone while traveling Japan

The real stunt here isn't the phrasebook — it's the developer workflow: a never-sleeping Mac + SSH + persistent shells to trigger remote TestFlight builds while living out of a backpack. The app is practical (offline, pre-generated ElevenLabs audio, dynamic-number phrases, JLPT kanji and one‑time IAP), so the demo isn't vaporware — it's a neat example of shipping under extreme constraints rather than a novel product idea.
