Slingpin was based on a problem I encountered with aggregating content from multiple sources. I wanted to collect articles, videos or interesting content in order to focus on it at a later date.
The original idea was to integrate with mobile or browser and “sling” content onto the platform, which would then be split by “Article”, “Music” or “Video”. You could then come back to the app later and input the amount of time you had available, with the recommendation engine giving you content to fit within that timeframe.
I built an API and progressive web app that would collect the urls and scrape them to get details to store in the database.
This was as far as I got, eventually abandoning the project as I wasn’t happy with the direction and it was boring to basically implement a CRUD app with search.
