HN discussionI'm wondering if there could be an opportunity for an open-source contract tracing system, similar to the allReady [1] application ? Maybe something backed by a graph database such as Neo4J [2] Looking at the allReady repo, maybe it isn't a great example since it hasn't been touched in years...

HN discussionWhen we built the new set of drivers for Neo4j, we decided to allow three modes: No encryption, Trust on First Use and Trusted Signature - there's no way to establish an connection without trust. This was a terrifying decision, because of ease of use concerns. Having done so and shipped it, TL;DR: It worked awesome, outside of some early kinks in TOFU that we worked out - and now everyone can sleep well knowing ther…

HN discussionCan I just say that this is a space I’ve been deeply interested in for a long long time (I have a terrible memory, and latched on to tech early), and it blows my mind that very few (if any) of these solutions use a graph database as the back-end. I understand the argument that it’s likely overkill for <10000 entries, but for me it’s been wildly freeing. Especially in cases where the abstraction layer gets out of the…
