After some hard work (the process is detailed here), I successfully submitted my first PR. I learned a tremendous amount during the review process. I hope to use this feedback to significantly improve my code quality and structure in future PRs.

Tornado
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed.
Project mention: 100 Most-Watched Software Engineering Talks of 2024 | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-12I don't think this is about a niche but rather a broader need for lists, more specifically, integrated lists from users. Pinterest, for example, is built around lists, Amazon has wishlists, IMDb[1] provides movie rankings, etc.
From a data portability perspective, the real challenge is getting users to connect all these platforms to a kind of unified list, making it accessible for queries, machine learning, or other applications. This, in my view, is a traction problem rather than a technical one, independent of whether it justifies a business. FriendFeed[2] was a very interesting project where users could connect their profiles with many services and their followers sees updates. It seems their Tornado web server keeps getting updated [3].
More than a decade ago, I explored some of these ideas [4][5], conceptualizing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) model where data operations could be performed at a global level, dynamically recalculating like a spreadsheet.

> see especially the context local proxies in Flask (request, session); these look like global module imports, but they're actually request specific despite not being passed into your handlers... eek
I guess that was a Bottle thing that Armin Ronacher borrowed: https://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/api.html#request-context
A bad idea in retrospect, but hard to change now: https://github.com/bottlepy/bottle/issues/761
