myGeeKy

myGeeKy is a quiet companion for people who work at a computer: developers and computer scientists, bioinformaticians and data scientists, and researchers who analyse their own experiments. GROW Pick a skill and follow a reviewed protocol: a short path of steps, each pointing at a real tutorial, repository, paper or course that somebody checked by hand. Fourteen of them so far, from Git and GitHub teamwork to statistics for experiments, from a first web app to single-cell RNA-seq, from algorithms for interviews to turning images into numbers. PROVE IT Every protocol has a quiz. Each question quotes a sentence that is really on one of that protocol's own sources, so any answer can be checked against the page it came from. Ten questions an attempt, a mix of easy, applied and the real pitfalls. Only your best score counts, one attempt a day, and you can flag a question you think is wrong. FIND YOUR CHANCES Seasons tell you when the yearly calls open (scholarships, fellowships, research programmes and grants), so you can prepare before the deadline, not after it. Jobs, funding calls and conferences, each one read and verified before it is listed, ranked by how well it fits what you actually work on. Deadlines are checked, and anything past its date disappears by itself. KEEP UP WITHOUT THE NOISE Rising papers in your field, the tools your field runs on, trending AI models, new launches, and who builds what. Badges for the things you got done. Signals (optional): private thank-yous between myGeeKy users. Each one is encrypted so only the person it is for can read it, and no reply is ever expected. A FRIENDLY START GeeKOc, myGeeKy's octopus, shows you around the first time, in English, French, Arabic or Chinese, and Help answers how and why myGeeKy works. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No myGeeKy account and no myGeeKy server: sign in with GitHub or ORCID, drop in your CV, or just give a few keywords • No analytics, no ads, no tracking • What it learns about you stays on your phone • Your GitHub token is kept in the phone's secure storage and only ever sent to GitHub • It only reads public data. It never follows, stars or posts anything for you Pair it with the desktop app by scanning a QR code, and the two show the same things. myGeeKy is free and open source (MIT). The code, the reviewed protocols and every quiz question are public at github.com/mygeeky/myGeeKy. It also runs on Windows, macOS and Linux: mygeeky.org
