<p><strong><a href="https://github.com/arxiv-vanity/arxiv-vanity">arxiv-vanity</a></strong></p> Beautiful new project from Ben Firshman and Andreas Jansson: “Arxiv Vanity renders academic papers from Arxiv as responsive web pages so you don’t have to squint at a PDF”. It works by pulling the raw LaTeX source code from Arxiv and rendering it to HTML using a heavily customized Pandoc workflow. The real fun is in the architecture: it’s a Django app running on Heroku which fires up on-demand Hyper.sh Docker containers for each individual rendering job. <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://twitter.com/bfirsh/status/922508174829203458">Ben Firshman</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ben-firshman">ben-firshman</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pdf">pdf</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/science">science</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/docker">docker</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world-government-data">World Government Data</a></strong></p> Launched last week, this is the Guardian’s meta-search engine for searching and browsing through data from four different government data sites (with more sites planned). Under the hood it’s Django, Solr, Haystack and the Scrapy crawling library. The application was built by Ben Firshman during an internship over Christmas. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ben-firshman">ben-firshman</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/data">data</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/datagovuk">datagovuk</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/guardian">guardian</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/haystack">haystack</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/projects">projects</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/scrapy">scrapy</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/solr">solr</a></p>
