Free daily JSON feed of Shanghai government subsidy notices
github.com15 points0 comments
This project provides a free, machine-readable JSON feed of Shanghai government grants, subsidies, and policy notices, aimed at researchers, consultants, foreign-invested businesses, and AI agents. It gathers about 150 notices from nine official bodies, including municipal science and technology, commerce, human resources, development and reform, intellectual property, and transport agencies. Each entry includes the Chinese notice title, official link, issuing body, publication date, and, when stated, an application deadline and days remaining. A flag indicates whether a programme is still open, while a heuristic score rates its relevance to foreign-invested small and medium-sized businesses.
The feed is available over HTTPS and can be queried directly with ordinary HTTP tools or command-line utilities, without scraping or browser automation. Users can filter open programmes and sort them by deadline; currently open entries may also include English titles and summaries, though the Chinese title and official notice remain authoritative. The hosted data is regenerated each morning around 08:10 China time, and an automated GitHub workflow copies an updated snapshot into the repository around 08:30. The compilation and metadata are licensed under CC BY 4.0. It does not guarantee complete coverage or accurate parsing, so applicants should verify details against the original government notice; it is not legal, tax, or investment advice.

One year of Dioxus fullstack in production: the good, the painful
After a year running Dioxus fullstack apps, one Rust codebase and shared types across server and client make development and refactoring simpler. The major drawback is a 90-minute release build on GitHub Actions, and an all-Rust stack still has some exceptions. (oxidt.com)
Four Months of Zig
After four months back with Zig, Anna Liberty built a small-network client library, a typing game, and an N-body simulator, while enjoying Zig’s straightforward development experience. The experience also exposed unfinished tooling, including a built-in fuzzer that did not work, and highlighted the value of local Zig meetups. (gracefulliberty.com)
