Chicago Review Storefront Rescue

Chicago Review Storefront Rescue

The Chicago Review is a literary magazine which has published works by Jack Kerouac, Anaïs Nin, and authors of the now who are writing the future of literature.

The magazine staff had trouble with their shop plugin, and needed a fix. They wanted to get their online shopfront working and sell issues.

We were able to jump in and get their store working quickly, integrating a new shopify plugin and implementing an algorithm to match their products to their issue pages.

Now they're back to what they have been doing since the 1940s: distributing the best in contemporary literature.

Zero Views

Zero Views

It's easy to find videos with millions of views, but those that have zero are harder to discover.

A friend of ours has a project to compile visions of videos with no views, and we made it possible to search for them systematically.

An on-demand ETL job does some tricky work to scour youtube, finds videos with absolutely no views, and prunes them when they are seen even once.

Click any video on the dashboard, and you will see something nobody else has laid eyes on. Your view will be logged by youtube, and the video will disappear from the site.
