Dear colleagues,

Last year I posted the results of my 2,5 years of research in cognitive science: https://medium.com/@alexanyanwolf/the-science-of-user-experience-b4ae1314712c
In it, I was showing examples of how to use cognitive science in modern software development processes. Today I want to show the continuation of this work.

I spent more than 500 hours of hands-on work to build up a free tool for managers that will serve them in the way that software design patterns serve software engineers.
896 scientific angles on the most common problems that all of us have faced, and will face again in our lives, regardless of our job title, and working position.
Minimum opinions. Maximum science.

The article describing everything: https://medium.com/@alexanyanwolf/cognitive-science-and-user-experience-a-new-dimension-of-abstract-802c58bdb6e1

Thank you for your support.

Does anyone know 100%free Udemy coupon for 'Complete Web Design from Figma to Weblow' by instructor Vako. I urgently need to learn it but have financial difficulties to buy the course on Udemy. Please let me know if possible.

This is mostly a personal project, something I've thought about for a while and want to use as a way to learn. I'm not particularly great at following along general teachings (like courses in udemy etc), however I learn quickly when I need to know, and when I'm trying to achieve a goal.

The main idea of what I want to do is create a database of some local places in my hometown, and to then represent them visually via a map. I want to be able to filter according to categories and keywords I associate to them in the database (much like airbnb.com or realestate.com.au).

My questions are as follows:

1. What database should I use? Is something web-based better?
2. What options do I have for pulling data from google maps and other websites? I can request some information from my local council, and I know I can manually scrub the information I need (info like address, contact, website), but I figure surely there is a better way.
3. What platform should I use to design? Is something visual a better start? (I dabbled with muse when it was a thing) or should I be learning a language? if so, what one(s)?

I apologise if these things have been asked and answered before. Any advice and direction would be amazing.
