Description

Project name

Awareness

Repo URL

https://github.com/nazmiefearmutcu/awareness

Description (description-only, per CONTRIBUTING)

Local-first public-text ingestion engine. Backfills any historical date range from Common Crawl + FineWeb and live-tails RSS / sitemaps / GDELT into Apache Iceberg, queryable from DuckDB. Single process, no cluster required.

Suggested tags

internet, dev.storage (data-pipeline / storage)

Why it fits

  • Pure Python (FastAPI + pyiceberg + duckdb + httpx)
  • Self-contained application (web UI ships with the FastAPI server at /)
  • Long-running (live tail) + one-shot (backfill) modes
  • Not a library / not a notebook / not a tutorial

Status

  • v0.1.0 released, MIT licensed
  • README has a built-in 'Research Workbench' UI section with 4 screenshots
  • Architecture diagram in README

Happy to add to projects.yaml directly via PR if preferred — let me know.
