What is missing from current CV dataset and annotation workflows?

I’m working on Daqa, a waitlist-stage workspace for teams preparing AI training datasets, and I’m trying to sanity-check the computer vision side with people who actually build image/video datasets.

The workflow I’m looking at is everything around annotation: sourcing or uploading data, profiling quality issues, cleaning/deduping, generating missing cases, labeling/reviewing, tracking provenance/license evidence, validating the dataset, and exporting in formats like COCO, YOLO, or image manifests.

I’d really value feedback on four things:

  • What feature would you most want to see in a tool for this workflow?
  • Does the pricing on https://daqa.ai/ make sense for CV dataset prep?
  • What would you need to see before joining a waitlist or trying it?
  • What tools do you use today for this use case, such as CVAT, Roboflow, Label Studio, FiftyOne, scripts/notebooks, etc., and what do they still lack?

I’m especially trying to understand whether the pain is annotation itself, or the surrounding workflow: source tracking, review, dataset versioning, validation, and clean export.

Feedback on dataset prep workflows

I’m working on Daqa, a waitlist-stage workspace for teams preparing AI training or evaluation datasets, and I’m trying to sanity-check the workflow with people who actually manage ML/data pipelines.

The problem I’m looking at is the messy path from source data to model-ready export: finding data, uploading/importing it, profiling quality issues, approving cleaning/transforms, generating missing examples, labeling/reviewing, tracking provenance/license evidence, validating, and exporting in the right format.

I’d really value feedback on four things:

  • What feature would you most want in a tool for this workflow?
  • Does the pricing on https://daqa.ai/ make sense for this kind of dataset ops tool?
  • What would you need to see before joining a waitlist or trying it?
  • What tools are you using now for this use case, and what do they still lack?

I’m especially interested in whether this should start as a broad dataset operations workspace or a narrower wedge around provenance, eval datasets, labeling/export, or synthetic data review.

I’m building Daqa for AI training datasets. What features/pricing would make it worth trying?

I’m building Daqa, a waitlist-stage product for teams preparing AI training data.

The pitch is:

Daqa helps teams find source data, clean it, generate missing records, label what matters, and export reviewed Data Packs from one workspace.

It is meant for the messy middle between “I need training data” and “I have a clean dataset ready for my model.” That usually involves public dataset search, uploads, notebooks, cleaning scripts, annotation tools, synthetic data experiments, provenance notes, and export formatting.

The waitlist page is here: https://daqa.ai/

I’d love feedback from anyone who has had to prepare training or evaluation data:

  • What feature would you most want to see in a tool like this?
  • Does the pricing on the page make sense for this kind of workflow?
  • What would you need to see before joining the waitlist?
  • What tools do you use today for this use case, and what do they still lack?

Looking for feedback on a React Native package for resumable background downloads

I published a React Native package called react-native-client and would like feedback from people who have shipped native/mobile packages.

NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-client

GitHub: https://github.com/zraisan/react-native-client

The package came out of building Orb, my private offline AI app for Android. Orb needs to download local model files that can be multiple GB, so I needed something more reliable than a simple JS download flow.

Current stable API: downloadFile

What it supports right now:

  • native direct-to-file downloads
  • OkHttp on Android
  • URLSession on iOS
  • progress callbacks
  • HTTP Range resume
  • Content-Range validation before appending partial files
  • Android foreground-service background mode
  • iOS background URLSession
  • Nitro Modules typed API

What it does not support yet:

  • task IDs
  • cancel API
  • persistent queue
  • checksum verification
  • uploads
  • general request/response API

Orb is the first real product use case: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.falaq.orb

I’m mainly looking for API/package feedback before expanding the surface area.

I built Orb, private offline AI for Android

I built Orb because I wanted AI on my phone that still worked when the network disappeared.

Most AI apps send every prompt to a server. Orb runs local models directly on Android, so after the one-time model download it works without Wi-Fi or mobile data. No account, no subscription, no ads.

What it does:

  • Offline AI chat
  • Image analysis on-device
  • Document upload for private local Q&A
  • Voice input and text-to-speech
  • No login, email, API key, or cloud chat backend
  • CPU fallback, GPU where supported, and experimental Snapdragon NPU paths on supported devices

Supported models include Qwen3-VL 2B, Qwen3-VL 4B, MiniCPM-V 4.6, and Gemma 4 E2B.

It is Android / Google Play only for now. Current price is $0.99 one-time: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.falaq.orb

I’d love feedback from people who care about private/offline tools: is the value clear from the listing, and what device compatibility info would you want before buying?

Orb: private offline AI for Android

I built Orb, an Android app for running AI locally on your phone.

It is not meant to replace a power-user local LLM setup, home server, or desktop tool. The goal is simpler: private AI on Android that works without Wi-Fi or mobile data after setup, with no account and no subscription.

What it does:

  • Offline AI chat after downloading a model once
  • Image analysis on-device
  • Document upload for private local Q&A
  • Voice input and text-to-speech
  • No login, email, API key, or cloud chat backend
  • No ads or subscription
  • CPU fallback, GPU where supported, and experimental Snapdragon NPU paths on supported devices

Supported models include Qwen3-VL 2B, Qwen3-VL 4B, MiniCPM-V 4.6, and Gemma 4 E2B.

It is Google Play only for now, priced at $0.99 as a one-time purchase: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.falaq.orb

I would appreciate feedback from Android users on device compatibility, first-run setup, and whether the private/offline positioning is clear enough.
