I think a query language would be great, with a way to subquery/chain data from previous requests (e.g. by jsonpath) to subsequent ones.
The closest I’ve gotten is to wrap the APIs with GraphQL. This achieves joining, but requires strict typing and coding the schema+relationships ahead of time which restricts query flexibility for unforeseen edge cases.
Another is a workflow automation tool like n8n which isn’t as strict and is more user-friendly, but still isn’t very dynamic either.
Postman supports chaining, but in a static way with getting/setting env variables in pre/post request JS scripts.
Bash piping is another option, and seems like a more natural fit, but isn’t super reusable for data sources (e.g. with complex client/auth setup) and I’m not sure how well it would support batch requests.
It would be an interesting tool/language to build, but I figure there has to be a solution out there already.
Somewhat off-topic, but is there a tool which integrates something like this/jq/fx and API requests? I’d like to be able to do some ETL-like operations and join JSON responses declaratively, without having to write a script.
I made this web application to help me learn some music theory in real time whenever I stumble upon happy accidents such as chords, chord progressions, or scales that sound good, all without breaking the creative flow. The application can also fuzzy-find everything when I don't play the exact notes.

We use this at https://languageroadmap.com, but for difficulty rankings between titles in the context of language learning using media. It does seem to work pretty well and we disclaim rankings with the confidence score.
As for the grandparent comment: recency bias, as pointed out by another commenter is a thing, as is the tediousness of doing a bunch of pairwise decisions. I think a happier medium is to have everyone fill in tier charts (with variable number of tiers) and build the pairwise rankings from that.
I’m learning French with reading/media too and realized media will never exhaust itself like beginner apps do. I wanted an open-ended platform to to follow that reasoning, so I created https://languageroadmap.com as a way to keep finding interesting target-language media at my skill level.
While there are probably some tools to do this, I'd suggest taking the plunge and just doing native subs (or no subs!). Part of the immersion process is being comfortable in being uncomfortable. Removing the crutches can be a big leap, but IMO our brains need it in order to progress.
If I have native subs, I find myself falling back on them and not really learning. Less information on-screen is also less our brain has to process, which is already quite a bit when learning a new language.
Also finding subs (and good ones at that) are frustratingly difficult, so finding a pair that is synced up sounds like quite the task!
Thank you for checking out the site and for the comment!
I'm happy to announce the release of a site I've been working on to help find immersion content that's engaging _and_ at your level (without sacrificing one for the other).
It's part-catalog, part-immersion tracker, and part-recommendation system.
Find content by genre/theme or media type (movie, TV, book, podcast, YouTube channel), add it to your library or bookmark it for later, give it a thumbs up/down rating, and rank its difficulty to help us build a global difficulty scale!

I'm happy to announce the release of a site I've been working on to help find immersion content that's compelling and comprehensible. It's part-catalog, part-immersion tracker, and soon-to-be part-recommendation system.

Check it out, give it a test run, and let me know what you think (you can DM me any feedback or reply in this thread).
While this draws from mostly right-leaning concerns about higher education[0] despite claiming itself more open, I get the sentiment.
However, costs usually rank higher among concerns but they are not addressed that much in the article. I’d be interested to see how that will be addressed. New school might spend less on amenities and focus on accreditation, but professors still need to be paid competitively to attract and retain talent, and they will have to fight the uphill battle of falling state support[1].
Done mainly to learn latest React/Redux. It’s coming along nicely. Also hosted on GitHub pages as a type of progressive web app (https://cofinley.github.io/free-roam). I love the idea of offline apps where you bring your own data. Kind of like the Beaker Browser.
