I created Persagen.com [1] as a self-taught, solo programmer.

Persagen is a knowledge / search engine devoted to the pursuit of universal social justice and equality, environmental protection, and universal human rights.

Persagen tracks and curates wealth, power, and influence affecting these issues.

Persagen seeks a better world and society: sustainability; people over profit.

My premise is that better knowledge enables better decision-making: voting; solutions, etc.

Aside: I am trans [2], so the polarizing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, protests and legislation (Canada, USA) are of particular concern / interest.

Key attributes:

* curation of news and data relating to wealth, power, influence * backend: Apache Solr, JavaScript, etc. * frontend: search, some visualization examples (d3.js) * curated data sources [3] * bespoke ontology [4] * prototype knowledge graph * FAQ [5] * Mastodon social media account [6] * external news RSS feed [7] * general introduction / overview [8] * technical introduction [9] * privacy-respecting (no trackers, ...) * demonstration page [10]

Due to the backend server (Apache Solr; SSL/TLS-enabled) and the loading of some content into external tabs, JavaScript and popups are required:

Aside: I am seeking employment: please see my C.V. [11] and cover letter [12]. Thank you.
