GithubAPI
How could the Github API help set up an open source traffic reduction system in Bali?
Bali's traffic can be managed organically and gently, using a network of linked open source version control systems. Github allows for granular, flexible project management, and multi-lingual collaboration, without being top-down or rigid.
A grassroots solution implemented in one village could be scaled quickly, using the repo forking feature. What works in Ubud, could work in Singaraja, with some minor adjustments.
User Stories
Example Scenario: Imagine a local resident, Wayan, who is frustrated with the daily traffic jams at the Penestanan hairpin bend. Wayan joins the /r/PenestananTraffic subreddit and starts a discussion about the issue. Other residents chime in with their observations and suggestions.
Meanwhile, a GitHub repository is set up to document these discussions and track the progress of proposed solutions. Over time, the community collaborates to implement traffic management strategies, such as adjusting traffic light timings or creating alternative routes, and shares their success stories with neighboring villages.
Every day in Bali, from 11am to 4pm, vehicles are nearly at a standstill, causing significant delays and frustration for commuters. By leveraging the Reddit and GitHub APIs, we can create a hyper-localized platform where locals can discuss and propose solutions to this issue.
Hyper-Localization Strategy:
Subreddits for Each Village: Create individual subreddits for each Balinese village, allowing residents to discuss hyper-local traffic issues and solutions. GitHub Repositories: Set up GitHub repositories for each village to document proposed solutions, track their implementation status, and collaborate on code or data-driven approaches.
Overview
The project could be easily repurposed for village nutrition and anti-scamming.
It's not hard to create mission-focused websites for various goals such as:
- Single Mission Crowdfunding
- Anti-scammer Sites
- Organic Traffic Management
Features
- Monitor multiple provinces
- Local discussion forums
- Real-time updates
- Teaching locals to use the Reddit and Github APIs.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

How could the Github API help set up an open source traffic reduction system in Bali? Question Bali's traffic can be managed organically and gently, using a network of linked open source version control systems.

A grassroots solution implemented in one village could be scaled quickly, using the repo forking feature. Locals would be free to make their own decisions, after a simple, editable template is set up. Once the free trafficflow platform is provided, each village can take the open source project in any direction.
I was thinking of something like:
One Repo per town/village/congestion spot. i.e. /ubud /penestan /campuhan-hairpin-bend. Repos would have a lateral hierarchy, like reddit.
A README per congestion spot, outlining the specific, unique traffic issues, problem and ideas. 5-10 pre-started issues per Repo, where locals and programmers could discuss solutions in multiple languages.
Show a local how to manage a Repo and write GFM. Takes 15 to 30 minutes. Lots of videos already made. Can be done from a smartphone using Githubs well-made app.
Github facilitates open project management. We can trust that each village will make their own decisions. Each regency and village could set clearly signposted speedlimits, painted on wood. Each speed limit sign could be put up for 5-10 USD.
Once a small network is set up, it could be displayed using a front-end site, that displays, issues, a list of current trafficflow repos, new discussions, etc. Many codepens use the github API successfully. Both the front-end and github repo network models can be scaled for free.
Any ideas or questions please go ahead.
