Here's a demo video (fairly old, have to still update with the latest look): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GfKBvs53Ss
Say you have a picture on a blog post showing a car engine, explaining how to fix something inside of it. You could highlight/link all the individual parts in that car to where your users can buy them on O'Reilly Auto Parts, and make a commission each time they make a purchase (affiliate marketing). I think this type of advertisement is 1) beneficial for users for its informative nature, 2) leads to bloggers being able to focus on content instead of worming offputting advertising into their blogs (such as banner ads), and 3) could lead to a more interactive internet where things in any image can be purchased or even just linked to for informative purposes[1].

We provide a drone to the (primarily aggregates/mining) industry that can create highly detailed survey quality maps. Our customers can use the data in measuring the volume of their material (stockpiles) and in planning a big project, construction, etc. Basically anything you can imagine someone would need information about a physical location from above.
We develop the full stack in house. In that I mean electronics (PCB board level), drone hardware (mechanical), low-level embedded software, and flight controller software. We also develop an iPad app that allows customers to easily operate the drone autonomously.
We also do all the data processing, using photogrammetry and open source mapping frameworks and tools (gdal) and provide users with a web interface via our Cloud platform for them to view, manipulate and download their data.
Basically, a very much work-in-progress pile of code to plan orbital trajectories and interplanetary travel. Its also quite handy when doing simple computations:
>>> # distance to the Sun, in light-seconds
>>> Earth.orbit.semi_major_axis / c

>>> # Martian year, in (usual Earth) days
>>> Mars.orbit.period / Earth.solar_day
686.9944644093075
>>> # ping to New Horizons (light roundtrip), in hours
>>> (Pluto.orbit.periapsis - Earth.orbit.apoapsis) / c / 3600 * 2

Unlike 98% of the industry, we sell CPAP equipment for cash prices. This means that you, not the insurance company, are the respected and valued customer.
The "cash CPAP" space means:
1. A market incentive to build people first instead of billing code first products.
2. A market comfort items that would never be produced in a billing code world.
3. A system where it pays to pick up the phone and know all about the product you are selling, which is different from the model where I ship it, bill it and don't get paid to support it.
4. $189 CPAPs (way cheaper than your copay and deductible through insurance) and $1000 machines (way better than what an insurance provider could give you profitably). The best of both worlds, whatever you need it available.
Insurance is great for heart surgery and awful for OTC and sub $1000 medical products. We don't think that change is understood in our healthcare debate and we've built a sustainable market that is the change we want to see.
When we're done, people with Sleep Apnea will have access to buy CPAP stuff like they buy Amazon stuff and they won't think twice about it. It'll "just" work and be nothing special. That may not be as sexy as building a drone or going to Mars, but fixing a chunk of healthcare is difficult and worth it. If we can do it, and we will do it, we'll have a huge and lasting impact.
W3Counter was a 12-year-old website offering web stats reports and hit counters with 30-something-thousand users. I ditched all the old code, and the data model, and the business model, and started from scratch. New framework, new way of storing and analyzing stats that scales better and provides more value, and snazzy new design (I hope; design was never my strong suit).
The most awesome part for me was throwing out all the old code. Not having to continue developing in and supporting a framework that barely runs in a modern environment. It's going over well so far. The transition was pretty seamless.

I'm also getting started on two new graphic novels; one is a fantasy story about smart people making very bad relationship decisions, and the other is about a girl slowly turning into a monster while elves invade New Orleans.
We made it free and fast to get browser-trusted certs and have already issued over 1,000,000 certs for over 2,500,000 domains, most of which have never had browser-trusted HTTPS before. Now many major hosting providers and platforms are in the process of making an HTTPS cert automatic and standard for every hosted site.
Bicycl is a calendar for your life's work. Record what you learn and accomplish each day (or week, month, etc). Organize these micronotes into stories of progress over time. See lots of cool data come to life.
Screenshots coming. I'm testing things out right now in beta, but if you want to give it a twirl, I can send out a few invitations to first comers.
A couple notes: As someone who's struggled with depression, I built this because I found at the end of a day, my mind was putting very little stock in what I had actually accomplished. Fixating on futures constantly would degrade my self-confidence. It's harder to ignore your progress when it's all right there in front of you.
I still journal by hand and use Evernote daily. But found I also wanted somewhere to put my "nuggets", epiphanies, things I learn, etc.
Realtime telemetry for race and street cars. Open source firmware, hardware and mobile app. https://github.com/autosportlabs . Our tech is used by many people, from car enthusiasts, to professional race teams to even race boats that go nearly 200mph.
I focus mainly on the website and telemetry infrastructure. It's awesome because we work with people who are passionate about racing, we truly do mean 'realtime' when we say it and we get to race and go to track days :)
Most of the incumbents are using 1990s tech and have 0 web presence. The next available realtime telemetry systems cost > $30k, and ours is $600.
We have some big plans for the future, if you're interested in racing check us out!

It's a wave-powered, autonomous sensor platform built for longevity at sea. We do things like monitor salinity in the arctic, circle oil platforms looking for leaks, track tagged mammals on migration, and do coordinated fleet maneuvers for ocean floor mapping and exploration.
It started as HN's "Who is hiring" thread but on the map and with better search. Mainly to solve the mess with suff like: SOMA, SF, valley, San Francisco, there is way too many ways to describe this one location ;) Also there not much of a difference when you are looking from Europe if it's Palo Alto or San Francisco.
Although right now it is more than that, I've wrote parsers for 8 major IT related job websites, and more in progress.
At some point I was extremely annoyed by the fact that I have to visit many sites to see all interesting job offers.
End result is that last-mile ISP's are replaced by individuals with network equipment on their roofs, "mining" the airwaves.

Tracks my/your favorite TV shows.
I got tired of googling "Dr Who episodes" whenever I wanted to know if the next half-season was starting soon, or to see whether any more episodes remained before a hiatus.
So I built a thing which monitors the data from Wikipedia episode list pages, normalizes it, and lets you easily view what's airing recently / soon. Also sends an (optional) email each week listing the upcoming week's schedule of my shows, plus a list of new / resuming shows.
Generally the only thing I need to do manually is to add primary network feeds. The show and episode feeds are scraped from there, with noise filtered out.
One of the coolest things is that it almost entirely heals itself -- canonical URLs and redirects are used to ensure consistent feed resolution, deprecated feeds are auto-removed after X time so long as it's a clear deprecation scenario, renamed shows are auto-updated, and an admin dashboard shows me stats about expected categories and outliers, so that I can easily investigate logic gaps from time to time.
A progressive web app for improving music sight reading skills. (Also perfect pitch identification ability.)
I wasn't happy with my sight reading speed, so I've been building this to help myself practice. Some distinguishing features:
- Web MIDI, to connect to a MIDI keyboard you can use to "answer" the practice questions (works in Chrome for Android or Desktop)
- Web App Manifest, to allow adding to your home screen / desktop and getting a native app feel
- Service Worker (via sw-precache), for offline access (and cache-first loading when online, so it always loads fast)
- Web Audio, to synthesize pitches
- VexFlow, for rendering sheet music to SVG

Instead of having to learn the ins and outs of virtualization, Vagrant and Puppet, you simply fill in some form fields, click a few buttons and download a zip archive containing your choices. A simple `vagrant up` and a few minutes later you have your virtual machine up and running, either on your local machine or on a remote host.
PHP 5.4 - 7.0, Ruby, Node, Python. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongo (and more). Apache/Nginx (or none).
Helps eliminate the tired "it works on my machine" excuse by allowing a team to share exact replicas of a VM. Any changes made on one VM can easily be shared with others because it's all driven through a single, simple YAML file. Just check it into your repo and push, and everyone else can then replicate your changes themselves.
It's MIT FOSS and contributors are welcome!
Before that I developed the Apple Homekit protocol for the OberonHAP devkit (http://oberonhap.com/ ). This is THE HomeKit Bluetooth implementation if you want to use really small and low-cost solutions.
GreatSchools has a monopoly in this space but their 1-10 ratings scale is opaque and their website hard to navigate. EdScore has a more granular 50-100 rating scale, modern search, better mapping, and soon will feature search filters by distance and home price so parents can evaluate, say, top schools within a 1hr commute of SF with a median home price under $1m.
Automatically detects breaking news through social media (Twitter). Breaking news, before it breaks.
We're often able to beat the mainstream media by several minutes (sometimes hours), and we're particularity good at natural disasters, bombings, explosions, shootings and celebrity deaths. There's no human in the loop, no key word lists, just real-time algorithms figuring out what was unexpected.
https://github.com/RobotTurtles https://github.com/RobotTurtles/home
These turtles use a raspberry pi + webcam to turn to a face, recognize "flash cards" via QR cods, and chase a ball. All parts are open source, so if you have a 3D printer, you can pretty much build one yourself. (The pcb you would need to order from dirtypcbs, though I have a few spare if needed).
At first it was an internal tool I ran for a long time, but been working to make it a service.
It's a map of sport clubs (gyms, karate dojos, swimming pools, etc) in Slovenia.
Why I made it?
After moving back to Slovenia I started looking for a traditional Karate dojo. My choice would be constrained by hour of training and dojo philosophy (traditional karate vs sports karate). It turned out to be really difficult to find all the dojos nearby, as they neither on Google Maps, and many have very poor website (and terrible SEO). I spend two days Googling for all the possible hits, and I had created a list of Karate dojos. After selecting one (which turned out to be great), I thought that other people would be able to benefit from the list. So I made this website, where all the karate dojos were plotted on a map. Later, I started adding more categories.
Why it's awesome?
It's a time saver, and I am trying to convert it to a community maintained website. And it's all open source. To exist it requires zero maintenance, and hosting costs 0.30 EUR per month.
Going forward
1) I want to expand it to more categories 2) I am looking for partnerships with sport organizations who would like to place a Zatresi map on their website for their visitors to more easily find related klubs (e.g. a the karate organization could show the map of all karate klubs in Slovenia) 3) Even more brand awareness - this requires more time investment, so it's tricky. I am trying to identify clusters where I could have the most impact (sport forums, etc)
A boat & fleet tracking solution, tailored fit for chartering companies.
What is it?
The device, once installed on a boat, starts tracking the GPS position (high frequency measurements) as well as all the sensors which are connected to it (bilge, battery voltage, motion sensors, etc. All this data is presented to the charter owner on web and mobile dashboards. Additionally, the service sends push notification if anything unusual occurs (like the battery voltage being too low). It also offers virtual anchoring and locking functions, which add an additional layer of safety to boats.
Why is it cool?
It improves safely on board. You are instantly notified of anything bad happen, like the battery depleting rapidly. Who wants to get stuck in an island without replacement battery?
It helps resolve conflicts between charters and guests in the case of an accident. If a guests damages the boat (for example by cruising in shallow waters), the charter can quickly find this out by glancing on where the boat was travelling.
It produces beautiful data (trip history maps which can be shared by the charter/guest on social networks) and enables services previously impossible to imagine.
As a boat owner, it helps you keep a peaceful mind while you are away. You are notified of the bilge operation, so you know it was working correctly during a heavy storm.
We are soon releasing a B2C boat monitoring solution - stay tuned (bookmark the website)
Reddit.tv was an app to watch videos posted to reddit but shut down back in January. Haven't been able to find a replacement that I liked, so I built my own. Made the videos full-screen by default and added extra stuff like support for Soundcloud embeds (so you could listen to music subreddits), a directory of video-posting subreddits, multireddits, keyboard shortcuts.
Professionally: https://tailorbrands.com - Algorithmically designed logos and branding assets. It's great for side projects, inspiration, or any other situation where you want something quick and usable.
I developed the first bot, which can be used as a sample, with JavaScript (ES6, and ES7's async/await) and Nightmare (based on Electron, so on Chromium).
It's awesome because free API access to this data for any bank in the world may enable new and interesting fintech apps (actually, for me this project is a stepping stone towards another project that I plan to build on top of it), and I think that the open-source approach is the most effective way to achieve that (i.e. free and comprehensive API access to accounts data on any bank of the world).
I'm working on a new paradigm for creating generative content for 3D displays (at the moment with LEDs). I'm also working on real-time, single-angle virtual reconstruction and registration of 3D LED structures using computer vision techniques.
It's basically an iPad sequencer with the UI of a drawing app. You're given a canvas that can be panned and zoomed like any scroll view, with a grid indicating time on the horizontal axis and pitch on the vertical axis. You draw notes with your finger, and although you can snap to the grid like in most sequencers, you can also choose to start your notes at any point and bend them to any pitch. This makes it simple to experiment with things like guitar solos and complex rhythms. Usability was my primary goal through and through: I wanted almost anyone to be able to pick up my app and start making music in an instant. In a way, I see it as a kind of modern take on sheet music!
More about the design here: http://beta-blog.archagon.net/2016/02/05/composers-sketchpad...
The app is out but I still have a ton of features I want to add, including iPhone support.
http://webcomics.io - online webcomics publishing platform.
I also have a dream of building a youtube competitor, video hosting platform with a better design, functionality, and discovery system. MVP is almost ready but not online yet.
Why it is awesome: I have done a lot of things as an entrepreneur, but I've never street hustled before. As an introvert, this is pretty intimidating, but I think it will be good practice for doing more sales in the future. Plus, it gets me out from behind the computer and into the real world, talking face-to-face with folks! :)
It right now supports batch processing via local files as well as streaming through FIFO files, but the architecture is extremely open, and connectors for docker containers, mesos etc are planned.
What is awesome with SciPipe IMO is that half of it is not even a framework or engine, but rather a pattern of how to use the concurrency primitives in the Go language to build a dataflow network which also becomes an implicit workflow scheduler.
This means that there is not an aweful lot of code, and since it is mostly just Go language primitives it will fit in nicely with basically anything else. Great orthogonality you could say. That is, as long as you can accept to read and write on Go channels or write wrapper that does that for you. But who wouldn't?
It is a bit rough yet but we are just starting work on putting it in production later this month, so things should improve fast.
The challenge is to make money from open source. But so far we are successful :)
It's cool because it works across accounts and across regions, which their API doesn't do, and it adds new information like cost, so you can do stuff like 'select instance_id, monthly_cost from ec2.instances order by monthly_cost desc'.

Oh and we had to make a bunch of tools to make this work, since we're building it all on AWS Lambda, so there's these too:
It's a simple way to send any document (form, letter, receipt, invoice, tax document) via USPS mail, right from your browser.
We built it because we're too lazy to go to the post office at times, and we've since realized that most documents sent in the mail begin as a PDF on a computer, so now we're working on bringing down the cost (currently we have to pay both Lob and stripe for every mailing, which means lots of fixed costs).
Our next step will be enabling you to automate sending physical mail, the same way you can automate sending emails (for invoices, thank you notes, receipts, mailers etc, which lots of small businesses still use)
You can use the promo code "LIFEHACKER" to get 20% off. Would love your feedback!
It's called Logocaster - https://logocaster.com
Logocaster is meant to help you explore a huge universe of logo designs when brainstorming your brand/logo. It makes it quite easy to scan a bunch of style/font/palette options and then "drill down" and see designs which only incorporate the features you like.
Right now it's a playground for testing out fonts, colors and a few logo styles. I'm planning on incorporating graphics from the Noun Project and giving a bit more of a rich experience around tweaking a specific design.
You can explore the functionality without registering, and save/download your favorites as SVG if you do register (edit: for free, at least until I've incorporated Stripe).
I'm looking for any feedback on the direction the project is headed, or interesting use cases where the API that powers this whole thing could be put to use, cheers!
Sequiturs is a platform for rigorous and civil discussion. Discussion revolves around arguments, which consist of a series of premises and conclusions. This argument format requires coherence, which improves the quality of the views asserted, and makes it easier to identify where one might disagree.
Right now everything is open source, but I've started work on a replacement user interface which would be temporarily released under a proprietary license. I think the project is awesome as understanding workflow in a complicated application is a challenging task and at some stage all work will be released back to the open source version.
The table uses break beam sensors, an Arduino, and a Raspberry Pi to send score events to Node-RED instance running in Bluemix. A StrongLoop server in Bluemix acts as the app server, and a Cordova/AngularJS app allows users to identify themselves as the game players, follow the leaderboard, and monitor game scores remotely.
We're using this to get better acquainted with various technologies so that we can make the right decisions for our project work.
There's a quick walkthrough video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFG8fpYkDxA
Every project includes a notebook alongside your manuscript, where you can organize all your character notes, plot outlines, etc. It's especially great for scifi or fantasy authors who do a lot of world-building.
Everything is stored in the cloud and synchronized between devices, and we keep a version history of all your edits, so that you never lose any of your work (even if you change your mind).
It keeps track of your daily word-count, so that you can set daily writing goals and stay motivated, and it lets you export your writing projects to HTML for publication (epub & kindle export are coming soon).

MonadSharp: https://github.com/RixianOpenTech/MonadSharp
This is an idea in progress, but the idea is that by using the observable pattern (ReactiveX implementation) you can describe a sort of 'meta' program that breaks down function boundaries to automatically run your code in parallel. Here is my initial paper describing the idea: http://rixianopentech.github.io/MonadSharp/Documents/Computa...
It's a personal photojournalism project to learn more about different occupations and the people who work in them.
"We spend about 30% of our waking adult lives working. During that time, many of us experience only a small fraction of the available varieties of work. We may have some understanding of the occupations held by our friends, family, and coworkers. Outside of this subset of jobs, we likely have little insight into the work lives of millions of other people.
Why do we work? How did we choose our occupations? Are we happy with our jobs? I created The Work Explorer to answer questions like these through interviews and photos. I hope to find interesting stories, jobs, and people along the way."
But making informed capacity planning decisions involves repeated cycles of defining, collecting and interpreting load testing campaigns until you get actionable results.
That's exactly where we can help: Stacktical uses predictive technologies to generate a scalability report of your infrastucture within seconds, using just a dozen load testing metrics.
We're currently in beta, and our penny-pinching startups and DevOps love it so far! We still have a couple seats left if you're interested.
http://rsync.net/products/attic.html
This is awesome because attic (and the more polished successor, borg) is quickly becoming the new de facto standard for remote, encrypted, you-hold-the-keys backup:
https://www.stavros.io/posts/holy-grail-backups/
Best of all, we provide these remote server-side functions on our cloud platform without adding any new attack surface or complications to our platform: there is still no python interpreter on our platform.
One thing about this: everything will be Open Source. Obviously all of the "back end stuff" (Spark, SystemML, TensorFlow, etc.) is already open source, but even our provisioning code and API's will be OSS as well. The idea is to put the customer in control. So if you don't like our service, or decide you can do it cheaper running your own hardware on premises, whatever, you can deploy the entire stack yourself.
There's nothing at the URL right now but a (very) primitive landing page, but if any of you guys want to take a look, here ya go:
Everything is hidden behind a (temporary) login page right now, since this isn't really public yet. The login is 'user123' with password 'realitybomb40'
Also, ignore the video that's there, it's a placeholder to mark out where our explainer video will go when it's recorded.
We plan to eventually offer both "pre canned" routines that you can use out of the box as well as the ability to deploy your own models. There a lot of other stuff on the roadmap as well, but it's probably too early to talk about any of it just yet.
A heart-rate monitor for ecommerce conversion rate.
Most small-to-mid size ecommerce companies throw up their hands in frustration trying to use Google Analytics.
Bassoon rescues them by slicing off their most important metric (conversion rate) and emailing it to them every day, or alerting them when conversion rate drops suddenly for any reason.
We integrate with Shopify and Magento, making it one-click easy for merchants to get started.
https://github.com/shuber/owners - Take ownership of your code! Knowing who owns a project or section of a code base is very helpful when asking questions or requesting feedback. This gem allows developers to define OWNERS files throughout their repository to provide a human and machine readable way to determine who the maintainers are for specific files of code.
https://github.com/shuber/monolith - Generate a monolithic repository for a set of git repositories!
https://github.com/shuber/tmux-git - Display git information in your TMUX status lines! Plays real nicely with vim-promiscuous.
https://github.com/shuber/vim-promiscuous - Instant context switching built on git and vim sessions! It basically takes a snapshot of the following and let's you rollback to previous states:
- All of your vim tabs, buffers, splits, and folds along with their sizes and positions
- The location of your cursor for each buffer
- The actively selected tab/buffer
- Your undo history (each branch's undo history is saved separately)
- Your git stage with all tracked/untracked files and staged/unstaged hunks
We wanted to make a website where people could give back to charity without having to make a direct financial contribution. So we are using sponsored content to see if people can find something they want to read, and support good causes in this manner. Our end goal will probably not involve using links from Outbrain, or Taboola, unlike our current product.
Feedback would be appreciated!
Weather forecasts generated using sensors in smartphones.
We use both crowdsourced reports of the current weather conditions and barometric pressure data from iPhones to create more accurate and local weather forecasts.
My goal is to make it the world's #1 website for users and fans of agricultural equipment.
Here are a couple of screenshots of the new version: http://www.tractorfan.nl/topic/90241/
This is the best project I have ever done because I have the chance to do everything better. I now have the time to read up on best practices, new technologies and am not afraid to throw away a couple of days of design or coding work. Best decision I ever made (so far).
A JS library for the mobile web. Originally a fork of famo.us, where I was Chief Architect.
Check it out if you're interested in bringing complex 60fps animation, physics, gestures and 3D rendering to a website.
It's awesome because, you can push UI on the web further without sacrificing on performance. Moreover, it sets a path to decentralize apps. No app stores, distribute your app with a link. No install/uninstall. Index apps with pagerank. Deep linking for free. App updates on refresh. Etc etc.
It's an open-source tool for computer-aided design, with a graph-based design flow and pervasive Python scripting.
Currently it's a "pingdom for ports", and emails you if a new port opens up on your server. I'm working on making it a fuzzer for basic web vulnerabilities that automatically scans your site on deployment. Basically, ScriptCat will be your script kiddie in the cloud.
We're focused on entities that manage 20-100+ networks representing retail, restaurants, hotels, chains, public spaces, etc.
These networks also need protection, and can benefit from centralized management that a cloud-based solution brings over on-premise boxes. Our biggest competitor is OpenDNS, but especially since being acquired by Cisco, they're focused on the enterprise, pricing these users out of the solution.
We're utilizing a small subset of cloud providers who can support our BGP anycast network (12 POPs next week!), and have built out amazing infrastructure, an easy-to-use management interface with the stats these providers need, comprehensive categorized domains and up-to-date threat sources. We're in private beta right now and negotiating partnerships in the space.
High quality screencasts that teach open source technologies. Instead of having blogposts where you blindly copy/paste and pray it works, this aims to really teach you how it works and show the why of each configuration, instead of just the how.
Its a text editor being written in python. Its based on the case study discussed in the GOF book. Still a work in progress.
If you do give it a try. It needs python 2.7 and pygame( for rendering text... will be targeting other graphics libraries in future).
Press F1 for one column formatting and F2 for two column.
Control + b toggles bold ( its buggy ). Its awesome because it is teaching me design. Will write one in java and c++ in future.
A set of email extensions that make it possible to run a PKI over SMTP, making email privacy easy to achieve.
And, besides the extra privacy, the PKI needed shared data and access control, what led me to create a DAV-like system, that lets you grant other people permission for querying your maildir (ok, not really a maildir, but very alike), and let you do stuff like let a group of people work on a document you hold on your email.
I just recently launched an iOS app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hackerweb/id1084209377?mt=8 in conjunction of the web app. It's my first ever iOS app and is built with React Native.
I've also written a post on my journey in building the app: http://cheeaun.com/blog/2016/03/building-hackerweb-ios/
Here's a video preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3xDf67mjQw
Interactive music discovery. Amplitude tries to get a feel for your current mood and then gives you a 30 song playlist that you can save to Spotify.
Spotify's discover weekly is great, but you only get one playlist a week. The radios are a great idea, but I found them to far to repetitive and playing very mainstream music I'v already heard. Amplitude sits somewhere in the middle.
Started as a collaborative email client, but expanding to offer chat and general team communication features. Your inbox already acts as a todo list, so it’s the best foundation to build a powerful and unified collaboration platform. We’ll ultimately become your one true todo list. One that gathers tasks from all channels: email, chat, etc. This pretty much makes us competitors to email clients, Slack, Basecamp, help desks, CRMs… name it. Big ambitions! ;)

I ported parts of the gnarly old Windows Live Writer / Open Live Writer codebase to the Windows 10 UWP platform. WLW now available on mobile essentially. Adding features almost every week.
No, we're not a startup (but our team/group is run like one). Also, submarines!
Restaurants pay way too much for bad online ordering systems. Menucamp is a simple, inexpensive system that gets the job done.
A self hosted, distributed, secure communication "protocol" (server/app) for exchanging messages. Think of it like a distributed, platform agnostic, self-hosted iMessage. MMXP differs from email and other chat systems by encrypting both the message and the metadata. Messages are encrypted and signed using user public keys for verification. The server and application components are open source for transparency.
And we are releasing a developer API later this month :)
Friendship Bracelets that teach kids how to code. Currently working on the firmware for our production bracelets, and then will be working on the Arduino API and bootloader to allow our Jewelbots to run Arduino based code.
Not really ready to share the URL yet, things are still coming together.
I recently posted three different articles on medium explaining my thought process but I would like to mention one article here.

To summarise, ReadBoard lets you (the readers) own your conversations on the Web.
And when I say “owning a conversation”, that means…
1. I, as a reader, will decide on which part of the article I want to start a conversation and with whom. 2. I, as a reader, want all my conversations at one place. 3. I, as a reader, want to know what others are discussing on the same article.
ReadBoard is still in private beta but if this thinking intrigues you, here is a special link to sign up for all HackerNews users.

I would really appreciate your thoughts on this. You can help me build a better product or stop me from making a product, which nobody wants!
Opening up doctor data. Building a massive doctor database, first US, then internationally. Building out new search tools never seen before: eg, search by publications, awards, or fellowships.

So far, I'm able to get the box working, get the database up and get everything running, and a basic XHP based layout, but the actual application barely exists. I do not guarantee the quality of anything since this project is still just days old but here is a repo[0] if anyone wants to take a look. It's awesome because I personally think it's awesome, or at least likely to be awesome in the future. You are welcome and, knowing HN, likely to disagree.
I'm also... three months into my first one game a month project[1]. It started as a Berzerk clone but will probably end up being some bog standard shooter. I recently got state machines and a quadtree working.
My first episode was an in-person interview with Jason Fried, and was a real honor. He just spews brilliance – very easy to interview: http://kadavy.net/blog/posts/jason-fried-basecamp/
Another popular interview is with a neuroscience who studies insightful thinking: http://kadavy.net/blog/posts/love-your-work-episode-8-creati...
This is a side project of mine and has been for a few years. It is very gratifying to get emails from random users telling me how much they love the app (and asking for additional features). Just a couple of weeks ago I added an important feature: the ability to securely share FIX logs.
I'm pretty proud of the fact that the interface is pretty simple, yet hides lots of functionality the users probably don't even notice. For example, the logs you paste can be surrounded by other garbage, such as timestamps or log4j noise and the correct message will still be extracted. It will guess delimiters. Users can drag and drop a file on to the text field. Click on a message (very subtly) highlights related messages. I'm sure I'm forgetting many more.
There is plenty (plenty!) more I could add. Just a small matter of having no time :)
(quick demo here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFRPAAj1ijc)
It is awesome because it will make load test script creation/maintenance just like anything else. It will also be the first "opinionated" load testing tool.

Open source hardware for communicating on CAN buses, which are the main network used in today's automotive systems. Hardware has been around for about a year, but I'm currently working on new open source software for visualizing and communicating on CAN buses. Hoping to demystify automotive electronics and make them more accessible!
Personal - My girlfriend and I recently had a baby - Lauren turned 48 hours old at 01:15 local time this morning. When I'm not at work, I am changing diapers, holding the most incredibly cool thing I have ever helped create, and feeling the most incredible awe that I have ever experienced.
A downloadable self hosted version of searchcode. I had gotten a lot of requests for something like this and after getting a largish mailing list went ahead and implemented. Slow uptake right now but hopefully in time and with improvements will become more useful for more people.

I saw pieces of this work at Microsoft when I took an early version of my product and customized for specific teams. I've created the ability to do the customization without any programming, except for the SQL Server menu options.
Trying to googlize personal and enterprise knowledge (i.e. making it as easy to find as with google on the web). IOW, trying to eliminate the need to look for actionable information on your PC or company network using a single universal keyword driven information portal. The enterprise version uses a simple SQL Server "meta" database.
More info at my website: http://BrainDance.com
Have no marketing budget. Wife about to kill me. Can also publish MenuSets to cloud and have integrated cloud knowledge base about to go into beta. Yes the current version works with Azure database.
Let me know if you see any value or if you think this is stupid and why.
Our son was born about a month ago and after tracking some feeding, peeing, pooping and sleeping data manually, I decided to write my own tool. This project is using Firebase to store data.
I think that Devops is too hard and it shouldn't be. IMHO the main reason it's happening is that there are many tools and no framework to consolidate them, and a lot of the "cookbooks" or "recipes" out there are missing a production-ready bullet proof version.
The way I try to solve it with the-startup-stack is to bring all the tools under one roof with an easy step-by-step way to get your stack bootstrapped.
You can get started with terraform, chef-server and mesos in minutes.
It's still in very early stages of development.
I am trying to post weekly reports on my blog. Here's the latest: http://avi.io/blog/2016/03/02/the-startup-stack-progress-rep...
The last hope to save mankind from civilizational collapse brought on by The Javascript Complexity Singularity.
Record the screen of every visitor to your website. Helps you see exactly what users are doing and understand where they're having trouble. Works on every website including Angular, React, AJAX, and private user pages.
Syndient is a way to aggregate, curate, and share RSS / Atom feeds with a wider community. Users create Digests (collections of RSS / Atom feeds and keywords) and Syndient scans and tags content automatically. Digests can be public or private and ultimately be used as Atom feeds themselves. Additionally, Syndient provides thumbnails and descriptions of the links and displays them in a simple and familiar UI. You can try it without creating an account at https://syndient.com/find/.
Thanks for reading!
It is awesome because it gives,you more power than AWS Lambda and because you have a sane way to manage it via effe-tool (http://github.com/siscia/effe-tool), also it is written in go which should make it faster than competitor...
A JSON document store built on PostgreSQL's jsonb columns.
These days I have client libraries done for Python, Clojure and NodeJS, so I've been focusing on getting deb packages ready and gearing up for a 1.0 release.
It is in early beta version. UI have few issues but it is working.
We will create a 3d model from your uploaded head shot and you can try different clothing on it.
Written entirely in C, except for the front-end. Took 18 months. Didn't know C before and was a hack programmer. Just released a major update yesterday.
The crawler, parser, and indexer can process over 250,000 web pages per minute on commodity hardware and a gigabit connection. The parser is unlike any other I've seen, in that it parsers a document into about 200 sections.
This allows you to search for very specific things like "web pages that mention Donald Trump in the comments, where Bernie Sanders is mentioned in the main article, and there are Adsense ads on the page."

Scoper is awesome because instead of watching a random stream, you can request one anywhere, for whatever reason.
An example use case would be if you were going to be moving to a new city that's far away. Instead of making a deposit for an apartment based on pics you find online, you could send a request on Scoper to someone nearby the area you want to move to, get a live interactive stream, where you can talk back and forth with streamer.
Also, Scoper is launching at SXSW: http://www.sxsw.com/interactive/awards/releaseit-at-sxsw

We create integrated hardware, software, and user interfaces that examine your eye movements to figure out your intent and allow you to control computers hands-free, using only your eyes.
It's clear that eye tracking is going to be a key feature of future VR headsets. The only question is whether it will be introduced in generation 2 or 3.
AirLoop is a fully customizable digital loyalty platform that provides the tools you need to optimize and enhance your customer engagement, to create repeat business and increase revenue.
We are on a mission to change the way our merchant partners think about customer loyalty and customer engagement. We help you understand and influence your customers, and help you turn every single customer interaction into an enduring relationship.
We believe that small businesses should be able to capture customer data without breaking the bank. Our loyalty program is completely free -- all you need is an iPad (Android coming soon), download our app, configure your rewards and off your go.
[iOS + Android] Tally counter mobile app with timelines, graphs and averages. Count/track anything and see how you're doing over time. You can even export your data to CSV.
There is no single solution that integrates warehousing, inventory control, order management, customer relations, email ticketing, shipping, and channels management.
The goal is to build a system that is fast, accurate, and minimizes mouse-clicks. Most other solutions I've worked with and evaluated were slow, couldn't properly -1, and were a UI maze.
This system is awesome because it simply does not exist anywhere (Odoo is the closest approximation), it is targeted to small and medium businesses, and it has infinite customization in mind. Last but certainly not least, it is FLOSS, and I plan to offer off-contract support for the open source users.
Interactive diagrams for the web, built with HTML Canvas (and export to SVG). Very customizable with a big foundation of node/link logic, undo/redo, data-binding, and much more.
No URL yet (it's on github but not fit for human consumption yet), but you can see progress on my twitter: https://twitter.com/joeld42
When it's done (next week or so) I'll write up a full blog post.
You can find other projects I've worked on (like tk_objfile) on my website http://www.tapnik.com, there's a mailing list signup thinggy at the bottom if you want to get updates when I release things.
Right now, I've built an HTTP honeypot.
The idea is that if anything ever talks to these services you have an instant alert you NEED to respond to and actionable information about it. I have support for sending you a text message.
It has support for whitelisting certain IPs that you would be doing your scanning from, and post all information to a second URL for logging, as well as a lightweight dashboard to view logs generated by the binaries and more. Next up I need to build an SSH honeypot, FTP, etc.
Collecting data and metrics for all domains, with API.
Also the website builder N.nu, http://n.nu/

I posted this as a "Show HN" a few months ago. It's awesome because for the vast majority of commercial games, there is no way to customize the art, since the Developer doesn't provide an end-user art pipeline. There are older programs that allow texture customization, but as far as I know, ModelMod is the first program that lets you snapshot models, edit them, and the reload the edited version in game.
Currently I'm working on CoreCLR support (a lot of the code is F#) and experimenting with pixel shader transplants.
I just posted a demo video yesterday of Swift development for Android. I think this could be the very first video of a (cross-platform) Swift program running on Android. https://youtu.be/w6FY_qSi8yY

I'm working on a platform backing the existing desktop app for users to create, share, and explore lightroom presets - kinda like a package manager for photography presets.
The Flux overview video seemed convincing. It's a web app architecture that lets you ask "How did my app get into this state?" and always have a straightforward path to an answer. It turns out Mithril fits the architecture as well or better than React does, and for me mobile-friendliness is important so I really like Mithril's size.
My Hello World Flux-Mithril app's source is at https://github.com/brlewis/brlewis.github.io/blob/master/201...
Taskforce makes life easier for people who need to get real work done directly from Gmail. It's a Chrome extension that lets you add notes to emails, convert emails into to-dos, and schedule emails for later, all without leaving your inbox. It makes email triage a breeze, and saves you from forgetting to handle to important emails from clients, customers, etc.
I've been working on this as a side project for the past year, but it started life as a YC company back in 2011, so some people have been using it for over 5 years now!
We have videos on how to apply clean coding principles. I'm really hopeful that every coder learns these principles and how to apply them, because when more people write clean code, everyone benefits. Plus Bob is just hilarious. I'm really enjoying working on it because it's a pure-Clojure backend. We have in only 80 lines of code a Clojure -> CSS generator that replaced Sass and Less for us. Stuff like that just makes me really love this job.
Super simple form processing that starts attacking spam the moment a user (or bot) hits your page. Captchas, no matter how "smart" are no longer necessary with Hook Forms.
Just generate a form, copy the id into your own <form> tag, embed the JS and it starts working.
See all form submissions in one place, and have people emailed any time a form submission passes our crazy spam checks.
We're in beta for a very short time and almost going live, so TRY IT FOR FREE and let us know what you think!
Thanks YC :D
Still a work in progress but with Scat you will be able to use Slack commands to create and manage issues. The command will respond with a bot to list out issues based on the initial prompt. The goal is to have nearly everything related to an issue built into Slack commands and off load some of the editing to a lightweight web UI.
I'm sure something like this already exists but it has been a blast so far playing around with the Slack API.
Record a process on Linux and save an exact copy of the program's execution; replay it later on a different machine, and step backwards and forwards through the recording at the source level to figure out where it went wrong.
There are a few main things that make this possible:
- lightweight copy-on-write process snapshots
- re-executing (rather than recording) code we know to be deterministic
- a lot of time spent on handling corner cases to create a mature product
Snapzu innovates on all the things that Reddit is lacking, such as:
1. Your home feed provides all raw/live posts and activity from tribes you join, people you follow, and/or posts you save. This is similar to how twitter does it.
2. You can post links and content into more than one tribe (community) at a time which helps keep 're-posts' at a minimum.
3. You can post images without using a 3rd party service like Imgur, and you can embed Youtube and Vimeo videos directly.
4. Instead of link/comment karma (yes, of the "karmawhoring" variety), you earn Experience Points (XP) for participation used for leveling up your profile, and Reputation, a percentage score based on how other users vote on your posts.
5. All members can contribute to your posts by adding "related links", which add value to the post and are voted on by other members, just like comments.
6. Each member has a limit on how many tribes (communities) they can operate, based on XP level reached. No "power mods" here.
7. A Partnership Referral Program (http://snapzu.com/referralprogram) provides additional tools and incentives to help you grow your tribes (if you have a blog, website, forum, or other social influence)
With Toolwatch you can measure your watches for free and see how they compete versus other measured watches !
I've been using it for batch data transformation tasks at Embedly. It's still early and things can still change, but it's starting to stabilize. Tell me what you think about the gross abuse of the __or__ operator. I love it, but if I'm alone, I can remove it, or at least remove it from example code.
It's one of those cool mechanical displays that were common in train/airport terminals before digital signage took over.
Demo video of my prototype so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bslkflVv-Hw
Things that make it so awesome: it is open-source, real-time, fully distributed, and offline-first. It's also highly modular and easy to use, so our community is growing, which of course makes it even more awesome!
Secure, secret ballot, fully auditable, universally verifiable electronic elections. It has been used twice in the Spanish parliament, it scales up to millions of votes per election etc.
It's quite interesting if you are security oriented. Of course nothing is 100% secure, but the problem probably won't be on the server side, which is fully verifiable.
I talk about how I make money writing online. It helps give ordinary people a leg up on developing portable income that pays decently so that "the little people" can benefit from new realities of the modern economy instead of being victims of it.
Static site generator that you manage from the browser. Currently publishes to S3 or a zip file. No help from servers.
The load time is currently slow because I am pushing unminified code and all the transpiling happens in the browser. With JSPM I can hot load applications but sadly github doesn't allow cross origin requests.
These are largely coded in Processing and leverage the Minim audio library. I'm doing this for several reasons: To get used to showing my work to other people (vulnerability) and to be able to mentally move on from a piece that I've finished so I can be more prolific.
Written in VHDL, running a simple DOS like "OS" based on Lua. GCC cross compiler on Linux for writing demos/games and other fantastic software, for the Amiga killer of yesteryear :)
Hopefully with a 3D printed case and open source plans, everyone can build one in a few years :)
Protoship converts designs into code and generates full-blown web application front-ends. HTML, CSS, SASS, React, the works. And not the typical auto-generated crap, but real clean code as good as what we'd painstakingly write ourselves. No absolute positioning; no mindless repetition of CSS; no slicing and dicing.
I used to write business software in old-school tech like Visual Basic, Clipper, and dBase, but have been building for the web for the past several years. If you have ever worked on one of these technologies, you'll remember how fast we could bang out database software and user-interfaces that gets stuff done, compared to the boilerplate of modern front-end development. The ever-shifting landscape, writing reams of HTML, CSS, DRY-ing up stuff with SASS mixins, wiring up React components and props and `import`s... The sheer tedium is mind-numbing to build even the simplest of applications.
We're excited because we think it can be fixed - https://protoship.io/story
An example use case would be an adult model creating a campaign with different reward tiers such as $5/mo and $10/mo. $5/mo subscribers would receive exclusive nude pictures whereas $10/mo subscribers would receive in addition nude or special kinky pictures.
Our mission is simple: "To empower creators in the adult industry with the freedom to pursue their passion". PledgeX is simply part of the movement that is seeing more and more of those in the adult industry becoming more independent and homegrown. And in a world where porn is thought of as free, we feel that there are those of us who will actually pay for high quality content.
We've just soft-launched but will be signing up our initial creators soon!
Programs looks cooler than text, and are easier to work with (once you learn it). Project current status is prototype under construction.
XoL is a programming language where code elements are designed icons. This makes code flow and meaning easier to read than text. I have put a lot of work to optimize the design as best as possible. The design shown in the page is an earlier version. The current design has been improved greatly. I don't want to reveal it until it is actually working. I find programs in xoL are beautiful and engaging to look at. And are easier to understand than text. The user interface is designed aiming to make writing and editing programs, easier than editing text.
The actual language has been designed specially to work well with the icon design. One key point is that xoL is statically typed. The type system aims for simplicity -it is very easy to use-. The types are represented with icons. This helps to make easier to understand the meaning of programs.
You can talk to me if interested in the project.
Our product itself pretty awesome (IMO) for a number of reasons: performance, flexibility, extensibility, easy of use (relative to other SCADA/HMI/Industrial Automation platforms), secure, highly connectable. We're one of the only companies (as far as I know) actually delivering real "Industrial IoT" (ugh, that term) solutions that are able to support the scale and scope that we do. There are definitely others attempting similar things, but not in such open and interconnected ways, and certainly nowhere near the same value. Our technology is pretty innovative, but just as innovative is our business transparency: We've done away with industry-standard artificial pricing schedules that relate to how many data points you have. The result has been adoption by many customers who simply couldn't afford to implement automation in the past.
Anyway, as a developer, I really like being a part of a platform that touches so many industries, in hugely varying ways. It's a fun challenge to build things that are easy to use, yet abstract, powerful and scalable.
Now that I have met my "sound like someone from marketing" quota for the year, I need to go wash it off with some code.
We're a Techstars Seattle '16 company. We're making it possible for anyone to embed gorgeous data visualizations in their apps or services for data they've already got.
Check it out! https://demos.reflect.io/explore/
http://amazon.com/Josh-Baxter-Levels-Gavin-Brown/dp/05457729...
The reviews so far have been great, saying that it's "Smartly paced and emotionally engaging" (https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/gavin-brown/josh-...) and from "an author who gets his audience and knows his games (http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-545-77294-5)."
A visual tool to create SPARQL queries and browse SPARQL endpoints. Plus a Linked Data search engine of all the resources available in SPARQL endpoints.
One more thing : queries created in the visual tool are, when relevant, displayed under each search result, and can be run upon it.
It's a 50K display that wraps two levels of a football stadium (the MCG in Melbourne, Australia). Everything can be rendered in real-time. Control is handled handled by an on-site operator, or can be handed over to an autonomous system that links into game stats feeds, umpire systems and a host of other triggers.
Content is generated at 60Hz and pushed to the physical displays at ~3600Hz to provide smooth visual during broadcast and during slow motion playback. Being ~1KM long and outside individual sections of the display can also have smoothed, real-time image adjustments adding to account for variation in environmental conditions (shadowing etc) and provide continuous visual quality across the full image.
It's a static website hosting service for making hosting jekyll/hugo/etc. sites way easier in terms of setup and updating. It's coming out of beta soon, but if you want to try it out sign up for the beta list and I'll let you in ASAP.
I have seen even large companies with big marketing budgets have difficulty getting eyeballs on their social content. Short lived sponsored ads fail them with lack of virality, personal touch and being expensive. Why not utilize employees’ social networks to spread the word. But, it’s painful to share company posts regularly. So, I created Advo.Ninja to make it extremely effortless to share content by ZERO-CLICK (auto posting) of company posts on multiple social networks instantly. Set up and forget! or choose to share every time.
This is proving to be a win-win situation - employees get to improve their thought leadership and help companies ace branding by their best advocates - employees!
Startups and mid-size companies are realizing the highest value with their small marketing teams spending just a few mins every week and proud employees sharing content.
An incredibly fast, real-time file sharing app. You drag and drop your files to the menu bar (in Mac) / system tray (in Windows) and a link is automatically copied to your clipboard, ready to be shared. If you're looking for a more personalized way of sharing, you can send the files via email directly from the app with advanced sharing options, such as, expire link after x number of days, views or downloads, or simply disable downloading for recipients.
The app comes with a slew of built-in tools, such as, capture and annotate screenshots, record screen, bookmark, compose notes, and record audio clips. You can upload "any content" from your clipboard using a simple hotkey.
We've built the product in such a way that we can offer the most advanced enterprise level file sharing features to professionals and small businesses at a very affordable price, while also making sharing dead-simple and easy!
I want this to be the swiss army knife for all your data analysis/grunt work. Key features are (1) work on small data set then repeat operation on the full dataset so you can work faster, (2) query by doing what you would do in Excel and (3) make loading and moving data super easy and fun to do!
It's a free, entirely manually curated, database of research organisations around the world with associated metadata and other linked IDs (wikidata/geonames/NUTS/crossref/fundref/ucas/ukprn...). Everything has a persistent ID so it doesn't matter if a university changes name.
It's awesome because this is the kind of thing you assume exists but actually doesn't, and is really quite hard to build yourself. If you want to aggregate data from multiple sources you need IDs. We built it because that's what we do and it's what we need. Then we released it CC-BY :)
It's not glamorous, but I think it's pretty important. It lets you analyse things far more easily than you would have been able to do before. I wrote a blogpost about pay in universities vs regional averages in the UK [0] and the analysis itself was really just a case of joining a few things together.
On the business side of things, we work with people to get their data cleaned up & linked to GRID as well as offering other bits with . Please do get in touch if you either want some help using it or just want to talk about these kinds of things :) i.calvert@digital-science.com
[0] https://www.digital-science.com/blog/tech/north-south-divide...
Edit - We're continually adding stuff, so get in touch if you think something is missing or incorrect, you can raise a ticket here: http://gridac.freshdesk.com
We tend to release once a month, so it might be a few weeks before you see the fix go out.
Please do this every month on HN!
Also, an updated version of a turn-based game engine, now with ES6 classes.
Smart image CDN. Process images on-the-fly, store and serve with CDN of your choice. No need to setup any imaging infrastructure (storage, processing and CDN delivery) for web/mobile apps.
Developers get started within 5 mins to signup, point us to where your original images are and replace the <img src=""> from your domain to the new origin you just created.
One of the features is to serve the right image format which can reduce image bandwidth on a page anywhere between 40% to 400%, or more.
What if you could build an API free of bugs on the first try? What if instead of using a laptop or a desktop, you could build a custom API from your smartphone? What if you could just build your API once and it could get faster automatically as implementations improve performance?
I believe all of the above is possible and manuscript is my attempt to bring this dream to life.
If this sounds awesome to you, help me build manuscript and let us change how we create APIs forever.
I need help on this project so anyone interested is welcome to create some issues and have some discussions. https://github.com/ArsalanDotMe/manuscript
Just launched this app. Daily round of cocktails curated by professional bartenders from around the world. Swipe right to save the ones you like and build you personal drink library and boozy shopping list. Share favorites via iMessage and Facebook Messenger.
It's a web application that generates the astrological interpretation of a person's chart using traditional astrology methods. I hope next week to start selling the Temperament analysis.
StateBook aggregates data from a wide variety of governmental and proprietary sources to provide a geovisual platform that companies use to decide where to launch businesses and create new jobs. We have great customers and are looking forward to addressing a broader market.
It's a simple game where I show you two images from Reddit (SFW of course) and ask you to guess which was more popular. I'm using the data from the site as part of my research into the dynamics on internet popularity.
It's awesome because it's showing that Reddit is a pretty random/fickle thing. In the first iteration of the experiment (we're on the second now), people couldn't really do much better than randomly guessing. If one image had 10,000 upvotes and the other 10, people could only guess the popular one about 55% of the time. I wrote up some quick results in this blogpost: https://medium.com/@gregstod/guess-the-karma-2-0-82a224a691f...
I'd very much appreciate it if you played the game and donated a few data points :-)
I use it myself since for my personal things I don't need a full fledged application like Nagios, I just want to get told if something like a hard drive fails. Right now there's plugins for checking systemd services, drives, IP address, sending data to/from other heartbeat instances (super janky), sending notices through pushbullet, dweet.io, blinkstick, and pulling URLs.
I believe that our greatest asset is time, so we have to learn how to manage it to grow day by day.
It's awesome because we're building a marketing automation platform that learns from customer preferences and behaviours to build a better customer experience.
It's awesome because it provides phishing simulation/training to everyone for free. Traditional solutions cost $$$$$, so gophish makes this type of training available to anyone regardless of security budget.
DashFlow is a simple cloud-based web app launcher enabling fast and one-click access to frequently used apps, websites, software, shortcuts and bookmarks.
Simply select all the popular apps you use, add any custom shortcuts, re-arrange and group the icons and set as your homepage!
With the growth of SaaS Apps and shift of software to become web-based, we want to build a better way to stay organised and productive.
A useful planned feature is the ability to automatically set the apps for all employees or users of the same domain name, saving the need for everyone to create bookmarks individually.
Note: the web-app is not ready yet but you can register for early access once we launch!
We're trying to give developers a better look at dev teams & answer their most common questions about dev process, benefits, who else works there, what it's great, etc -- before they apply.
I'm working on Cruiseable, a new platform for cruise discovery. It's awesome because it is the only service to grab all cruise line data, normalize it, use tagging criteria and provides the best cruise experience for you depending on preference (not just price/date dropdown).
It's still very much in early stages, with not a lot of features. The only action you can really take is to update your word count, which should refresh the charts and graphs and stats. I personally find it incredibly motivating, but if you're not a writer... then maybe it's not for you.
It's a simple configurator for generating a script that sets up a Tor node on your server. I hope that way people with who are less proficient in Tor and Linux can support the network.

The data is collected from currently six different bloodstock auctioneers in Europe and covers the years 2009 - 2015. Future plans include additional auctioneers around the globe.
The goal is to provide improved data analysis to the bloodstock industry. Starting with a simple Jekyll based website (barebones found under the gh-pages branch at the moment), reports will be written in RMarkdown, so R code can be included directly, then "knitted" with the knitr package to vanilla markdown.
It's awesome because I love horse racing and bloodstock. Combining a personal passion with my data analysis skills should hopefully mean a stellar service.
Monitors the status pages of cloud services and sends you alerts in Slack, email, SMS, web hook, etc. You can even query the status of a service via a slash command in slack:

...will tell you if GitHub is down.
Writing literate programs allows me to easily keep my code and documentation synchronized. I make a update in one place and generate my "README.md" and project files from that one document.
Here is a sample application that I wrote to demonstrate OIDC: https://github.com/jpf/okta-oidc-beta
And here is another sample application I wrote to demonstrate implementing SCIM: https://github.com/joelfranusic-okta/okta-scim-beta
(All of the files in both of those projects are generated from the README.org file)

I haven't sold any yet. I'm not sure whether I'm advertising it wrong, or if it's just not something people are interested in.
We are launching in a niche that has a need for constant supervision of a large number network devices but are often too small to justify the expense of hiring internally. (WISPs, if you're familiar with that) but we believe are services can be generally useful to a broader customer base.
We are still taking on beta customers at very reduced rates. Hit me up at the link above or at the email in my profile.
It's awesome because youtube is (intentionally) annoying, plus, it's nice to give back bugfix/feature patches when someone else (jwz) is kind enough to give their code to the public.
EDIT: Thanks detaro. Link removed. I didn't know it was an issue, and obviously, couldn't see it.
A modern version of Karel the robot with different programming methods (a Scratch-like interface, a function-based approach, or an OOP based approach) with support for either Python or Javascript. A combination of tutorial and documentation for a previous "stable" version can be found at http://reeborg.ca/docs/en (French and Korean versions also available). This is slow on-going work that started first in 2004 with a desktop program (rur-ple) used by many in formal settings to teach programming.
I've just recently launched a bartering website where users can exchange goods and services without using money. Users can create profiles listing out what they have to offer and what they may be looking to get in return, search other users, and leave reviews detailing their experiences with other users.
In todays economy, sometimes it can be difficult obtaining certain necessities in life, and ExchangeTree offers people an alternative platform from the financial system that is so deeply rooted in todays society.
I urge anyone interested to check it out and ask any questions you may have :)
Cheers Josh CTO of ExchangeTree
Oh and it's open source :) http://github.com/nylas/n1

Good for JSX projects transpiled using Babel
https://github.com/ganarajpr/gotofile-chrome
Its a set of 3 plugins ( chrome plugin, atom plugin and Babel plugin) that allow you to jump to the right JS file in your editor directly from chrome. I was thinking how would View Source look if it was implemented in this new world of Front End JS. . This should provide a more seamless experience of going from the Browser to your editor. Would love any feedback on the experience or any enhancement requests.

It's a tool for organizations to fight corruption their community. Our main deterrents are rating/ranking of public officials (think teachers & tax collectors), responsibly controlled crowdsourcing of corruption reports, and campaign pages to raise money and awareness to litigate a case or assist victims.

If you're reading this and you know about network security and/or I2P & onion server provisioning, leave a comment, I could use your help.
It is a side project I used to learn Go. The site is up, but it is not pretty to the eye yet. I am working on a new theme for the it.
This strategy is one-dimensional and fading; just ask Yelp. People need more than a 3-, 4-, or 5-star gesture before punching in their credit card and feeling good about it.
So I'm working on a new kind of "social proof as a service," currently live and integrated with Shopify. It's called Notify (https://apps.shopify.com/notify).
Notify shows recent orders as they occur on a storefront, compelling future visitors to make a purchase.
Allows newcomers to jump into the best parts of Clojurescript development, and lets those who understand Clojure{script} share their questions and examples.

Its a bit like Plex however you don’t need a server at home and not have to rely on your home upload speed.
Link to concept site: www.streamlyapp.com
We also have a way that you can scan the barcode of your DVD’s and we add it to your account to save upload.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated
A YouTube Drum Machine / Beat Prototyper / VJ Tool
I just noticed that pressing hotkeys (1-9) on a YT video at one point was really responsive, and you could play with them like on a drum machine. I also like how many YT videos look, when played next to each other. Now I'm thinking of a way of how to package that feeling into something less experimental, more consumable.
https://github.com/tbrooks8/Precipice
Precipice allows you to plug in a variety of metrics to collect result and latency information about tasks (http requests, runnables, writes to a socket, etc) that your application executes. You can pick mechanisms of back pressure (rate limiters, semaphores, circuit breakers, etc) that can pause execution depending on what your metrics indicate is going on.
There are no assumed threading or execution models.
So with the new growth, looking to add a bunch of cool new features, like iOS / Android library, ACH support, and once Braintree opens the necessary API, Braintree support.
My first (iOS, very simple) game. Got to learn Swift and some basic game dev principles - was fun (save for encountering this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/q/24223572/548170). Thanks for trying and please hit me with any feedback if you got it.
It's both a NoSQL and SQL database in the same place. Has the best of both worlds.
Speaks the MongoDB protocol, stores the data in PostgreSQL.
You no longer have to choose either Mongo or PostgreSQL: you can have both!
There is a lot of detail on this recent FLOSS Interview: https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/377?autostart=fa...
Futzing around with the operating system calls is the hardest part.
Video of older, ugly version with way more features: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/enterprisejazz/website/de...
Got started on it cause I own a mobile auto detailing company: SharpDetail.com
Some features it has:
* Route optimization
* Call routing and call recording
* Track missed calls vs answered calls
We've been hacking on hitting the sweet spot between the simplicity of Trello and the power of JIRA.
It integrates deeply with github & bitbucket, as well as slack/hipchat/irc, so you don’t have to spend a ton of time keeping the data in Cadence relevant or accurate. This bottom-up approach allows us to help map your development process and how work gets done on your team.
Sorry for the sparse page, we're slowly opening beta access to interested teams.
It has worked well in my experience when junior and even mid-level developers join a team, helping expose them not only to git best practices, but to the custom rules of their development team as well.

Nearley is fast, expressive, convenient, streamable, battle-tested, bootstrapped(!), has a "standard library", and has an error handling API. You specify grammars in BNF and compile it to a JS (node/browser-compatible) file.
Nearley also has fun tools like "output json.org-style railroad diagrams from my parser" and "use this parser as a fuzzer that creates strings that match the syntax".
I know this has been tried before and it will probably fail but I think the benefits are too plentiful to not try it.
I am also working on an example implementation: http://pennytoken-service.boosted.science/
We're making high-end fixed wing surveying drones with custom autopilot, the best RTK GPS that money can buy, an excellent camera (that we modify) and an excellent flight planning software. We're making the whole package in-house to keep the whole toolchain under our control, up until Agisoft Photoscan which we heavily script. Surveying engineers seem to love the system, and rely on it working perfectly every day!
Hopefully explained at the site "About" link and its links (if not let me know!): http://onemodel.org

It's a free tool for creating AWS architecture diagrams in an isometric style. You can snap together AWS services as if they were LEGO blocks. The latest development is that you can now scan an actual live environment and import your real resources.
Right now (when not reading HN...) I'm working on making the grid infinite, adding zoom & pan, so it becomes usable for really large architectures. It's a lot of fun.
We have built a platform to give front-end devs, designers and creative agencies a relief from the server management tasks.
Its an high tech alternative to old control panels like Plesk or CPanel.
We are coming with a newer, more finished version of control panel soon.
We always believed in user experience and that's what make any product tick.
And we are trying our best to focus on creating the UX that has never been achieved.

I build a digital signage platform based on the Raspberry PI. It started as an open source "for fun" project (https://github.com/dividuum/info-beamer) but has now evolved into the most powerful software to build animated, hardware accelerated visualizations on the PI. As using the software on its own can be complicated (if you're not a programmer) I built a complete SaaS around it (https://info-beamer.com/hosted) which allows you to get your first screen running in a few minutes without any knowledge of Lua, Linux or even the PI. The software running on the PI is written in C/Lua and uses OpenGL/OMX to do its hardware acceleration. The hosted service is built using Python and includes a complete readonly and custom built Linux distribution that runs on the PI. On top of that it's possible to control the hosted service using the API so you can build your own digital signage around the technology. It's so much fun developing on all different parts of the product that I'll never get bored.
My current side project is Vcardme. It's a service for hosting your contact information at a URL where it can be accessed or saved. Idea being you should put your Vcardme URL in your email sig.
For me, what really makes it awesome, is the iOS app that allows you to save Vcardme links to your iOS phone book and also subscribes you to updates for the contacts you saved. So your iOS Contacts would stay up to date, automagically.
https://github.com/TristanBurnside/Chocolate
An iOS framework where UI is designed in Interface Builder and all functionality is defined in blocks that are automatically run asynchronously on a background thread.
This allows developers to avoid creating massive view controllers by never creating any view controllers at all.
Still a WIP and TableViewControllers and most of the view controller lifecycle events are not yet supported.
Some of the better use cases include: * Keeping a developer journal (I see a few others here are working on something along those lines as well) * New parenting journal * Daily journaling
A database that you can use as a JSON document store or a graph database - or even both data models combined - within a single query.
Why it's awesome?
I can use one technology for so many different use cases, I'm not limited to one data model and can use a single query language that supports graph traversals and document JOINS.
It's designed to support modern microservice architectures and orchestration - e.g. via Mesosphere DCOS.
An API for programmatically monitoring the status pages of hundreds of web-based applications.
We're building an app to provide the first non-forum social network for pinball players.
- Score logging w/ image uploads
- Machine look-up w/ links to third-party resources
- Likes, comments, and following
- Score timelines, analytics, and leaderboards.
- Oauth integration of the world's leading pinball forum, Pinside
- Plenty of stuff in the works!
After 5 months of development, we're starting our v2.0.0 closed beta next week! http://www.pindigoapp.com
A very simple, quick movie rating app. Functional but not quite production ready.
Basically I wanted a list of every movie I've ever watched along with a quick star rating, and it was taking too long to go through the other sites or collect in a spreadsheet. I wanted something that I could browse through and very quickly say whether I've watched it.
It's not a startup, but I work on the performances like they are.
TMk: https://github.com/baguette/tmk
TMk is a replacement for UNIX `make` powered by Jim Tcl. It's awesome because it's very portable (written in ANSI C) and provides all the features you expect from `make` and then some: because it's backed by a fully-featured, general-purpose programming language, you can customize your build with procedures (functions, but in Tcl they can be made to behave much like Lisp macros), loops, conditionals, etc. You can even write a loop that generates new rules at (build script) runtime. It also has support for packages, where commonly-used procedures can be collected (for example, we have plans to provide a package to make writing TMakefiles for C projects more convenient, etc.). TMk was originally called TMake, but when we googled that we found at least two other projects already called "TMake", thus we renamed it "TMk", but it's still pronounced the same. As an added bonus, it's got some pretty good documentation, if I do say so myself.
Tiny7: https://github.com/baguette/tiny7
Tiny7 is a fork of TinyScheme that I'm updating to support the R7RS-small Scheme standard. It's implemented as a library that can be embedded into applications to provide Scheme as a scripting/extension/glue/configuration/... language, but it also comes with an (optional) REPL. It's awesome because it's tiny! The REPL weighs in at under 150KB when compiled with debugging information, and uses about 10KB of RAM on startup. The downside to being so tiny is that the speed situation isn't great (it's been bearable for my usage so far, but it won't be suitable for everything). However, I have plans to implement a bytecode compiler, which should speed it up a bit. It has virtually no documentation at the moment (outside of the outdated TinyScheme documentation), but I'm working on a comprehensive manual.
I've got plans for a few more projects, like a fork of dwm that uses Tiny7 for configuration, but I haven't started working on them in earnest yet.
There are other things I'm working on, too, but they're classified for the time being ;)
Still working on formatting/parsing more feeds, but works for many.
I spend nights/weekends working on Turtl (https://turtl.it) , an encrypted note-taking app (Evernote alternative).
An online writing tool aimed at authors who self-publish. It's awesome because of the database back which means you can store people / places / anything really and insert them into your document (think variable replacement / an IDE for writers). The one-click EPUB generation is also pretty sweet.
You can build your car online (colors & options) and set your price, and your customization gets distributed to all of our dealerships (LA only currently) and see who accepts it. Cuts down on the dealer sales funnel as well so it's a win-win on both sides!
Early access to the software is available through my "Rule of Nine" deal (and helps me keep the lights on while I finish this): https://gumroad.com/l/ruleofnine/ruleofnine
It has some very cool technology under the hood which, if we've done our job right, the user will never have to think about. :)
About a year ago, I finished my second novel, Oversight, about advertising, virtual reality, and terrorism. It got some recognition recently from Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly. It's awesome, if you accept a fairly flexible definition of the term. Mostly, it has affirmed that promoting books is as difficult as promoting apps.
I work for a screen printing and embroidery company and the software to run the business is absolutely horrible and bad business model, but the alternatives aren't that great. We're building it for ourselves, and are going to open it up to other companies and offer a modern efficient approach to manage your whole business.
A NodeJS/Mongo/Express framework kit
The idea is to bring back strong app/bundles namespacing for larger projects, while taking care of many of the boilerplate decisions for you. Everything is based on classes so thought it would be a smaller stepping stone for someone coming from PHP or C#
https://github.com/akavel/vfmd
with a (long-term) plan of writing a WYSIWYG desktop Markdown editor around it. A hobby project in spare time, so pacing is on and off.
Also much too many other hobby projects. But hey, that's what makes them hobby!
We're building a search engine for satellite parts. Sourcing satellite parts that meet your design requirements is really painful and leads to wasted man-hours and procurement errors. With the advent of the small-satellite industry and companies like Planet Labs, Spire, Skybox Imaging etc., there's an explosion of activity in the supplier market across the world.
We're aiming to be THE place to get accurate, up-to-date information about the state of the market. We're in the process of acquiring data by on-boarding suppliers. We strongly believe that the data wants to be free, so we're going to be offering an API so the data can be embedded in engineering, procurement and market analysis tools.
We are in the process of positioning ourselves within the exciting push to open-source the space industry. Given our expertise, we're focussed on building open-source spacecraft design tools, and satsearch is a vital asset for that. If you're interested in getting involved in building FOSS for the space industry, drop me an email.
As developers ourself we want to change the way we get better jobs in IT: eliminating unimportant details such as age, gender, skin color, etc and only focusing on what is really important and what makes one a professional.
It is awesome because it is rapidly becoming almost usable for simply tracking daily activities (think "Don't Break the Chain!") and will probably add a dash of microblogging soon. Since it is a one man spare-time project I am really glad about all the advice/feedback I can get.
I'm building the API for physical gifting.
Want to reward your best customers with chocolates, flowers, company swag, etc. but don't want the operational overhead?
Automate making a call to Melt's API and we'll handle the buying, customizing, and logistics.
The goal is to increase customer engagement, customer satisfaction, word-of-mouth growth and lifetime value.
Startups usually don't have much time or budget for testing, so we're improving the core technology to bring issue visibility to more businesses.
We manage writing tests/scenarios and customers get alerts, a dashboard, and optionally a public service-status page.

Got fed up with Dropbox creating conflicted copies of my keepass database, and decided there must be a better way. I expect the base KV store will be easy to use for other apps in the future as well.
I wanted to create a de-stressing website for myself.
Right now it's in the baby stage, long-term goals are to have full motion video and audio based on weather and time of day. But for now, baby steps.
I made this as a challenge to make a site that is as compressed as possible, and mobile responsive so anyone in any browser can use it.
Very similar to Udemy but really focused on text-based courses instead of videos. The goal is to create a high-quality alternative to regular ad-supported courses and tutorials
Not available yet but will be launching to course teachers soon!

Online CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) program for helping people with stress / depression / anxiety. We've built these modules (videos, exercises, etc) & a community for everyone to interact and find ways to improve their mental health. Feel free to check it out.
It is based on the usda-sr database, and a lot of manual work was required to determine one serving size.
The people who use the site are mainly registered dietitians, but some power consumers have occasionally used it.

It's amorphous; just anything my roommate and I find useful for computers to automate. Latest feature is a way to share pictures and stories by email (with a way to unsubscribe).
It is an open source general-purpose feed reader (RSS/Atom). It attempts to be as fast and intuitive as possible, hiding complexity from the user as much as possible.
It's awesome because I get to work on fun technologies (MEAN stack), learn how to scale Node.js, and interact with a great community. Also, I have paying customers which makes it even better :)
Currently requires a physical keyboard to operate. Keyboard commands listed at https://github.com/markneub/redditq#navigation
redditq is an image browser for reddit. It features a minimal user interface and is designed to be controlled via keyboard shortcuts. This project was inspired by redditp[1], but I wanted to add support for image galleries and Flickr photo pages and experiment with a minimal UI. From a technical standpoint, I wanted practice using CommonJS modules for structuring my JavaScript, as well as using webpack for bundling static assets (including JS modules).
Why it's awesome: we're helping to maximize intellectual freedom in a world dominated by "smart" algorithms and "social" recommendations with old-fashioned serendipity.
Build web apps focused on user generated content, without coding.
- Register users - Create pages for user generated content. - Connect to Stripe.com for Subscriptions, Payments, Transactions fees, etc.
