Ask HN: So what Holiday Projects will you be working on this year?

11 points·quasistar··8 comments

Thinking of using D3 and Square's Cube project to visualize my holiday gifting graph in real-time ;)

I've been putting off writing a Mac App to publish on the app store. I finally have a concept I can get excited about and I have already started. It's been a learning experience but I'm taking notes that I can hopefully transform into a series of blog posts.

As for D3, I'm intrigued and really want to play with it, but I don't currently have a problem to which apply it :(

I'm wrapping up a D3 project as well. Grabbed some data from the US Govt (Foreign Aid over time) and have been playing with visualizations.

D3 is pretty cool :)

And just finished!

I'm completing a demo of my web-app to show off to incubators and seed investors. Mainly because a lot of applications for their Spring intakes open around February. Also because I've been in contact with a Toronto based incubator who is excited to see my app.

I'm glad to say it's been a good end of the year and that 2012 will be extremely busy for me (In a good way, I hope).

I'll be doing some consulting work to pay bills! While the test pack is running, I'm playing around with some document databases to see if I can finally grok the differences in the current crop. :)

I played a bit with d3 for some datalogging work I did for my (now broken, of course) race car. It took me a while to wrap my head around it, but I really enjoyed it once I got it.

I was going to work on eating some cookies.

It doesn't have a name yet, but it's a way to make your finances completely public, as helpful push to help you get out of debt.

A show of hands type of poll web-application. I'll keep it small enough to be finished in the next 2 days.
