Basically you follow people and ask them questions that they can only answer by voting for one of two alternatives. Each alternative is illustrated with a photo that you upload.
The vision is that whenever you want to compare something (for example Xbox One vs PS4), you create a "match" on Photoficient. Debating happens outside Photoficient. Photoficient is only about voting. So even if you post your match on multiple social networks (Twitter, Hacker News, Reddit, Facebook, Google+, etc) you would be able to see who voted for a particular alternative within the people and organizations you follow on Photoficient.
It's a Rails 4 app. The source is available on Github: https://github.com/frabrunelle/photoficient. Feel free to open an issue to request a feature or to describe a bug.
The majority of retail foreign exchange (Forex) traders trade using the MetaTrader 4 platform. Traders love marking up their charts with all manner of custom indicators. There is currently no straight forward way to view your desktop charts on your smart phone. Portal Charts solves this problem.

Its a specialized 'cloud in a box' type stack. Primary goal is to allow for scale applications that don't normally scale well inside a single machine, and scale them out until you hit the limits of your machine. Perfect examples are third party binary programs that assume you can only run one instance, or processes that need a lock on some kind of interface or file in order to function. I've had a few interested parties that want to see how it pans out.
Release... well i plan to demo it out in public for the first time while I'm at Pycon AU in Hobart (not a presenter just going to be there & showing anyone who's interested)

To overcome the performance problem have to eliminate the browser with a OpenGL Renderer which can render GUI generated using HTML, which i have started building, but still a long way to go.
This is came to fruition due to difficulties we encountered finding reviews and helpful research for choosing between a wide variety of CMS's in the past.
On a related note, I find myself reading and saying it more as "Noteography" than "Notegraphy". Not sure why..
