showhndailyon Ask HN: Projects that don't make you money but you're doing it out of sheer joy?

Created a simple Twitter bot back in 2013 that auto-tweets every post marked "Show HN". Updated to HN API (Firebase) in 2014 or 2015.

Small claim to fame: Had a daily email newsletter for the first year or so. Ryan Hoover (Product Hunt) was on my initial subscriber list, before PH launched. Now if only I had just pivoted to feature new wow-ness for the world PH-style, hmmmm ...

showhndailyon Show HN: My open source, minimal CS Conference Tracker

We published a huge list of conferences at http://techconfs.co. List has not been updated yet for 2016 dates, but maybe you can find some new conferences of interest on the site.

showhndailyon Show HN: TechConfs.co – A master list of technology conferences

Here is a big starter list of tech conferences that was created in under 4 hours. Surprisingly, a simple quick view list just does not exist. The closest is Lanyrd (lanyrd.com) which requires lots of time to click & drill down to view info on just 1 conference at a time.

This list helps with: - I want to speak at or sponsor a conference. Help me find one. - What tech conferences will be in my hometown? - I want to learn "New Skill X". What conferences can I attend? - My company gives me a perk to travel & attend a conference. Hmmm, where should I go? - My team needs to learn more about "New Cool Thing Y". What conferences are coming up?

Technology: Basic HTML/CSS/Javascript with a Google spreadsheet to store data.

Welcome your feedback on (a) whether this is useful (b) any changes or suggestions.

And ... registered. Thanks for suggestion.

showhndailyon Show HN: Weekend Project, Clean stock charts for AAPL/GOOG/AMZN/IBM

Closing out the 2012 year with a mini-project that was always on my mind. Spent some time this weekend to scratch my own itch.

SITES

1. http://www.googlestockchart.com/

2. http://www.applestockchart.com/

3. http://www.amazonstockchart.com/

4. http://www.ibmstockchart.com/

GOAL: Watch my fave stock quotes in my browser while I am at work/play. Just wanted minimal chart and stock price ... that's it. Don't need the rocket science portal charts on Google Finance, Yahoo Finance, etc. just to watch stock price. I can visit those when I need number overload for in-depth research as needed. Inspiration from http://facebookstockvalue.com.

FEATURES

1. PHP and Morris.js charts for clean, minimal graphs.

2. Auto refresh every 30 seconds.

3. Page title updates with stock quote. Can have multiple browser tabs open and just peek over at the latest stock prices. (see http://imgur.com/uV1K5)

NOTES

1. May work on a central tool to show same clean graph for ANY stock symbol. Thinking of a good domain name ... hmmm.

2. Planning to add other graph timeframes (eg 3mo, 6mo, 12mo, YTD).

Goals: - Share a 'quick read' format for Show HN posts. HN is a great community, but it is difficult to filter through hundreds of posts every day. - Help others to get inspired to create. What is better motivation than to check out the neat ideas others have come up with! - Give a little extra love to the brave folks who build and ship for fun or profit.

Next Steps: - We started tracking metrics for Show HN and Ask HN posts on 10/1/12 (points + comments). - Will share the "Best of Show HN" and "Best of Ask HN" for October at end of month.
