This is a thread for posting anything cool or interesting you've done lately. I always love seeing what the HN community is up to!

http://flask.io for quick to do lists.

I hacked this together and just shipped it.

There are plenty of task management apps out there but you don't have to sign up or download anything to start using this one.

Lightweight and straightforward - I like it. Looks great on my iphone, but there seems to be a bug where whenever I check off an item, it moves the next item to the top and checks it as well.

zedzed2• 13 years ago

Very nice. You should check for empty entries though.. I can just hold down the enter key and cause a request flood.

Fork the Cookbook (http://forkthecookbook.com). It's kinda like github for recipes I guess (the vision for it is much greater: think tumblr + github + instapaper for recipes with ziplistish features)

The main project is coming soon :D

What's yours?

yolesaber2• 13 years ago

Wow, that is a seriously cool project and very useful. Bookmarked!

As for myself, I built an API to work with SeatGeek data (https://github.com/yolesaber/scalpyr) which I am using in tandem with another side project, ExploreMore (http://bit.ly/TRafpo).

I love the submissions so far.

Here is my latest side project: http://www.getkontxt.com. Think Rapportive for content and Stripe for the api. My thought was adding additional data to signup/contact forms to provide the users with additional context on the person. I would any feedback you guys have.

yolesaber2• 13 years ago

I've just started using Rapportive myself (thanks to a tip I received in an email, no less!) and it's so useful I'm surprised more hasn't been done with the concept. Looks cool. Any traction so far?

cschmitt2• 13 years ago

Thanks for the comment yolesaber.. I had the same reaction when I started using rapportive. Any additional information to help me decide if this person is legit or not would save time and money for new leads. I am kinda shocked there aren't more tools like that out in the wild.

No traction so far. I would love your thoughts on why you might think that is. Feel free to shoot me an email (chris@getkontxt.com) if you have any other thoughts, suggestions or just want to see what your sample report would look like.

Logical Increments (http://www.logicalincrements.com/) for helping people build gaming PCs. Low tech, but people seem to love it.

I love your website I book marked it, thank you for sharing

web2txt [1]. Its a simple API that allows you to send text messages from your app with a simple post. I made it to build an app for my wife because I did not want to pay for something like twilio (project too small to bother paying for it).

StreamClock (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=streamclock) It is an alarm clock that wakes you up with either a Last.fm radio station, or a Spotify track. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the v1.1 update, which will include Google Music, volume controls and a few other things. Feedback would be great!

Issue Tracker: A basic bug reporting/tracking application written in PHP and Javascript. It is currently about 70% completed but time has run short on me. If anyone wants to contribute to it I wouldn't object. http://bit.ly/XWgQw2

revorad• 13 years ago

This is a bit meta, but I built http://swym.me/ a while ago for people to share what they make.

https://routebop.com and http://geoflickr.jit.su are basic sites I've put together.

Nothing too ground-breaking but great for helping me to learn. Full code is on Github also.

TuneCrawl [1]. Simply put, TuneCrawl is a lightning fast way to stream any song on the most popular music streaming websites.

Still a lot of features I would like to implement, but I'm proud of it so far!

My biggest project right now is scrit . It is a school reviews website. And it is only a week old. So I don't have much content yet but I'm working on it. Feel free to come by and drop a review for the school you attended, or you can give me suggestions here.

http://s-crit.com

rI also have another side project that may come up in a week or two, its a xkcd with some added features check it out in a week or two for updates

http://videorascal.com is a web app that enables anyone to create explainer and intro videos for the web. Just launched as a MVP a few weeks ago

markhall• 13 years ago

http://jobzey.com An easier way to find job opportunities through all of your social networks. Searching through LinkedIn and Facebook for friends who are career assets shouldn't be that hard. Now it isn't.

n3rdy• 13 years ago

Maybe a little ambitious, but a programming language optimized for A.I code generation, modification, and evolution.

Just planning at the moment, mostly trying to get the overall concept in my head before I write it down and put it on the wiki.

Will probably be years before I even get to coding anything.

If anyone is interested in helping me brainstorm though: https://github.com/OrganizedIntelligence/Jackal

Scratched an itch with Flixeye: http://flixeye.com

Just something silly I did in my spare time:

NoContextIpsum: http://www.nocontextipsum.com/

It generates lorem-ipsum style random text using quotes from Reddit's NoContext subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/nocontext/.

zedzed2• 13 years ago

A 'friendly' tutor listing directory (http://www.tutr.com.au) Note: Only works in Australia (Try suburbs: e.g. Collingwood, Leederville, Taringa, Newtown).

Nothing too special, just wanted to create a very user friendly site.
