An open source stream processing framework (https://ghostream.com) - it isn't really ready for the limelight yet, but you can find the code base on github (https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream) - final steps on the to do list are a few more example projects, a couple more functional operators and to polish up the documentation.
Honestly, part of it is motivation. I keep getting distracted with other things.
I expected it to go the 80-20 way, the initial ideas are not new ones, I have been building similar frameworks for a few years.
The time is mostly spent on the more difficult problems like "How should operators hang up when the program is closed?" " Should the program be expected to close?" "Should there be a global context object, or a default one" "Should an operator have a window by default or not"
There is no right answer, so its just a case of sucking it up and implementing something, seeing if it works, and going from there.
Plus the side escapades with earthquakes and space weather and irc channels - although implementing these little things does drive the bigger project.
I am hoping before the end of the year I can hit something I feel comfortable slapping "1.0" on and move onto something else for a while and use it as a base for working on some other ideas I have.
I'm making a social sharing application, dedicated to street food vendors, it's called tacotuyo.. very early in development still (about 20 hrs in)
http://tacotuyo-elninja.rhcloud.com
I'm making an online store in Rails for a specific target market (have to be vague). I'm building it mostly on my own and I'm looking for a second developer to help me out.
I am tired of repeating this again and again, so I am doing some yak shaving and creating a hosted rest service for managing user accounts and authentication. I will use it as basic infrastructure for future projects.
Rather than a hosted/solution - I would be think a program language specific (node/php/java) solution would be more useful. For example - something like $199 for lifetime use for account/oauth/etc system that you can use on any project. Maybe even have additional "packages" like invite friend, etc. Just a thought.
Scala tutorials (http://scalatutorials.com) - it's a "try scala code in your browser" (powered by scalakata.com) and has a basic tour at the moment, but I'm working on making it more like try ruby / codecademy, much more work than I thought by the way
Nice design and a great resource. Unicode is a complex beast, and making it easier to navigate and understand is a worthwhile goal, if only to improve how Joe Programmer deals with non-English text.
I'm interested in finding more about disk failures (HDDs and SSDs), possibly with an eye to create an advance warning system for increased chance of multiple failures in a RAID system or the imminent failure of a single disk.
I've just started a site that aggregates open public transit data feeds. It lets you quickly see differences between feed versions, discover new feeds, and I'm working on APIs to easily bring in better real time data into apps
Interesting - I'm working in this area too; more on the consumption of transit feeds - have noticed in the UK at least that there are a ton of T&Cs thrown around these feeds, do you think you have any issues repackaging like this?
It's definitely on the todo list to categorically make sure I'm complying with each feed. I think the biggest thing I'll need to change is perhaps to not allow download the zip of the most recent feed.
Currently CleverRun only works with RunKeeper. However,
RunKeeper should be able to pull Garmin stuff in, look at: http://runkeeper.com/apps/fit2app/47741 - Then CleverRun will be able to get that data from RunKeeper.
A columnar time series db with an lmdb backend - I have only just started and it us quite a struggle.
A map / tile server written in go. So far MapBox' mbtiles work.
This came from a peculiar interest of mine, whether my city needs yet another underground parking garage. So I started to scrape the public rss feed of the parking system. I have some gigs of data by now and RethinkDB is not as performant as I hoped it would be. There is no real query optimization as of yet.
What I want to visualize is whether you can find a parking spot at a certain point in time and reach a spot, for instance a shop, within a certain threshold by foot. In short, if you want to shop at XXX will you have trouble finding a parking spot?
This is really nice. I would love to have the option of displaying a galactic coordinate grid and other bearings, and perhaps labels on some notable stars.
I hate to be the guy who points this out, but heads up--you have an extra apostrophe in "its" on the front page. Normally I'd keep quiet, but since it's your headline...
Kitten, a programming language based on zero-cost abstractions (https://github.com/evincarofautumn/kitten). Competing in the same space as C++, Rust, and Nimrod. Statically typed, type-inferred, stack-based, higher-order, GC optional, with an effect system to manage side effects. Very much a work in progress, but you should stow it in your brain as a systems language to try in the future.
Cool map. Edmontonians don't generally like their city referred to as "Deadmonton". However, the nickname rings true on so many levels. Good luck with your move. Is it soon?
Thanks. Hmm the crime in your city is not that out of whack compared to the Canadian average. It actually made me feel safer about the city and will make house hunting easier.
The move shall be in about 10 months time. Am in the process of reviewing the different startups in the city currently. Are you involved in one?
I'm glad you're doing the research before taking the leap. There are lots of safe neighbourhoods and only a few I would avoid. Let me know if you have any questions about city.
Unfortunately, I'm not involved with any startups at the moment but would love to get involved with the right one (take a leap of my own). I moved back to this city about a year ago after being overseas for six years. I rushed the move due to family reasons and didn't properly set myself up in that regards. I have the right personality, but I'm not confident in my skills. I need to find a company where I can learn as well as contribute and flourish that way.
I hope you find something that suits you. Are you thinking of joining an existing startup or doing something on your own?
You need to press the play button in the top left corner. The data go as far back as last Friday. I will run an update to get new data at the end of this week again.
Yeah thanks, I am originally from Czech Rep. so I am more excited about hockey.
http://hamsterdb.com - a C++ key/value store. hamsterdb is AFAIK the only key/value store which supports typed keys (i.e. uint32, uint64, blobs). under the hood the btree optimizes the memory layout for this type, just like a column store DBMS does. I'm now moving slowly towards adding analytical functions, but it's still a long way to go.
A terminal emulator - https://github.com/hoeck/schirm - using a browser to render the screen, allowing programs to use HTML and Javascript as an alternative output (via a CGI like interface).
Deal Drop (and now Tech Drop) - iOS/Android shopping apps http://www.getdealdrop.com Been working on it for a few years. Nice side income but still trying to grow it to be my main income.
My pet project is the development of the concept of "mind map for programming" (mm4p). It is a mix between literate programming and visual programming with the capacity to work with text file and any programming language you want.
A personal automated email sender, using vars and conditional statements (Eg. Multiple languages are possible, we live in a country where most of them speak: french, dutch, german or english, so that's a big + over here).
Create a poll (or mail) and mail them to clients when you sold for > 1000 € should be an option :)
It's actually meant to get feedback (automated) from clients with a more personal touch or to follow up on a sale of 1 month ago (how the car is, ...)
A simple CSS/JS library recreating the Windows 8 Modal. Still working on tablet/mobile support (which im pretty sure is just a css style cursor: pointer;)
Another side project I'm currently in the process of designing:
Personal Problem: Me and my wife have some folders with so many random files. Too troublesome and time consuming maintaining it to be clean and organized. Pictures should be in a specific folder, installers in another one, etc. an example is the "Downloads Folder"
Solution:
A small command-line utility that organizes a folder on where it runs from. This small command-line tool has only one parameter: a JSON file that contains "Rules" on what it will do on specific files. ex: .mp3's should be placed on a folder, .docs on another, etc. And so on and so forth. It could also come as an "installable" service/daemon that watches over folders. Still learning more about Scala, it's used in where I work, may write this command-line tool in that language for educational purposes.
Yep exactly! I know that it could be done via bash or a batch file. I just wanted to solve this usual problem with a simple project that also allows me to learn more about Scala since it's used at where I work.
Docker replacement with emphasis on tool reusability. Docker made incremental builds right, and I love the idea. However, it reimplemented the whole tooling around it instead of using what's in there.
It will support FreeBSD/ZFS/Jails and Linux/LVM|BTRFS|ZFS/LXC on the first release. My goal is to re-use existing tooling as much as possible.
What I would like in something like that is the ability to push from outside an image to be used. Docker has push to a central location and then you need to pull from it which makes it harder for a small setup like mine.
A site for people to record their predictions, to say whether they agree or not with other people's predictions and later to see who was right.
Let's see who can predict the best what will happen in the world!
Great idea ! Plus, your site does have good success as far as I can see!
Appart from jQuery & bootstrap, what other technologies have you used to develop this site ?
Btw, is there a point system to reward people who predicts it right?
A UK based price and product tracking site (http://salr.io)
Almost there, but I've been working on it solo, and development stalled for a bit whilst I struggled with motivational issues and analysis paralysis. Hope to get something MVP-able very soon!
I'm working on a mobile/web app that lets users track their medication intake. It will use nfc tags that you tap each time you take the medication, so there's no risk of taking it more than the recommended number of times daily. It will also keep track of an side-effects you experience and prompt you to call the nearest pharmacy for refills. At the moment, I think I will target Android for the mobile app.
Computer algebra system that yields the steps it takes to produce a result. Mainly intended as an educational tool to help teach math. This is actually my first side project since I (re)learned to program a few months ago—everything I'm using to build this I learned at work.
I found http://printaura.com via Google when we first decided to wire the generator up to a t-shirt print service, then I saw a http://shirts.io post on HN and wired them up too!
When each order is placed, we go with the printer that gives us the largest margin. There is no bidding going on or anything, they just have different prices for different products and calculate shipping fees differently.
http://precis.gopagoda.com/ a threaded outbound-link aggregator. It needs a lot of work but i'm hoping to turn it into something cool. Currently incredibly slow because it's on a pagodabox free account and has no caching whatsoever. Also bootstrap and most of the buttons don't do anything still.

I just finished this weekend hack I really like.
https://github.com/garrettdreyfus/Libstripper
It's a handy (i think) command line tool to extract the code you actually use from css libraries like bootstrap.
Thank you for this. By the way, I found this topic to be a difficult one to google for. Is there a magic search string or term of art that I'm missing?
Currently, my main side-project is Pronto, quick automated code-review tool: https://github.com/mmozuras/pronto
Intend to make a SaaS from its current library form, at some point, also.
A mobile web app (https://treycent.com) that lets you create voice-enabled question answering sites by tagging internet or intranet content with spoken questions. After a while you end up with a private Siri: a site capable of answering questions relevant to your team. Also working on a companion Google Glass app.
I'm pretty sure I can make it even faster in Lisp, but just finished doing the SAS version and haven't gotten round to it. Don't know if its HN type material, but its cool to be done.
xtopdf, a toolkit for PDF creation from other input formats.
xtopdf supports many input formats, and more can be plugged in. Runs on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows (except for some platform-specific parts). Has a core library and CLI, GUI and web apps built using the library. Written in Python.
An open source stream processing framework (https://ghostream.com) - it isn't really ready for the limelight yet, but you can find the code base on github (https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream) - final steps on the to do list are a few more example projects, a couple more functional operators and to polish up the documentation.
It has hit the 80-20 scenario. The last 20% is taking 80% of the time :)But it has let me quickly prototype a few little ideas (http://jamielewis.me.uk/posts/2013-11-03-Mapping-Earthquakes...)
Slick. Aside from the issues listed in github, what is taking 80% of the time? Did you expect the 80-20 split?
Honestly, part of it is motivation. I keep getting distracted with other things.
I expected it to go the 80-20 way, the initial ideas are not new ones, I have been building similar frameworks for a few years.

Personal Problem: Me and my wife have some folders with so many random files. Too troublesome and time consuming maintaining it to be clean and organized. Pictures should be in a specific folder, installers in another one, etc. an example is the "Downloads Folder"
Solution: A small command-line utility that organizes a folder on where it runs from.

It could also come as an "installable" service/daemon that watches over folders. Still learning more about Scala, it's used in where I work, may write this command-line tool in that language for educational purposes.
A simple script (in linux, windows or whatever) could do that no problem. In fact, I'm pretty sure something like:
find -iname ".txt" -exec mv -v {} /home/user \;
or
mv .mp3 /whatever/folder/youd/like mv .jpg /repeat/as/many/times/as/needed
would work. Is this what you had in mind? Hope I'm not way off base here.

Interesting reading about all your projects. I'm working on http://muscula.com Log JavaSript errors in production. It installs like Google Analytics.
Will Muscula work on secure, logged-in pages?
Oh wait...I see that you do support https :-)
I'm working on a mobile/web app that lets users track their medication intake. It will use nfc tags that you tap each time you take the medication, so there's no risk of taking it more than the recommended number of times daily. It will also keep track of an side-effects you experience and prompt you to call the nearest pharmacy for refills. At the moment, I think I will target Android for the mobile app.
SassyStudio, provides much needed support for SCSS in Visual Studio.

Currently it supports compiling css (via libsass), syntax highlighting, outlining, and intellisense.
Computer algebra system that yields the steps it takes to produce a result. Mainly intended as an educational tool to help teach math. This is actually my first side project since I (re)learned to program a few months ago—everything I'm using to build this I learned at work.

Started as a joke among my dev team and we've now sold a few shirts and plan on developing the idea.
Curious: what tshirt merchant API is this built on?
I found http://printaura.com via Google when we first decided to wire the generator up to a t-shirt print service, then I saw a http://shirts.io post on HN and wired them up too!
When each order is placed, we go with the printer that gives us the largest margin. There is no bidding going on or anything, they just have different prices for different products and calculate shipping fees differently.
edit: linkify printers

http://precis.gopagoda.com/ a threaded outbound-link aggregator. It needs a lot of work but i'm hoping to turn it into something cool. Currently incredibly slow because it's on a pagodabox free account and has no caching whatsoever. Also bootstrap and most of the buttons don't do anything still.

I just started this web audio app to see if I could make something that translates well to tablet devices, and help me learn php. The server isn't hooked up but the front end works. http://helpknow.com/snd
I just finished this weekend hack I really like. https://github.com/garrettdreyfus/Libstripper It's a handy (i think) command line tool to extract the code you actually use from css libraries like bootstrap.
Not much compared to other comments here!
Thank you for this. By the way, I found this topic to be a difficult one to google for. Is there a magic search string or term of art that I'm missing?
If you mean something to strip css libraries, I wasn't able to find something equivalent on google. I also wasn't sure what to google for though.

Currently, my main side-project is Pronto, quick automated code-review tool: https://github.com/mmozuras/pronto Intend to make a SaaS from its current library form, at some point, also.
A couple of others on the back burner.
A mobile web app (https://treycent.com) that lets you create voice-enabled question answering sites by tagging internet or intranet content with spoken questions. After a while you end up with a private Siri: a site capable of answering questions relevant to your team. Also working on a companion Google Glass app.

Industrial size data linkage in SAS.
I'm pretty sure I can make it even faster in Lisp, but just finished doing the SAS version and haven't gotten round to it. Don't know if its HN type material, but its cool to be done.
