Ask HN: Show off your weekend project

19 points by qntty 10y ago

What's the coolest thing you've built in a single weekend? I find that the more weekends it takes me to finish a project, the less likely I am to finish it, so I'm interested in what people have managed to squeeze into a weekend. Links to the deployed project or code are appreciated!

I built a Pokemon Go map and anonymous chat over a weekend couple of months ago. I ended up hating the project because it kept getting rejected by Apple for a whole week and when it went through there were already ton of similar apps. Either way I released the code if anyone is interested: It's Swift with Firebase backend https://github.com/kingreza/Social-Go https://github.com/kingreza/Social-Go

Less than a month ago I started working on this small app that lives in your taskbar and monitors your servers by doing HTTP requests. I built it because I needed/wanted it. I plan to test it a bit more before I post it to /show. Feedback is welcome https://github.com/meznaric/ServerStatusApp https://github.com/meznaric/ServerStatusApp

I wrapped the zero-copy socket system call, for linux, for Golang: https://github.com/nathanjsweet/zsocket https://github.com/nathanjsweet/zsocket I've developed it quite a bit more now, but I got the basic functionality done in a weekend. The thing I'm proudest of is that the project doesn't directly reference the cgo package, has no locks, but is threadsafe (the no locks took more than a weekend to do ;) ).

For the cool-factor, if you're in the right niche you might find it cool. Although it isn't super advanced and without example-code for the pure C parts I wouldn't have made it. https://github.com/jontelang/syslogWindow https://github.com/jontelang/syslogWindow It displays the console output on jailbroken iOS devices, right on the screen.
