http://flask.io 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.

  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 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?
- yolesaber 14y 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 https://github.com/yolesaber/scalpyr) which I am using in tandem with another side project, ExploreMore (http://bit.ly/TRafpo http://bit.ly/TRafpo).

I love the submissions so far. Here is my latest side project: http://www.getkontxt.com 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.
- yolesaber 14y 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?
  - cschmitt 14y 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.

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 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!

https://routebop.com https://routebop.com and http://geoflickr.jit.su 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! [1]http://www.tunecrawl.com/ http://www.tunecrawl.com/

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 https://github.com/OrganizedIntelligence/Jackal

A 'friendly' tutor listing directory (http://www.tutr.com.au 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.
