I've been picking up where I left off about a year ago on http://introtopython.org, an open resource for teaching and learning Python. It's based on IPython notebook, so anyone who knows how to work with IPython notebooks can contribute to the project.

I wrote most of the Python Essentials notebooks last year, and then had to focus on other work for a while. Now I'm updating the infrastructure so it plays nicely with IPython 3. Then I get to focus on projects, which will make the site much more useful to people learning Python.

Happy to hear feedback and build collaboration on the project.

I'm working on mobile app to easily organize skateboard sessions. https://twitter.com/GetSeshApp

I haven't skateboarded in years, but some of my fonder memories was just me and like the regular 4-5 other kids going out and skating around town together.

Nothing currently...trying to find some time for maintenance on https://github.com/jdc0589/JsFormat, and maybe finishing up the last couple big bugs/features on https://github.com/jdc0589/mite-node

I have been working on and helping out with some maintenance on https://github.com/doublespeakgames/adarkroom. It's a really fun, minimalist text game with a ton of potential. It is worth checking out!

I'm working on a 2d game engine built with LÖVE (the framework, but also the emotion) called Grid. http://www.andrewmcwatters.com/grid/ It's built by me and friends at Planimeter, my super volunteer contributor team. http://www.andrewmcwatters.com/planimeter/

It's not 1.0.0, yet though. Maybe in a few months to a year or so. It's a spare time thing.

It's hosted on my site, which was featured on Bootstrap Expo yesterday, and currently sits next to New Relic.

This is a great Ask HN, and the first time I've seen this asked. I'd love to see this pop up more.

Seems you're building an authentication mechanism which is based on private links. You should keep in mind that with services like similarweb.com, which steal users click-stream using a number of extensions that sell them this data, the concept of private links no longer esxists. Open a link in your browser, an extension sends it to similarweb.com, and the "private" url will be displayed on their dashboard, to their premium users.

I am working on timeblock.com it's a new way of working, like agile but more humane.

It started as a change I made to how my consultancy worked, when I told others about the benefits like sleeping better and being more happy, others started to work using the same method.

Now I am creating a SaaS app and book to help others get the same benefits.

The authentication mechanism actually uses cookies, that don't expire for a long time, to authenticate the user. Private links come in when the user wants to log in via a device which he does not usually use.
