I built a Posterous export tool that backs-up all your Posterous data (posts, images, video, audio) after the Twitter acquisition announcement. http://exportmyposts.com/ How I built it: http://blog.jazzychad.net/2012/03/21/launching-exportmyposts...

"... If you are looking for a free solution, you can read the Posterous API documentation to create your own backups. ..."

Love this, because the pain point costs way more than the cost of your service.

I launched two movie/tv related websites:

http://checkafilm.com - search for a film by title and see an aggregate review summary about the movie and any content advisories it might have.

http://tmfdb.org - a bookmarklet for automatically muting profanity in Hulu videos for a more "family-friendly" experience.

Both are open-source - https://github.com/jacobwg/checkafilm and https://github.com/jacobwg/tmfdb.org/tree/master/script

I've been working on adding access over WiFi to "Handbag for Android" an app that helps you create Arduino-based accessories for Android devices without writing Android code. (http://handbagdevices.com/)

Up until now Handbag has only used the Android Open Accessory Protocol/ADK but one of the requests I've had has been to make it work over WiFi as well.

Taking the opportunity to also re-architect the app a bit.

My project log for March is available at http://www.labradoc.com/i/follower/p/android-arduino-handbag... for more details.

(Did I mention you can also start a project log for your project at Labradoc? http://www.labradoc.com/ :) )

Drawium.com - Website Tour Builder. Made a lot of improvements on our interactive tour builder and the tour viewers after we hit the front page on HN and got lots of constructive feedback. Build a tour for your website at http://drawium.com

Do you intentionally ask for registering before trying out Tour creation?
