I'm working on the marketing/traction strategy for my second startup.
Lack of marketing was the reason of the fall of my first startup... so I don't want to get burn a second time. I'll share some stuff on HN in a few weeks :)

#112I'm working on a site that encourages and makes it simple to share your weekly progress on the things you are working on.

#113I'm working on a Video Player as a service. Basically you host the video files yourself in your server/s3/cdn whatever. And you get a player with many features like captions,stats (maybe realtime), VAST2.0 ads, playlists, multi playlists and many more. Anyone like what you read?

#114I'm building a virtual assistant that prioritizes your reading list. I've been building it for awhile and we made it to MassChallenge semi-finals, but no farther. Hopefully we'll launch soon :). If anyone here wants a beta invite, you can sign up at http://foldr.co (just click launch)

#115I am working on a webapp called Vanish Drive. It lets you share files in the Cloud in a non persistent way. Get the sharing done and the files will be erased from the Cloud after some while.
I've made a quick pitch site: http://usejquery.com/vd-pitch/index.html
Last week I re-structured the app (updated with my knowledge, because it's in the works for quite a while now) and yesterday I modified Backbone.js' Sync function to handle the CRUD actions via websockets.
What do you think?

#116I am working on a private Android app provisioning service with the ability to silently update apps on rooted devices. It started as a way to easily deploy Android apps I develop to my multiple test devices and has become a great method to manage and update my volunteer beta testers.

#117I'm working on a tool that helps you find the webpages you've previously come across. This is primarily done by showing large screenshots with each bookmark. I plan to add a variety of page-browsing tools to help you find that page quickly (from color palettes to cover-flow-esq flow). http://folindux.com
Seems like a good idea, though I signed up and installed it and it's not working for me. I can't bookmark anything. I'm using Chrome for mac, version 19.0.1084.52

#118I'm building a site that performs discounted cash flow analysis of stocks. Most of the existing work in this area comes from people selling custom spreadsheets. I think there's a good chance to disrupt that market, especially by combining it with education and a notification component.
I understood everything apart from 'discounted cash flow analysis of stocks' Can you please explain in plain English what that means?
In general, discounted cashflow means "if you will get $100 in 1 month i.e. future cashflow, what will be it be worth today i.e. discounted to today i.e. present value which should be little less than $100"

#119I've really been liking the Mac App Store. Great potential for selling apps as an independent developer, and not nearly as saturated at the iPhone/Android app stores. Such as... EdgeCase: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/edgecase/id513826860?mt=12
I'm a bit surprised that they don't consider this a violation of their requirement that apps not change the native user interface.
It was a really frustrating process getting it accepted actually. Took over 3 weeks and several rejections. Really depends on which reviewer you get I think.

#120I feel like I always need more than one project on my plate, so I'm working on two main apps right now: CloudPlay ( http://cloudplay.fm ), my first Mac app, is a music player that searches for music locally (iTunes) and online (YouTube, SoundCloud), similar to Spotlight, and makes it easy to build playlists and share them. I'm going to iterate on it lots this summer while in the nReduce ( http://nreduce.com/ ) progra…
