I've been working on a site dedicated to informing the public about net neutrality. It's using the new EFF data about legislators too!

#112a to b! an anonymous textboard for people: http://i.imgur.com/vjEfiwI.png sometimes, it is hard to be wrong when one's name is on the line - anonymous discussions can remove the ego from the discussion. http://atob.kthxb.ai
It looks like you have an interesting take on tripcodes, although users with colorblindness issues might have some trouble differentiating.
that's a great point. here's what it looks like in BW: http://i.imgur.com/p84tu3f.png
i'm wondering what a good way to work for colorblind people would be.

#113TwitterHealth

Crowdsourcing the classification of tweets as sick related or not for my Data/Visual Analytics class. Classified tweets from users are sent to our machine learning alg.
Originally was supposed to show where and what ailments people were dealing with around the world but having only cities doesn't give that great of a visualization.
Using node, d3, cubism, redis.

#114Nothing big, a side-project that is work related.

I've been thinking more about 'cards' and started playing around with something akin to Twitter's embedded tweets but for The New Yorker. Drop a link into a page and it gets re-done. Glorified oEmbed in a way.

#115Working on a Venmo like money tracking app that evolved out of a school project.
Adding some features and making it more performant on mobile.
Learning backbone.js right now to make the switch to a fully API backed service instead of a server render site.
Reason is because a) Venmo doesn't exist in Canada and b) school is boring.

#116No screenshots, because just code, but this is what I'm working on:
Project PiGNWhiStle: Postgresql NOTIFY to WebSocket sample app.
Project VAN: Validation, Analysis, and Normalization library for common types in PL/V8. Just in case you need to validate 5000 phone numbers per second in-database.
Project Ted: Annotation-driven in-database PL/PGSQL unit test framework for Postgres.
Project Hedgehog: a DIY web analytics app done w Spring and Postgres. Poor man's GA.

#117All: it's not clear yet whether we should have "Screenshot Saturday" and "Idea Sunday" as regular features, or whether they should be weekly if we do. Happy to hear arguments pro and con, though perhaps not in this thread. (Edit: On second thought, we might as well discuss it here and keep it at the bottom.) If are going to have these regularly, we'll ask the whoishiring account to post them automatically. That's the…
Personally, as somebody who constantly works on small side projects I find Screenshot Saturday both entertaining and educational. I would assume that it should be reserved for early concepts or work still very much in progress while Show HN be used for finished or at least MVP level projects. In other words I hope Screenshot Saturday stays here...

#118Auto Miles: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/auto-miles-automatic-mileage... It's an automatic mileage logger for iOS I've been hacking away at part time for a few months. I wrote it because I constantly forget to log my tax deductible trips, and at the time couldn't find anything that worked well without requiring me to do a few minutes of work after every drive. This week (mostly today, really) I've been working on…
Awesome, thank you! As an aside, searching in the app store with "automiles" doesn't bring up the app.
I've been using 'Moves' to track contracting hours. In that vein, would be great if you could add hour tracking, e.g. for the time spent at a client location.

#119http://i.imgur.com/quhpXWi.png NodeJS module to convert maps (shapefiles, geojson, topojson, or KML) into 3D models that are suitable for 3D printing. I've done a lot of 3D printing of map data before, but mostly using a pretty manual process to create the models. This auomates the whole thing. The posted image is population by census block group in the bay area. The raw data is shown on the left and my converted 3D…
This is cool. I work in GIS at a college and would be interested in seeing / hearing more about this... do you have a repo or a blog about it?
Getting it ready for github and I'm also planning to publish it to npm. It's still pretty rough around the edges, so hopefully in another weekend or two I'll get it out there.

Huh, thanks for pointing that out! May have to add the misspelled name into the keywords for the next version (iTunes keywords are a PITA: they're limited to 100 characters, and can't be edited between versions).
What do you mean by hour tracking? Like time-sheets functionality (which seems a bit out of the scope), or something simple you could type in how long you spent at the location? I've been considering adding a notes option for logs, which might work for something like that.
