My weekend project is a script which tracks prices of used cars which I'm interested in and saves the data to a Google spreadsheet. It will also notify me via email if price for a car has dropped. I'm about half-way done.
Interested in learning more. Could connect you to the ex-cofounder of a popular car parts company.
It's the first new product since we started work on Snowplow two and a half years ago. The idea is that you register your JSON Schemas in an Iglu repo and then software like Snowplow can go fetch the Schemas to check that incoming JSONs pass validation.
There's also "Iglu Central" which is like Rubygems.org or Maven Central, but for schemas instead of code.
Since I have collected a few (maybe a bit too much) files and found some vulns, I recently started work on a simplified user interface for less security affine people, to get simple results for a single URL or file. (Not quite ready to link here yet.)
At the moment I'm expanding the same concept to JavaScript and integrating a crawler to feed my systems. Having large amounts of source code, I'm also looking into search platforms and have been using Solr for some stuff, as well as a small implementation of a simple search index by myself.
I've been working on http://rwt.to for a while now, which is a public transit planner for South Africa. It's meant to be a replacement for Google Transit, with fare calculations. I'm accountant/consultant by day, and programmer by night. An example route for those not in South Africa: https://rwt.to/*H5ZVyZFo6 . Almost production-ready, most work lies in gathering data as our transit agencies don't supply GTFS data l…

I'd love to get some feedback if anyone is interested.
Working on TruckPlease https://www.truckplease.com/ If you need to move something you can post it there and guys with trucks and moving companies around you will put down quotes for the job. Then you can accept/decline the quotes and get connected to the mover. It's a Rails app. The focus is on stuff within the same city (or county at least) so shorter local moves. It's mostly in Vancouver, BC right now although we g…
Bitcoinp ("bitcoin, with padding") is a jsonp enabled api that aggregates api data from the most popular bitcoin exchanges (and platforms that 'provide bitcoin exchange services' such as coinbase) and delivers it to anyone who wants to make it visible on their page (client-side), so they don't have to build a backend to do the same thing. I think it will be useful to people just cutting their teeth on html who've maybe set up a neocities, as well as people making browser extensions or phone apps that want to deliver a customizable view on bitcoin prices, or deliver something similar to http://preev.com
I'm also working on an API intended to be used by chrome extensions that wraps google's diff-match-patch library and allows content script writers to enable their users to easily track and visualize changes to sections of the webpage they modify.
I'm also also working on an easier way to manage resume changes that would run as a single-page application.
I'm also contributing to open-source projects that interest me: most recently submitted a bug fix to tubalr.com, but I'm also planning some contributions to the Reddit Enhancement Suite.
Last week I shipped time series graphs for all your exceptions, and now I'm working on some new client libraries.
