I can't say it's my worst work, but I never felt like it was ready to post to HN as a "Ask HN: Review my new...". But here it is...

Uhm, This was about three hours worth of work, and never came back to it. http://prj-megan.heroku.com/ source is here: http://github.com/icco/Project-Megan.

I have no doubt someone could blow this up.

http://internettypewriter.com Just screwing around with HTML5 SQL storage a couple years ago, so it only works with Webkit-variants... Saves your pages as you type, listed on the left, flip the lights on the right.

That's really cool. Nice work.

Looks useful and impressive.

May be "Show details" should be "About Me". And instead of forcing "login\signup", a page allowing direct customization of the widget and embed code would be more impressive.

Thanks for the feedback! "About Me" is a great suggestion, and I have always wanted to make a site that allows someone to be able to immediately start using the site without signing up. I should spend some time to figure out how to do that...

It's awesome to see so many building so much cool stuff. I just got lost for 20 minutes in benjoffe's site. Here are a few of mine:

Track lunch debts (turns out I'd rather just buy people lunch but I got to play with some JS): http://lunchng.appspot.com/

Save clippings from web pages (2008, seems like someone builds one of these every six months, could use a refresh with ideas from http://pagestackandroid.appspot.com): http://www.clipng.com/

Make Myst-like walkthroughs with photos you took (2009, might be fun for someone outside of real estate): http://www.pictourist.com/
