The second project that I've been working on is RepairMyRentalPro.com which is a site to help connect landlords and contractors when work is needed on a rental property. The site is in beta but went 'live' a week ago. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/HKHPsqi.png

I would try to purchase rentalrepair.com, it is a premium domain available for $1000, or buy rentalrepair.net for $9.

All: 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…

While we at it, I would love to see Seed-fund HN monthly. It would be quite easy at this point for 1 or 2000 HNers to throw $50 each each month and fund one or two projects.

Idea Sunday, Screenshot Saturday, Problem Thursday, etc, the Invisible Hand [1] will probably regulate their worthiness and the right frequency.

Some will be have more discussion around them (Ideas, Problems) than others (Screenshots, MVPs,etc..) just because it is easier to talk the idea than to implement it. However Screenshots and MVPs benefit from the exposure of a single thread on the front page, I call this co-Marketing.

I think what we see here is the HN community expressing a need for more tools and ways to fully benefit from the community. The community wants to share ideas, show off their work, get help in solving problems, hire hackers. I would like to see more of all these.

In early March I whipped up http://Listen2EDM.com because I was tired of searching for new music manually through SoundCloud, GrooveShark/Spotify still sort of required discovery, and Pandora just didn't fit my personal pain-point. While social media stats are meek, it's averaging about 32000 minutes played back each day (~400 uniques/day; ~2000/week). This has motivated me to develop it further and make the UI a bit…

Great site! I'd really recommend you change the name though. 'EDM' is pretty cringe-worthy word these days (much like 'electronica' and 'alternative'), and just generally doesn't roll off the tongue too well.

Thanks! I'm usually much more cautious about branding/naming but for the life of me, I couldn't hit a sweet spot. So I went with whatever I could think of. Open to suggestions :)

LottoLane / http://www.lottolane.com Lottery Pools for the 21st Century. LottoLane handles all aspects of lottery pools. Keep friends/family/colleagues in the loop with upcoming drawings. Track who has paid to play. Share pics of tickets with pool members. Find out if you've won instantly after a drawing without checking the numbers yourself. Screenshot of a lottery drawing page: http://i.imgur.com/pZvg5Uw.png Screen…

This should be 100% mobile first, even if mobile web. I do not play lottery, but I can see this being very very valuable to people who play in groups. Or even just for individuals who want to keep track of the combinations they played in the past.

I agree. I'm using bootstrap for the layouts, so it should translate to mobile fairly easily. The nice thing is the players in a pool won't have to sign up. Only the lottery pool manager has to sign up. It's pretty convenient. We have a pool at work but aren't allowed to use our work emails for it. So this was born out of necessity.

First time, long time.

I'm the creator of PaperBox (http://www.gopaperbox.com), a document scanning and organization system for mobile (iPhone only right now) and the web. There are lots of similar solutions, but ours has a few unique features that make it stand out (web interface, fundamentally dependent on Dropbox, sharing, reminders, etc).

I'd love some feedback on it! The screenshots are a little old, FYI. Please checkout the free iPhone app!

Pretty cool site man. We launched an customizable SoundCloud player that could fit in pretty nicely here. We even have a player skin that would match your color scheme :)

Check it out at https://www.toneden.io/player. The repo is at https://github.com/ToneDen/toneden-sdk.

Just hit me up if you want some help integrating it.

http://i.imgur.com/677PMkn.jpg Today I tested https://github.com/rbanffy/testable_appengine on Windows and thought I should add a mention to the README. This is completely unrelated to my day job, but we all have hobbies. Also, about a week ago, I fixed https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font so now it works with https://github.com/milkbikis/powerline-shell

Could you tell me what that font is? :)

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.

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…

Right now I will look up how long I've spent at a client location to prepare the timesheet for billing. If the app, like Moves, knew where 'work' is, it could do this automagically.

Could be out of scope depending on perspective, but for me it would be killing two birds with one stone.
