Mostly because I wanted to share reddit links with friends, but they didnt make sense without the accompanying title of the post.

#153I would guess my most used project would be an HTTP header editor for Chrome[0]. According to the developer dashboard it has close to 4,000 weekly users and I don't think I've had to do anything to it in over a year and a half. That so many folks would use my software is cool.

#154https://izuded.com (i.e., "iz u ded?") I made this because I adopted a puppy and realized that, if I got hit by a bus on a Friday, he could be stuck in his crate for days before anyone realized. Morbid, but useful. It texts you every X days and asks, "u ded?" -- if you don't click "naw" before X days pass, it'll notify your contacts. It's a portfolio project to show what I've learned in the realm of "serverless" arch…
This is fantastic, made me laugh. Brilliant idea

Successful. That's what I want for my SaaS developers. Whatever your core product is, it's always going to need
- billing integration with Stripe
- user authentication (for your customers)
- access control (so you can drop in support)
You can pull this off (of course!) but do you really want to deal with this portion at all? Wouldn't you rather focus on driving traffic, writing blogs, adding new features to your core product with the time that you would spend on maintaining the non-product portions?
Here's how we are doing it:
- We would be your go-to resource for all of your SaaS website issues, fixes, CSS changes, anything related!
- SaaS website never enters your cognitive load, we are keeping it up!
- Send us an email at hi@saasful.com and we'll work on any request you send us in 48 hours. This is nice because months down the road you want to quickly change CSS
- Never deal with hiring from freelancer.com!
This is the tool that my devs and I have been working on this quarter. Would love some feedbacks.
edit: Care to explain the drive by downvotes? The thread is about sharing what tools we are working on right? Or did I not do it properly? Please let me know!

#156Well, I really like the simplicity of athena. [0]
athena is an elegant, minimalist, light-weight static blog generator written in Python. It's just over 50 lines of code. athena tightly integrates with Tufte's design and typography rules. Have a look! [1]

#157The simple tool I wrote that I get the most bang for my buck out of is synesthesia[1]. I spend a lot of my time tracing things down across multiple log files, and having to pick out the important lines visually or trying to isolate them with custom grep incantations was wearing on me. Synesthesia allows you to specify regexes, and it will color matches based on the value of the match itself, meaning that it's statele…
Reminds me of Internet Explorer 7(?)'s coloured tab groups. I actually thought they were quite a neat UI idea.

#158https://shellshare.net
I have migrated my wife's (then girlfriend) computer to Linux and sometimes I had to configure something on her computer (e.g. a printer). This ended up generating lots of back and forth on the phone with me telling her commands to write in the terminal, and she reading the output out loud. I wanted an easy way to see her terminal. So shellshare was born.
Shellshare allows you to run a single command line and share your terminal online (read-only)
wget -qO shellshare http://get.shellshare.net && python shellshare
There aren't many users, but I use it almost every week.

#159http://glogg.bonnefon.org/ a fast log browser born of my frustration looking for patterns and trying to understand bugs from huge logs. It has become not-so-tiny over the years and I see it pop up in a lot of unexpected offices.
