http://imgur.com/QUGUkxa PAGS: Programming Assignment Grading System. I'm a Msc student and a teaching assitant. Grading programming assignments of students takes so much time because of preparing files, environments, viewing code, multipe outputs etc. Besides my research, I developed this Docker based web application, where assignments are Dockerfile + run script + required/supplied/output files. Main motivation: I…

URLDiff - a small ruby app (and my very first!) that computes and renders the visual differences between two (or a list of) URLs:

whipped it up to check for visual differences in a bunch of pages I moved to a new platform, worked a treat.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bglsyo0tnwp6ddd/Screenshot%202014-... I needed a better way to visualize upcoming music events at a given location, filtered by genre. This is a project I've been working on bit by bit over the last few years, has been rewritten several times, and is about to get a design overhaul once the functionality is finished (getting close!).

Neat! I'll keep an eye on this.

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.

Thanks for the tip. I picked up rentalrepair.net and rentalrepair.co today.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4cflduw99mys261/22.04.2014.png Together with my brother I've been working on our little passion project "Nations Online" (still very early stage). The goal is basically a decent Civilization-like game that runs in the browser and on tablets with improved and larger scale multiplayer (at least up to 32 players) and 3D graphics. It was mostly born out of frustrations with Civ 5's slow and bugg…

For early stage it looks pretty good! Would move to see it completed. It suit Civ style play particularly well if it could be set up to notify everyone when it was their turn (similar to how some online chess apps function).

Thanks, we definitely plan notifications via email and if possible other messenging services.

Hey that is really nice! Are you interested in looking for a way to get them manufactured?

I built screenshot service as a side project. https://urlbox.io Fortunately we got some big customers recently. So it started to generate little bit of profit. Hoping to get couple more big customers and turn it into my full-time job.

This looks cool. Any plans to add support for posted HTML (as opposed to a target URL) too?

The reason I ask is that sometimes I need to screenshot pages that I've crawled - but you might not see exactly the same page I did at the time.

Zoom and pan around the map to find the locations of significant peaks in an area. Click a marker to reveal information about each mountain, including images, descriptions, height etc.

If there is community interest, I definitely would!

I love the Pibow, by the way. ;)
