#192https://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…
Kudos for friendly easy-going presentation and sleek implementation, enjoyed checking it out. Would’ve signed up were I in the market!

#193I'm proud of a tool that I did to find the visual center of images (http://javier.xyz/visual-center/) and one to make random color schemes more cohesive (http://javier.xyz/cohesive-colors/). I find those two really useful.
I'm not so proud of a tool that transforms images to pure css (http://javier.xyz/img2css/) but it's by far my most popular tool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#194rsync.net. I am very, very proud of the (very simple) platform that we've built there. It's a basic tool that "just works" - and just works exactly like you'd expect it to . If I were a consumer of cloud storage, this is what I would want it to look like. It pleases me so greatly to know that, right now, someone is doing something like this: pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh user@rsync.net "dd of=db_dump" ... while simult…
I've used rsync.net personally and commercially. Thanks so much for building a great, simple tool and also caring about user privacy with the warrant canary and stuff.

I've recently developed a writing system for Arabic in Latin alphabet that I believe will be very useful for Arabic learners to improve their reading and writing skills quickly and efficiently.
Please check it out and let me know what you think.

#196Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was looking for a Discover Weekly saver for a while, but resorted to using just screencapping the list, and saving the good tracks internally. One issue with saving a Discover Weekly list to Spotify is that Discover Weekly is generated based on the content in the user's playlists. If you add a bunch of Discover Weekly lists that are 28/30 duds you're going to start reinforcing the system to generate crappy lists. I…
I have heard talk of this before, it would be great to get an answer from someone who works at Spotify. I wonder if saving the tracks in the playlist and not creating the backup until the next week would get around that? There is no way they are track all plays, saves, playlists, skips for every user over all of time.
No? Tracking all that stuff is trivial. For sure they are tracking plays, I do not see how they couldn't just as easily track saves/skips w/ one log entry.

#197I don't have a link as it was an internal project but it was a simple ASP.NET MVC app that interfaced with Yubikey (a 2 factor dongle) and Active Directory. It would set the Yubikey password to the Active Directory for a user which would then be used to authenticate users when they logged into the network. It wasn't much work but saved the company about $20k, which was the cost of the commercial version the company was looking into.

#199https://transfer.sh which I built because I needed it myself, now being used by hundred thousands of people a month and http://slackarchive.io used by 500 slack teams.
transfer.sh is easily one of the best file-sharing website I've used.
when I recommend it to others, they find it _counter-intuitive_ to use, maybe because of them not being comfortable with the command line. now it has a drag/drop interface, so, that's _good_ (i guess).
one "issue" that I do have with it, is that downloads aren't resumable/pause-able or you can't see actual download progress. Is this a limitation or was it built that way ?
thanks for making such awesome things :)
(for those reading, transfer.sh is fully open sourced here: https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh )
