ZynAddSubFX - a musical software synthesizer http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/

Right now everything is open source, but I've started work on a replacement user interface which would be temporarily released under a proprietary license. I think the project is awesome as understanding workflow in a complicated application is a challenging task and at some stage all work will be released back to the open source version.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You know what's also annoying? linking to jwz from HN. He really seems to not like that... (EDIT: link has been removed in the meantime)

You know what's even more annoying? Someone with a public website who breaks links in such an overtly antagonistic way. I've seen other people do this by simply having a text message that kindly asks people not to link to them. Anyway, it seems to be a static website, and it should be able handle HN traffic for a fairly small amount of effort and/or money.

I mean a static website can't put up cloudflare? It would rather redirect to a picture of balls?

Our hosted load testing service which uses real browsers, driven by javascript, ruby or java code the same way you'd write your usual selenium/webdriver tests. It is awesome because it will make load test script creation/maintenance just like anything else. It will also be the first "opinionated" load testing tool. beta access signup here: http://signup.browserup.com

Interested to see how it pans out. Just signed up.

ClickRouter - because it allows me to use all my affiliate accounts (CJ, Skimlinks, Viglinks, shareasale, etc) at once. This has nearly doubled my affiliate revenue. At first it was an internal tool I ran for a long time, but been working to make it a service. http://clickrouter.com

Any plans to sell a self-hosted version?

On https://upflow.co – it's awesome because it saves people time researching and scheduling great content to social media.

Very interesting tool. Are the content pieces usually just a link back to someone else's trending piece? Is there a way for me to understand my own content pieces?

We are setting up a trailer at 7th & Red River for SXSW doing cell phone repairs and selling external batteries, cables, chargers and cases. Why it is awesome: I have done a lot of things as an entrepreneur, but I've never street hustled before. As an introvert, this is pretty intimidating, but I think it will be good practice for doing more sales in the future. Plus, it gets me out from behind the computer and into…

Sounds like a cool idea for personal growth. Good luck.
