I have built a platform for Networking - specifically for conferences, meetups & business gatherings.
We hosted one conference i.e Apple's WWDC.

#22I had been building http://wishcan.com , a drag-and-drop travel planner, and will hand it off to someone willing to continue the work. Trip planning is difficult to get right, and notoriously hard to find a business model for. I think it's simply because no one has gotten the UI/UX perfect. I am now working on an IoT platform called http://smartxlab.com
hey it looks polished! my wife and i are planning for a trip to Taipei mid-Sep, so i'm wondering if your app is usable (at least until end of this month).

#23I've been making a podcast discovery app, it's not live yet but the latest home page screenshot is http://imgur.com/a/Bkn7Y (basically: Trending topics, Recommendations (based on social media profile and listening history, subscribed shows, and iTunes charts), and instant search of over 4.5 million episodes across more than 60 thousand shows.)
I may not be able to keep going on it though because of constraints on time and resources. Would be happy to talk to anyone who'd like to partner on this (or ideas about how I can at least handle hosting bills for such a large DB!). firasd at gmail.

WishCan is incredible - really well done! Any thoughts of open sourcing it? I would love to host a private version for my parents. Thanks.

WishCan is super well done!

#26I made a program for one handed keyboard input. it has a rather unique way of selecting symbols, and it can insert it into any X11 window. So far it's in far from polished. It runs on Ubuntu if you download some rather common libraries. Take a look in the Makefile for details.
I won't have very much time to continue the development.

#27This is something that I've been designing and playing around for a while...
I wanted to implement a generic MUC protocol bridge. Kinda like https://sameroom.io/ is doing, but open source.
My initial approach was to look at Matterbridge (a mattermostirc bridge) and go from there. But I simply don't have time to do it anymore. The author is interested by the approach though so ... have at it:
https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/issues/9

I'm also the author of https://github.com/jleclanche/django-push-notifications and I don't use it anymore, but it's a very popular django app. If someone around here is using it and wants to maintain it (or part of it), please reach out - I tried handing it off to Jazzband but that doesn't seem to be happening.

#28I built http://mlist.io but currently don't have time to do anything beyond maintenance. If you interested in email newsletters let me know!

Good job so far, just add some airbnb hook there and you got income.

#30I have been holding on to http://ampoll.com for a while. Technologically, it's there despite a couple of bugs but I've not touched it for over a year now and will probably scrap it in the near future.
