Newman Mail - A mail-merge service for Gmail with message A/B testing

http://sendNewmanMail.com

I have been doing a lot of customer development lately and I needed a tool that made it easy to reach out to large-ish groups of people whilst testing the efficacy of different messages.

I chose to build my own product because I could not find another tool that was simple enough to use (all the others were full-blown CRMs), I did not want to pay for the subscription to those other tools and (most importantly) I wanted to use this project to learn a couple new things (Javascript ES6, using Google APIs, building task queues).

It's pretty rough and I built it just for myself (I don't allow signups because I took a couple security shortcuts in the design) but it works and has increased my productivity dramatically.

Elodie - An EXIF-based photo, video and audio workflow automation tool https://github.com/jmathai/elodie I've been working on Elodie for over a year. It's organized over 15,000 of my personal photos and videos for me. It's also helped me craft a hands-free backup system. I've written pretty extensively about it so I'll just link to those posts.

Neat! I was meaning to write a FUSE filesystem for my personal use that exactly accomplished this with EXIF data. I don't feel as motivated to do that now, will give elodie a spin instead.

https://www.findlectures.com Right now it has an index of ~70k conference talks / lectures / speeches. I'm working on improving it to get slide text and audio quality (for ranking), and getting more historical content.

I didn't know i wanted this.

How do you scrap all that data?
