In early March I whipped up http://Listen2EDM.com because I was tired of searching for new music manually through SoundCloud, GrooveShark/Spotify still sort of required discovery, and Pandora just didn't fit my personal pain-point. While social media stats are meek, it's averaging about 32000 minutes played back each day (~400 uniques/day; ~2000/week). This has motivated me to develop it further and make the UI a bit…

This is AWESOME.

Looks great! I had the same problem and then I found HypeMachine (hypem.com).

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…

Guessing the use of docker is to mitigate possible harmful student code executing in the server?

Life Goes On!

A game, built in Unity, about sacrificing knights and using their dead bodies to solve puzzles.

This game started at a game jam two years ago. It became an evening and weekends hobby, then it became a full commercial release, and we just launched on steam. (http://store.steampowered.com/app/250050/)

I thought that after the game launched I would have some time to relax. But support, bug fixes, responding to media requests, and planning next steps has kept me very busy.

Been working on my first Rails app for a few http://sixtasks.heroku.com because I think the idea of a to-do list is powerful, but the concept needs refining.

Also, I wanted to be able to track my productivity in a tangible way, and Six Tasks helps me do that: http://i.imgur.com/5bbLxJo.png

Trying to add features like smarter task recording, and maybe tagging list items, idk I'm just making it up as I go along

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 buggy multiplayer mode.

The server is based on Scala & Akka, the client is plain JavaScript and WebGL/ThreeJS.

This is sick. I haven't looked into other website localizing solutions, but how is this approach better than what's currently being used in industry?
