I'm working on a new python based system, consists of Flask and many helpful extension built-in by default. it will be an easy starter template for any kind of project, and it will have a css on the front (Bootstrap or Purecss), User management (Registeration/Authentication),Asset management, Admin panel, caching, Redis, Task Queue, and two database stores (SQL and no-SQL), and a websocket push functionality. I call…

don't forget to post on the mailing list when you publish it

Sure will, I'm planning to be in EuroPython soon in Berlin, but planning to put an initial version before that on Github.

I've been working on a web based JSON generator called ObjGen that lets users model and generate JSON data interactively using an easy to use shorthand syntax. I wanted to write a tool for quick modeling and prototyping of API values for other projects that I work on. Since putting it online, I've gotten some good user feedback and have heard that it's been helpful for students just learning about JSON and data structures. Check it out here http://www.objgen.com/json?demo=true

I have a couple of other live generators online there too for creating html fragments and java classes, but haven't really updated them in a while. The html generator is Bootstrap aware, but only supports Bootstrap 2 css. The html generator was good for pair mockup sessions, but haven't used it much lately because my other projects are all Bootstrap 3 now.

www.sleepmarrykill.com I wanted to take node/redis for a spin and this was one of the more simple web apps I could think of. There isn't any data in the system right now so don't take the percentages too seriously. I might add the ability for users to upload images so people could up make funny trios and share them, but since this was more of a learning experience I doubt I'll get that far before something else takes…

It looks pretty cool but I think it would be nice if you could put the instructions somewhere more visible. Maybe I'm just retarded but I couldn't figure it out until I noticed the little question mark. Maybe somewhere on the side rather than below.

I am working on Thunder Defense and building Anti-Big Brother tools to help the general public protect their privacy. The goal is to help create awareness about potential privacy threats with simple to use tools. It's not meant for tech savvy people or hackers but the general population. My first tool is called Webcam Blocker Pro which protects your audio and video inputs. http://www.thunderdefense.com

I don't mean to offend you but I watched your promo video and it just screams FUD.

Basically scamming not tech savvy people out of their money?

Your product has nothing to do with what's a firewalls job and yet you claim your product is better and cheaper?

Also if someone has access to your microphone and webcam they probably have a trojan on your box. So I don't see how a your software product could prevent a trojan from simply enabling it again. And no you can not protect against that in any way. Which is exactly the reason why people (including me) put tape over their webcam. Because a trojan can't rip that off.

Yea I'll fiddle around with the placement of that, or maybe just make the popover be showing the first time you load the site.
