I'm trying to make a search engine that gives you the opposite of what you search for: this is what I've got so far http://sample-env.wk77znpmqm.us-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/

It works by monitoring data structures (and soon general objects!) in your code, and sending operation data (e.g. element added/removed) to the server app which does all the actual visualization. Different clients can be written for different languages, though I've only written one for monitoring Java code so far (but the clients are semi-trivial to build).
Problem: a lot of what's difficult in programming is that you can't watch the 'state' of your program as its running; we approximate it with print statements etc.—but there is no easy way to view trees, graphs, tables, lists, hashmaps, etc. especially when they are being actively modified by a program.
I'm hoping to have an alpha ready in a week or two. Back to work!
Edit: split into Project/Problem format.
I've been working on a bookmarking app with a feature that reminds you to revisit bookmarks (either algorithmically or manually via a schedule.) It also has built-in wishlisting and a bunch of other stuff I always wanted out of a bookmark app. Bookmark apps are a really crowded space and I have no idea how to advertise something with so many alternatives, I built this app because I always wanted these features I coul…
Problem: it sucks to have to flip around various labs to compare results.
Also, trying to make a better search engine for fine-art that is for sale.
The app hooks into your Spotify account so you get access to a huge library of high quality music. You can also save things directly to your playlists so you keep all the cool stuff you discover in one place. If you're more hands on you can be a DJ, play your favorite stuff and get real time feedback from the crowd. If you're more of a hand's off kind of person it's great for getting high quality hand picked music for long stretches at a time (eg the 8 hour work day).
It's totally free, I wanted the product so I built it- has been a great learning experience!
I've had a project on my mind for a long time now. Just for my own entertainment value. I wrote a Python script a while back that would take two people's Google Location data (from Google Takeouts), and find out where they've crossed paths. I found out that my girlfriend and I were only a mile apart, within 5 minutes of each other, two years before we met (she was gracious enough to download her location data and sha…
I never finished the analyzation but I had saved all the texts we had sent in our 6 year relationship.
I would totally be on board with this. I was freaked when I saw what Google was saving on me without asking them to (Everywhere I ever went with my phone. Imagine what they don't show me)
As an aside, I'm kind of curious how others feel they fare on building new projects. Do you feel slow? I worry constantly about how quickly I'm moving relative to peers.

Typeclasses were surprisingly easy to grasp. Got tripped up for a couple of days trying to implement a way to generate fresh variables ("a", "b", ...) and ultimately grokked the State monad to implement it.
I have a project idea that might be useful for someone to learn about audio processing (and maybe neural networks?). I like to listen to audio and watch video of podcasts (and lectures and other human speech) at faster speeds. Sometime, especially if I'm trying to "skim" to see if the media is worth listening to carefully, I'd like to listen at 3x or faster. Very often, the limiting factor is the intelligibility of t…
Interesting idea. I used to watch Berkeley webcast videos at 1.5x to shave off ~30 minutes from a 90 minute lecture. Any faster wouldn't be intelligible.
