I'm working on a cross-sync script called Airship. The idea is that I should be able to play the same game where I left off, even if it's across two or more platforms. Currently I have support for the Steam Cloud and iCloud services, and The Banner Saga game sync. Code is open source at https://github.com/aarzee/airship.

I'm working with a kick-ass team on a 3D-printable smartphone-controlled open-source robotic telescope. Currently undergoing testing in South Africa.

Code not released yet. We're using tools like Azure, with a Windows Phone as the smartphone controller, and Arduino to drive motors for the scope.

SkimHN is a desktop application to skim hacker news articles and decide if you want to read an article fully

https://github.com/mcaravind/HackerNewsSummary

It even has a cheesy 'Time saved' feature to help you see how much time you might have saved by not reading the full comment thread :-) Not sure how useful it actually is, but it was a lot of fun to develop. I used C#, edge.js, ideas from natural language processing, tree algorithms etc.

Unfortunately it only works on Win 64 right now (although I built it with node-webkit so making it cross platform desktop app should be feasible in the future)
