http://vps.kevinmehall.net:8123/hn An Operational Transformation (like Google Wave / EtherPad) implementation in node.js and coffeescript. Source at http://github.com/kevinmehall/OTpad . It's much cleaner and lighter-weight than the EtherPad open source project. Chrome recommended for now, FF sort-of supported.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why do you consider http://news.ycombinator.com as half baked ?
Because it's still missing features that might seem essential if you decided what was essential a priori instead of empirically.
http://electopinion.ca/ About two years ago, me and my partner gave ourself 48h to launch a project. We never touched it since then and the database has more than 1 gig of data by now... I guess there should be something to do with it but we never had the time and/or motivation to touch it again after that. We still managed to get some coverage (press, tv, etc.) on that so even if it's not something really complicate…
Too bad I didn't see this sooner - it would have made a nice simple way to keep track of the various municipal elections happening across the country at the moment. If this could be customized for the user's location (or per account) so that the local Toronto/Calgary/Durham/Ottawa/etc election was covered this could gain huge traction. This is great - maybe you can push it further for the next federal election?
But the real problem is that we aren't really motivated by politics so that the real reason why we didn't add any features yet.
I had an idea to build a chatroom-flavored MUD that is played through the browser. There's a live demo on no.de that you can find at the top of the docs.

http://www.propgrok.org/ -- A (nonpartisan) guide to 2010 California Propositions. I would appreciate any feedback, and I realize it's not too pretty. My bigger issue is that I'm at a loss as to how to get people to come visit the site since this is a hobby project. Any ideas?
Make it easy for someone with an opinion on an issue to type in their analysis and share it to Facebook (with a "more" link back to your site). Recently I've had several conversations about voting behavior, I think many people vote mostly based on advice from their friends. Maybe you can help the politically minded friends share their issues and in the process build a community for them.
