Software defined radios that can work in extreme conditions (like during or just after a giant disaster), an IoT kernel that does useful work in a mesh network without a back haul, a personal 'internet radio' that can stream your home market AM/FM stations to you anywhere, and computer system to teach the mid-levels of computer science between programming and and database design.

Could you explain more about the computer system to teach computer science ?

Would it be like an iron python notebook ?

A couple... 1. Record one album a month. An album must consist of no less than four songs. At least one song must be an original. I can only record on a 4-track cassette recorder. Problem: I'm getting older and find myself nostalgic for the days when I was running my record label and playing in bands. A small, manageable project with no expectations or demands to scratch that itch and get me away from computers for a…

It's going to take more then a couple of weeks, been working on it for more then 1 year :) https://subzero.cloud/

You're way ahead of what I'm thinking of. :)

Nice job.

3d-printing new battery cases and replacing old batteries with new (Li-ion) for my old electronics for which it is no longer possible, or at least not cost effective, to buy new batteries.

Just launched a new company with a few friends! We are creating predictive algorithms that train and run directly on mobile devices. The idea is to give mobile developers APIs that can predict users real-world behaviors (going home in 20 minutes, will go for a run in 1 hour, about to sleep). Our goal is to do it all on device so we can give users greater security (no stored data) and also run in real-time no matter the connectivity.

First I really like to see so many great projects. Iam currently working on:

Project: I am building an open source API management tool which should simplify API development (http://www.fusio-project.org/).

http://bsnip.com - A screenshot and annotation utility. I wasn't happy with any of the available options, either the price was too high, or the feature set was lacking so I decided to make my own. I believe BetterSnipper stands out in its ability to dock to the side of the screen, making it especially good at taking/editing/uploading multiple screenshots. I've been working on this side project for a few years now and…

Nice. I've enjoyed putting animated GIFs into presentations lately as a not-quite-video lightweight animation tool (I use ShareX).

I didn't see whether or not your program supports capturing/creating these or not.

I've recently launched https://pingtiger.com I now have some free trial users who are helping me with figuring out features they need the most. There are a lot of existing solutions for the same problem, but I'm trying to make the user experience simpler and more pleasant.

For a service like this to work, one thing needs to be solved, automating the code deployment (i am talking views/functions/roles/grants/RLS). As far as i know (and i've asked other people) this is not a solved problem. This is what i am working on now. The rest is done

I'm building MediaSend (https://mediasend.co/). It's a video CDN with built-in transcoding and video embedding (with plans to add any kind of media to the CDN).

Currently it's on private beta, and I would appreciate some help launching it as a side project! I'm good enough in backend and technical product development, but suck at launching things.
