I've recently launched https://reservv.com a platform for facilitating online appointment booking. Not the first to try and tackle the problem but I'm trying to make the UX simpler and the whole process better for both sides.

#352Software 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 ?
In my opinion, there is a gap between what you can learn on an Arduino type environment and a Raspberry Pi type environment. When I started using Cortex-M level processors (32 bit, very simple MMU (protection only) I realized that it could be the basis for a "PC/AT" type system where you could explore everything from a simple monitor based operating environment (think MS-DOS or AmigaDOS like) through to a self hosted set of compilation tools. The hardware is pretty easy (there are lots of different ideas in this space) but the curriculum is currently still a bit weak. So with the addition of a simple FPGA based frame buffer I've been building a system that can be used to teach a student computer systems.

#353Project: Distributed, trustless, anonymous, encrypted, messenger/mailer with the goal of hiding senders and receivers of messages. Also can't be brought down since it is distributed. Problem: Limited time to work on it. I have a working prototype with one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many messaging/mailing working fully encrypted over ipv4. Building out the transport methods is the next main task (ipv4 works, nee…
You might find Ethereum's Whisper messaging protocol interesting.

#354I'm building a very opinionated iOS app for learning Spanish. It teaches primarily by ear and in context (rich conversations). http://supercocoapp.com

#355Project: I've built a small app that assists in efficient, timecoded note taking, like "03:25 - doesn't recognise the download button (unhappy)"
Problem: when doing interviews and usability tests/walkthroughs, it's hard to keep track of time, take notes, observe the persons emotions and have it in sync for reviewing the recording later.

#356I am working on version 2 of my side project bestfoodnearme https://bestfoodnearme.com It is a side project I am doing for fun in my spare time to solve a problem I have when deciding where to eat out.
hi, I am working on something similar with https://samosasnearme.com.
I am unable to sign in to your website using FB.

#357Working on an embeddable programming language (think Lua, ChaiScript, etc. use-cases) with simple yet powerful syntax, NO null pointers, static typing, and memory management WITHOUT A GARBAGE COLLECTOR (XD). It's not ready for public eyes yet, but you can follow the details on the official blog:

#358http://www.eathow.com/ EatHow is a web app that helps you plan your meals and gives you recipes you can make with the food you already have. Long term Id like to completely automate grocery shopping and meal planning so all you have to do is a one-time setup where you set a budget and diet preferences and Eathow takes care of planning everything else. While anyone who cooks at home would find it useful, it would be p…
My wife and I have talked about the need for a recipe search based on the food we already have for a long time, so I like this idea!
Where do the recipes come from? I mean, do you add your own recipes?

#359I've been working on http://calmbird.io for some time now.
As a freelancer, I've had my fair share of miscommunications and various forms of unnecessary distractions. This tool is designed to solve this by giving you the tools to better manage feature planning and client communication.
Basically, I am trying to build a tool, which will largely automate having to send mundane emails to clients with status updates or having to respond to slack every couple of minutes.

#360My team and I are working on solving the 3 biggest problems in mobile app management - distribution, monetization, and enterprise mobility.
Our idea is to build a platform for discovering, managing, and monetizing apps. Kinda like a Spotify for Apps.
So essentially, we've built a mobile app that lets you run embeddable apps (applets) in containers (i.e. webviews with native hooks), and developers can hook the applets up to a mobile backend-as-a-service similar to Firebase.
Businesses can also use it to manage and setup shared workspaces that contain private, work-related apps, and get all the benefits of enterprise mobility (BYOD, security, etc) without all the complexity.
We've just finished a successful private beta and are gearing up for a limited public beta. Check it out - https://formelo.com
