http://hamsterdb.com - a C++ key/value store. hamsterdb is AFAIK the only key/value store which supports typed keys (i.e. uint32, uint64, blobs). under the hood the btree optimizes the memory layout for this type, just like a column store DBMS does. I'm now moving slowly towards adding analytical functions, but it's still a long way to go.

Almost all of the little spare time I have goes into http://Codepoints.net , presenting and explaining Unicode codepoints. Edit: The page is fully open source: https://github.com/Boldewyn/Codepoints.net

Nice design and a great resource. Unicode is a complex beast, and making it easier to navigate and understand is a worthwhile goal, if only to improve how Joe Programmer deals with non-English text.

I built a SSL certificate store GetSSL.me[0] and so far it has been really great. Our goal is to make SSL certificates available to everyone.

This website: http://crimemapping.edmontonpolice.ca/ the data go back by only a few months so I cache them in a file and always update with new ones.

My pet project is the development of the concept of "mind map for programming" (mm4p). It is a mix between literate programming and visual programming with the capacity to work with text file and any programming language you want.

My feel good project is Sahana Eden.
