http://www.betthebill.com/ It's a simple website that randomly picks someone to pay for the entire bill when eating as a group. But unlike credit card roulette, your odds of paying are proportional to your meal's cost, so your expected value is fair. I know it's simple, but it was my first foray into javascript and d3 and angular. I am proud of how it turned out.

Lol this is awesome, and most importantly, it looks great on mobile too

http://www.averageweather.io/ - tool to make planning for travel much easier. When you are too far out for a forecast, I found myself taking too many clicks to get average weather data. EDIT - Whoa. Getting lots of traffic. This site is like 3 days old and I taught myself python and django to build it. Open to any recommendations at jonathan at averageweather dot io EDIT 2 - Back up... Site crash ... Google apps shut…

Looks like San Francisco will drop to 0 degrees on the 18th!! http://www.averageweather.io/averages/San%20Francisco/Califo...

http://worlddev.io Sms Lists is an sms craigslist for refugee camps. I made it after visiting a couple of refugee camps and realizing that it was really hard for business owners who made https://github.com/alando46/smslists

greate stuff! I feel that for things like this, the real problem to solve is getting it out to people, which might be why some programmers shy away from it. Though, I love stuff like this. Not everything needs to be disrupted by a pool of GPU-assisted tensorflow instances, low-tech is still way better than no-tech. Keep up the good work, and hmu if you need an extra hand

One weekend, to scratch my own long-time itch, I coded up a simple browser extension to display GitHub repo code in tree view [1]. It now also supports GitLab, works on Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari and has almost 90K users.

https://izuded.com (i.e., "iz u ded?") I made this because I adopted a puppy and realized that, if I got hit by a bus on a Friday, he could be stuck in his crate for days before anyone realized. Morbid, but useful. It texts you every X days and asks, "u ded?" -- if you don't click "naw" before X days pass, it'll notify your contacts. It's a portfolio project to show what I've learned in the realm of "serverless" arch…

"im ded :( plz walk doggie" Man, that's not how I would want to find out that a friend or family member has passed away. :-|

right? How horrible...

http://www.ghostnoteapp.com I made it because I couldn't find a developer to do a larger project I wanted to do based on the same principle. So I paid a developer to do this and now he is my partner and we are building the project I wanted to do to begin with. It's quite profitable for a small tool. It's based on the idea of contextual note taking which basically allow you to attach notes to all sorts of things like…

Sounds cool. Sort of what the people at Genius are attempting to do at some point?
