A cross-platform dual-pane file manager [1]. It made the front page and top 10 on Product Hunt last month. I'm busy implementing feature requests and figuring out a way to grow it sustainably. [1]: https://fman.io

Feature requests (windows): a right-click context menu, remove confirmation dialog box on drag and drop.

Thanks for the requests. The first is already captured by an issue [1]. If you thumbs-up there it will be moved up in priority. For the second, I'd ask you to file a new issue.

Thanks, Michael

Like Ricochet ( https://ricochet.im/ )?

Kind of, but more anonymous and not tied to tor. More like Bitmessage ( https://bitmessage.org ) but with a fresh approach. You can connect via tor (tor-tor) and talk to people on i2p, or clearnet, sneakernet, etc.

Sounds really interesting. Would you mind shooting me an email at aakil at safezero dot org?

I'm working on http://chatwoot.com . Problem: Customer support still depends on age-old channels like email and phone while the world is moving fast ahead. People want instant replies to queries and all the brands have an online/phone presence. But none of them are leveraging these channels for effective customer support. Solution: Chatwoot. It's an app for multi-channel customer support. You can connect your brand's…

A lot of customer support platforms already started offering chat features a few years ago. (I used to work in the industry.) The same can be said for Facebook and Twitter integration.

I've recently been working on a simple-to-use birthday reminder service (simple as in: no need to open any accounts, no need to ever login anywhere, no passwords etc.): https://ReminderExpress.com Just finished working on v1 of this a few minutes ago, by sheer coincidence; it should now be fully functional.

I like this idea where the service does not need any accounts, just an email address. Do you have plans to monetise it?

@mlejva https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/announcing-youtube-8... - half a million hours of video, with item bounding box metadata to boot. Or if "simple" is the hard part, just YouTube and your favorite keyword - "animation", "minimalist", "simple", etc. The advantage of your problem space is that any video will provide a TON of input data, since you get 1500-3600 frames for every minute of video.

I'm working on two different side-projects, and have been for far too long - working may be a bit of a stretch. The first is a CRM for job searchers, turning a must-have from the business world around. The second one is a password/secret manager with audit as a first-class citizen, focused on enterprise sharing and reporting.

I have a "fun" one too, to build a Google Moderator clone as a hosted service. I'm doing that as my intro to Serverless, and will probably do a write-up of how to build and launch on AWS with little/no fixed-cost.

What exactly is the problem? Finding the prime factors of numbers? Or doing it fast?

basically doing it fast for large integers. Here is the challenge I am working toward: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge

If you have a breakthrough and start factoring RSA numbers and >=1000 bit composites (edit: on a system that costs less than 100 billion $), I would definitely start thinking about OpSec and finding a nice signal free place to crash. Good luck :)

Myself and a technical partner are working on a linting SAAS project that comments on style issues right on the PR in GitHub. As the non-technical partner I am working on optimizing conversion and prioritizing product work. We check style for 11 languages and looking for feedback on what to tackle next, or fix in the current product. Here is the page if you want to check it out: www.stickler-ci.com.

I 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.

Thanks for the heads up, it appears something has changed in the social login code since I put it up in 2015.

I am working on version 2, so I hope to have this fixed soon. I am doing a complete redesign and moving from a custom database engine I build over to a well know open source db. It has been slow going.

I created an API (that is still a WIP) to provide forecast data pretty cheaply. Last fall I was working on another side project(that got shelved) that needed weather data, and I was blown away by how expensive most of the other APIs are if you need quite a lot of data.

Shoot me a message if you'd like a trial token to do some tire kicking.
