How are you handling the actual accessing of user's finance data? Automatically via API? Or having them maintain a ledger?

For now it's manual input. A lot of folks balk at this, but I find I do better when I'm forced to thoughtfully engage with my budget. For example, my wife and I are primarily concerned about improving our grocery spending. This means that we only have to input spending 2 or 3 times each week. It's really not a burden, and really helps keep our use of the app simple. All of the other spending that goes through our che…

You might let people download their bank's CSV dumps and parse them with something like reckon-- https://github.com/cantino/reckon

I have been wrestling with a solution to help wage and part time workers find work in short distances and avoid unnecessary commuting costs. This is especially true since the type of jobs these people do can be produced and consumed by almost everyone. A beta webapp is here http://1milejobs.com . We will be coming up with mobile versions later.

I great idea but it needs more explanation. May be some video showing the benefits and how to use.

We just put it up 3 days ago. We will add that. Thanks

I'm working on a todo list with a Seinfeld calendar. My take is that there are only three categories: Work, Home, Personal. There are two buckets of tasks, Short term and long term. You'd move long term tasks into the short term when you start working on them. At the beginning of the week, you'd move the tasks from the short term into the day of the week that you planning to work on them. The catch is, you can only w…

Please add me to your list tom at blendah.com

I am rebuilding a 1981 Suzuki GS750E. I find it really helps to get away from my desk once in a while. I have never done any mechanical work before and I am having fun and learning a lot. I highly recommend it as an alternative to starting yet another project. When I don't feel like working on that or am waiting for parts, I am building an original arcade game. Its in the really early stages but I hope to house it in…

I did this with a 1981 Honda cb750 two winters ago. I also had no prior mechanical knowledge and found it incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. There was an amazing online community dedicated to the motorcycle that I have that was incredibly helpful. I'd recommend this to anyone willing to put in the work.

Edit: I should add that this bike now my daily rider. I could afford a much newer and nicer bike, but I don't think I'll ever sell this one given how much work I put into it and how familiar I am with its internals.

I am currently working on an app that let's you send messages which can only be read in certain a moonlight - similar to the moon letters in The Hobbit. Trying to tie digital messages to the real world. MoonLetter http://moonletter.com

This is completely awesome :).

I'm trying to create a platform that connects multiple blogging platforms together. In other words, if you are a blogger/writer and have an account in multiple places (medium, tumblr, etc..) you can write your article in one place and we can post it to all connected platforms. Similar to bufferapp.com but for blogging. What do you think?

Thanks wturner! If you ever want to develop a plugin for hya, feel free to contact me for any info or support you need.

I don't have the time or the know how for that to be honest. I do think you're ahead of the curve in terms of the opportunities that are possible. If I were you I would seriously try and pitch your know-how to Yamaha or some of the other music instrument companies about building things in this realm. I heard a talk by Chris Lowis that Yamaha was exploring the web audio api for MIDI devices etc.

I'll probably try that. I'm trying to expand the project, currently.

I just finished version 1 of my product called Pushed. It's an on premise mobile push notification server for companies that don't want to utilize cloud providers for this service. It supports iOS and Android. It includes some unique features like encrypting secondary content as well as Active Directory intergration for user authentication. Check it out here http://www.abrumpo.com/Products?p=pushed
