It would auto-wrap code comments to a specified column number. It would also auto-wrap on delete or backspace. Still miss it because I want it for existing editors but I'm not interested in learning some random plugin API just to rewrite it.
The simple tool I'm most proud of is spiped. If you have two systems which need to be able to talk over TCP without worrying about evilness on the network between them, spiped is the answer. The simple tool which has probably had the largest impact is bsdiff -- now found used in hundreds of millions of devices -- but I'm not particularly proud of it because it was a quick hack and horrible code written by a C novice.…
In your thesis, you mention an updated algorithm that produces smaller patches. Do you have any code available that implements that algorithm?
It's a pretty simple tool that lets you bookmark and jump to directories. It's not that complicated but I use it pretty much constantly and it gives me a strange sense of satisfaction to have a project I can call "done". Everything I want to add to is merely packaging enhancements so that more people can use it.
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?
Last year, I launched https://devmarketing.xyz I'm really proud of it for a few reasons: 1. It was a response to an observed need. I was getting daily emails from devs asking me about product marketing. I believed that devs who learned marketing could be unstoppable when it comes to launching products. 2. I created it on the side, while working full-time. 3. In its first 3 months it did $28,433 in revenue. This allow…
We're a bunch of web devs out there doing "JavaScript code-golfing", for fun. The goal is to make mini apps, or mini-games, with the smallest possible source code. Here are some handy apps / cool demos that we've made: (the full list is here: https://gist.github.com/xem/206db44adbdd09bac424 ) - https://github.com/xem/miniSpeechSynthesis (73b+ speech synthetizer) - https://github.com/xem/miniSpeechRecognition (100b+ s…

https://unshorten.link I work in security and have a paranoia of shortened links (bit.ly, t.co). I got frustrated with the options out there that forced me to right click every shortened link or paste it into a site so I made this Chrome extension / web app. It is pretty simple and keeps a list of 300+ shortened link services to check against. If your browser ever visits one it redirects you to the site to expand the…
It's a simple time tracker. No cloud BS. It just uses local storage to track how long you've been working on any task.
I still have some features I'd like to add (like a countdown timer and clearing individual tasks), but I'm real happy with it and I've been using it at work to track my project time.
