I used Projekktor. The paid version has VAST support and works quite well: http://www.projekktor.com/
does vast also work in flash-mode ?
Google Glass app that streams subtitles from Netflix, Hulu, or even cable TV. I rely heavily on subtitles to watch TV (I'm very hard-of-hearing), but I've found that my [hearing] friends don't like subtitles very much. It would make my life 10 million times easier if I could watch TV with subtitles or closed captioning without having to subject my friends to that as well. I don't know jack shit about Google Glass, bu…
I remember an app demo in my last hackathon: when reading the Bible in hebrew, English translation appeared on Glass. Your idea isn't hard to work on, but I don't have a glass to do it.
A simple service for setting up and running jobs/workers without having to run a server. Ideally, it would have the following features: * Pay once, run forever (pay for the job up front and never again -- no recurring billing to worry about) * Configure once, run forever (use Docker/LXC in the background to allow custom environments and absolve the user of the dependency headaches that can arise when running multiple…
Travel Assistant While travelling I like to keep family and friends involved up to date about my travel plans - itinerary changes, delayed flights, boarded flight, landed flight, etc. Instead of a pushing updates by texting 3-4 different people, I want to be able to provide an update in one place, say, on the Travel Assistant app, and my family can receive appropriate updates.
Doesn't www.tripit.com do exactly this?

I feel like this is a symptom of a far larger problem, the need for yelp for medical care in general. Its kind of shitty that there is absolutely no way to quality and price compare medical providers. Also, good luck with the transition, I have a friend going through something similar, its definitely not an easy thing.
ZocDoc?

The app you're talking about is Word Lens: http://questvisual.com/us/ .
I've been sitting on this gem for a while. I present to you: The Bruce Wayne Gap Year. Wealthy people with desires to become Batman can more-or-less do so. First they sign a waiver and an NDA, removing any liability from the Bruce Wayne Gap Year company. Then they'll pay the company tens of thousands of dollars to pay for what is to come. They'll be put into a real criminal gang [1], and taken around the world gettin…
Wealthy people who are in a physical condition to do this, don't have time. Wealthy people who have time, don't have health. And those who have both, won't even talk to you.

I second the need for something like this. This kind of tool can be used for clearly communicating scope and even aid estimation of timelines because it shows all the complexity.
Cool that you agree. Are your projects structured similarly?
An IDE like this could be applicable to any multi-month project with sufficient requirements complexity.
Idea: Tree of knowledge Ever been interested in a topic that once you google you end up with explanations(quite often on wikipedia) that rely on foundational knowledge you didn't even know you should have? And then you started working your way back by googling things you didn't know until you hit something you do know and from that point you try to inch your way forward to the original topic just to get discouraged a…
I'm working on a project called Pointers (ptrs.io) that is exactly this.
A bit lame maybe but here it goes: The "Ready for Battle alarm clock". An alarm clock that wakes you up with your favourite quotes from video games or movies such as: - Rise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has.…
that would be cool, but wearing glasses while sleeping is not recommended.
