https://www.hiroapp.com - Note-taking reduced to the core that just works™. Offline first, no signup needed, easily sharable (url, sms, email) and (web)realtime sync between all devices and collaborators. My co-founder and I moved on to a new project a year ago, but this thing is still buzzing along on a cheap DO box and works like a charm with basically zero maintenance. Frontend is vanilla JS, backend in Go and the…

#54Splitons is a simple Offline web application to split costs between friends (www.splitons.com).
It has been a mobile first development using AngularJs, Bootstrap and font-awesome.
Splitons takes advantage of AppCache, websockets and local storage to provide the best user experience possible. There is a clear separation between the Ui and the service thanks to a simple reusable Api.
At this moment, the application takes care of about 150 projects, users are regularly providing feedbacks and thanks email. They really enjoyed not having to install another application and how easy it is to share a project.
Because it is an open source project (https://github.com/Paraintom/Splitons), one user sent me a pull request that I accepted to improve the Ui some months ago.
Please try and give me a feedback!

#55I'm not sure whether "proud" is the right adjective, but that batch file I wrote when I was 12 or 13 which moves all images from the Desktop into a folder called "images" has been the single most useful thing I've ever written.

#57I also made a firefox extension about 10 years ago that let you restart an animated gif (there's a config option to make them only play once). I was surprised to learn people were still using in FF 3.6.

#58I see it as the beginning of a platform to change how individuals (or mankind) manage knowledge overall. I'm now working on exploiting the internals for collaboration (linking instances, sharing data, subscribing to each others' data, mobile, etc).
For current org-mode or evernote users: The app has export (& finicky import) features to convert anything to (or from) an indented plain-text outline. The FAQs have links to a discussion of a more detailed comparison with org-mode that seemed somewhat well-received at the time (the link is on this page which also discusses evernote: http://onemodel.org/1/e-9223372036854614741.html ).
Feedback or participation are appreciated. If one has any interest at all, I suggest signing up for the (~monthly?) announcements list at least. More details are at the web site, including some FAQs.
