The things I have made that I am most proud of are: * https://standardresume.co/ - Started because I couldn't find a resume that I liked. * https://amplitudeapp.com/ - A more advanced artist radio style playlist maker. * http://rediscover.rile.yt/ - Automatically save Spotify discover weekly playlists.
I've been using an IFTTT recipe for saving the weekly playlists. Works like a charm. https://ifttt.com/applets/311873p
http://saasful.com Successful. That's what I want for my SaaS developers. Whatever your core product is, it's always going to need - billing integration with Stripe - user authentication (for your customers) - access control (so you can drop in support) You can pull this off (of course!) but do you really want to deal with this portion at all? Wouldn't you rather focus on driving traffic, writing blogs, adding new fe…
I don't downvote but, to speculate on the answer to your question, I think you crossed the line by going into sales pitch mode
rsync.net. I am very, very proud of the (very simple) platform that we've built there. It's a basic tool that "just works" - and just works exactly like you'd expect it to . If I were a consumer of cloud storage, this is what I would want it to look like. It pleases me so greatly to know that, right now, someone is doing something like this: pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh user@rsync.net "dd of=db_dump" ... while simult…
http://bostontraintrack.com Real time tracking of Boston subways, buses and commuter rails. Made mostly in a weekend and available free and open source [1]. Though it's simple, I think it gives a nice overview of the trains and buses. Boston has stop prediction so in some sense it's kind of frivolous. I think the biggest 'innovation' was to integrate the "map icons" into a nicely visualized open street map [2]. Not s…
https://www.taskpaper.com Plain-text todo list: 1. To create a project, type a line ending with a colon. 2. To create a task, type a line starting with a dash followed by a space. 3. Everything else is a note. 4. To create a tag, type the @ symbol followed by a name. 5. Tab to indent and create outline structure. TaskPaper started as few days TextEdit hack in 2006. It's no longer a "tiny" project in terms lines of co…
I built https://cronitor.io after having an important cron job fail silently for several days. When I mentioned this problem to a friend his first response was "we just had a major issue with cron failing silently at my work too". We decided to hack on it together, and we've since grown Cronitor from a tool built for our own needs into a small business with a couple hundred paying customers.
As someone about to write a cron job, what ways do you see Cron fail? My assumption is that cron is robust and reliable, it's the job script itself that may fail silently and need monitoring, yes?

https://wootboard.com Draw something and share it. Like jsFiddle for drawings. In need of a rewrite and mobile support, but pretty useful if you just want to scribble something down and share it. And I like the borderless canvas :)
A python clone of an old disk space visualizer that I used before I migrated away from windows. Nobody else has used mine, and it's very much a work in progress, but it works and I use it frequently.
