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…
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…
Oh man, I've been a fan of your app for so long! Have you ever considered an official iOS app? I think it's the only thing that keeps me from leaving Apple Notes.

I think the most popular app that derives from that code is TaskMator:

I might make another iOS app for TaskPaper at some point. But as an individual developer splitting myself across multiple projects and multiple platforms becomes painful pretty quickly.
https://shellshare.net I have migrated my wife's (then girlfriend) computer to Linux and sometimes I had to configure something on her computer (e.g. a printer). This ended up generating lots of back and forth on the phone with me telling her commands to write in the terminal, and she reading the output out loud. I wanted an easy way to see her terminal. So shellshare was born. Shellshare allows you to run a single c…
wget -qO shellshare http://get.shellshare.net && python shellshare Please don't tell people to do this. This is an idiom called "curl pipe sh"; you're asking people to run whatever code someone on their network decides to send them. As an absolute minimum, you should change that http to https , so that they're merely running whatever code YOU decide to send them; but even that doesn't quite fit with the "share your t…
A simple warmup calculator for my workouts. Use it multiple times a week.

When Turntable.fm folded, I was sad. I wanted to learn sockets, so I built this. It's like Turntable, but uses YouTube videos instead of actual songs. Bugs galore, but I use it at work almost every day.

I spent most of my free time the last 1.5 years to make this 4-player iPad game together with my brother (developer) and two cousins (graphics).
Considering that it was our first Swift and SpriteKit project (my dayjob is programming business applications in Java), I am pretty proud of the outcome. It even got some reviews (one with a 92% rating!).
The only problem is, we completely underestimated how hard it is these days to get downloads for an old-fashioned "pay once for the whole thing" game. Currently we are in the process of converting it to a free to play model, hoping that more people try it. Wish us luck!
When Android was pretty new, I got the myTouch (the second public Android device) and was surprised that there was no way to easily see the exact battery level. I'd been a hobbyist programmer for quite some time, and it seemed like a problem I might be able to tackle. The result was Android's first battery indicator app, which remains by far the most-used piece of software I've ever built, with over 8 million downloads.

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…
