https://bolagslistan.nu - Delivers a list each month of all the recently registered companies in Sweden. You get information on what they do, where they are located, and so on, and I'm building a tool around this information to make it easy for people to search by industry, region, etc. And yes, I have customers! :)
Ask HN: What is your side project for 2017?

#62Simple "email this link to me" service. If I find something interesting, I want to be able to click a button (chrome extension/bookmarklet) that will extract the text from that page, format it nicely and email it to me (preferably to a separate Gmail label). I can then read it from my email client (iOS/Android email app) during my commute. I don't want the overhead of a complete app like Evernote or Pocket.
Google Inbox allows you to do exactly this by saving links in your inbox through a sharing intent on Android or a Chrome extension on desktop.

#69I believe that people want help finding "smart home" devices that will work well with the existing equipment in their home, and that they would pay good money for that because buying the wrong equipment is a frustrating (and expensive) mistake. I'm building a way to help you pick the connected equipment that will work best for your home, based on what you want to control, how you want to control it, and the equipment…
Just one suggestion, can you offer information on device security also? A collection of devices may work well together, but if I was buying a smart home device I'd want to be informed of any security issues as they're discovered. The escalations in DDoS size that we saw in 2016 were supposedly driven by a high number of insecure smart home/IoT devices, I'd like to do what I can to stop this becoming a trend.
That's a great idea.
Do you have any devices in your house, yet?
