1. A community driven listing of events around you - http://sntd.pw - https://github.com/caulagi/sntd 2. A website for children to share their toys - http://toystori.com - https://github.com/caulagi/toystori

the toy sharing idea is really nice!

I hate to be the guy who points this out, but heads up--you have an extra apostrophe in "its" on the front page. Normally I'd keep quiet, but since it's your headline...

Didn't get it, what are you talking about?

It should be:

Video transcoding in its simplest form.

A simple script (in linux, windows or whatever) could do that no problem. In fact, I'm pretty sure something like: find -iname " .txt " -exec mv -v {} /home/user \; or mv .mp3 /whatever/folder/youd/like mv .jpg /repeat/as/many/times/as/needed would work. Is this what you had in mind? Hope I'm not way off base here. EDIT: for some reason Hacker News edited out my asterisks and the letters within are displayed as itali…

Yep exactly! I know that it could be done via bash or a batch file. I just wanted to solve this usual problem with a simple project that also allows me to learn more about Scala since it's used at where I work.

Ah, I see! Well that's as good of a place to start as any. Good luck in your endeavours.

Visualizing crime of a city I am moving into: https://github.com/radekstepan/deadmonton GitHub Burndown Chart: https://github.com/radekstepan/github-burndown-chart

Cool map. Edmontonians don't generally like their city referred to as "Deadmonton". However, the nickname rings true on so many levels. Good luck with your move. Is it soon?

Docker replacement with emphasis on tool reusability. Docker made incremental builds right, and I love the idea. However, it reimplemented the whole tooling around it instead of using what's in there.

It will support FreeBSD/ZFS/Jails and Linux/LVM|BTRFS|ZFS/LXC on the first release. My goal is to re-use existing tooling as much as possible.

I am writing it in Haskell.

What I would like in something like that is the ability to push from outside an image to be used. Docker has push to a central location and then you need to pull from it which makes it harder for a small setup like mine.
