I'm still working on http://funnelpump.com - a communication tool for early customer development / sales leads. Helps you grind that list and get those deals, forcing functions to drop unproductive leads

Nice idea. I like the focus on simplicity, and you could sell this as Docker container to folks who don't want to be on anyone else's cloud (e.g. salesforce.com).

Watch this space! I've got a less publicly visible install that is going through "beta". Roadmap is foggy.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor (including, code, images and tutorial). The main draft is almost done, but quite some polishing to do.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/shibusa An automatic Zen Garden drawing infinite patterns in sand. Using stepper motors, inverse kinematics and a Raspberry Pi Zero W (including, code, images and tutorial). I'm almost done building the robot, but still have quite some implementation to do. Also, the guide is far from done, I've mostly uploaded images so far.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch (including, code, images and tutorial). I don't know where you draw the life of "half baked". It's done, but there's a lot of improvements that can be done.

A birdfeeder, a security camera, and this python script: https://github.com/ctrager/opencv_py/blob/master/red_yellow_... I want to record visits to my birdfeeder but not all the visits. 99% of the visitors are sparrows, which, no offense to any sparrows reading this, are dull colored. I want to capture the cardinals, bright red birds. The python script monitors the video stream and starts recording when the image get…

That's really neat! What is the hardware set up - how does it interface with the camera?

I think it's a little bit beyond "half" baked, but I built a thing I call Logsuck last year: https://github.com/jackbister/logsuck The idea is to have a free Splunk alternative which you can set up with just one binary. I use Splunk at work and love it, but it just doesn't seem like a product for solo developers (I can't even find a pricing page on splunk.com), and the primary free alternative, the ELK stack, seems a…

Is the aim to have this production ready as an alternative to ELK/Splunk? Or is it more of a tool for local development?

I like e-mails, and I was pretty sad when YouTube removed the e-mail notifications for channel uploads, so I decided to build my own. It's pretty unpolished, but it has the MVP (sends e-mails, opt-in per channel and very basic billing management).

This is my first ever project that takes any payments and I have only one paying customer so far, but I don't really expect to make any money out of it. Feedback will be highly welcomed at contact@domainname.

A massively multiplayer game with a fresh start every time, that's easy to learn and easy to start having fun, doesn't guilt you into playing (healthy long-term relationship with the player), and has lots of replay value: http://vnav.io Currently there are multiple major bugs with damage.

This is an awesome game!
