My primary "thing" right now is a conference paper. On the side, I'm trying to work through a whole bloody lot of textbooks.

#72I launched http://paasifier.co last month. It's a open platform where developers can find the best Platform-as-a-Service for their apps by selecting runtime (Java, Ruby, Go, etc.) and database (MySQL, MongoDB, etc.). In the first days I got more than 1K visits and I'm trying to monetize it by using affliate marketing for PaaS Providers.
The platform was built with Rails + PostgreSQL

#73I wrote http://scridx.com a screenplay search engine on christmas last year. It's doing a decent amount of daily traffic. Go server backed by Elasticsearch running on a $5/month VPS. 300 daily uniques at the moment. I've been interested in screenwriting for a long time and that really starts with reading screenplays. All the websites out there were really horrible, I felt like writers had really been neglected in the digital age.

#74My team built a spin off project to create an office directory / floor plan for your small business / co-working space. http://www.floorplan.io/
Tech-stack wise it's not all that interesting, but we've seen it help a lot of small companies on-board people / meet their coworkers more easily, so that's been fun.

#75I love threads like this - so inspiring. At the same time, reminds me how much of a lazy ass I am. I have like 10 side projects that I have about 0.005% complete right now. Any advice for a guy like me? (besides, "stop being a lazy ass", I already know that...haha)
I've had the same problem too. Focus on one project and work on it at least 30 minutes every day. It will be much easier to get motivation once you'll see progress

#76I've been working on a little quizzing SaaS: http://jquizzy.com Tech: Laravel on HHVM + Postgres plus a lot of little things. History: Did a soft launch of the beta sometime ago on HN. No comments here but drove a bunch of traffic and feedback so I'm iterating.
I am really interested in idea of online quizzes. Do you need any help? If yes, how would i contact you?
sid at ssiddharth dot com or sid at jquizzy dot com. Thanks!

#77Exploring real-time geospatial relationships between data.
Tech: Kafka, Apache Camel, Storm.
Recently started as part of the hackzurich hackathon; essentially: easy access to geo-analytics using existing datasets. Quite similar to the ArcGIS Server (with pluggable Geo-data feeds) in theory.
Demo from the hackathon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2TkuzsUG9U (in this version: map tweets with mentions to origin + destination, analyse for sentiment -> show sentiment towards a certain area)

Anything I can try using? rememberlenny @ gmail if there is. I'd like to try with graffiti.

#79Spokes http://spokesapp.co It's coffee networking with a twist and I should be launching towards the end of the year. Sign-up now and I'll let you know as soon as the beta starts. Tech used: Swift, Node.JS, Koa.js, Neo4j.
I REALLY like this idea. There are a number of times that I've wished something like this was out there (but not so meetup-esque). Is this planned to be a global/national/local type deal or what? Also, just FYI, I had to resize my screen to make the submit clickable.
I'm planning to launch in London for an early private beta, but when I launch publicly I will launch globally (well, at least the US + UK as they're both english speaking) as it seems uncomfortable to launch a product online and then also have to gate it substantially.
Thanks for the tip RE: submit button - what browser + OS was that? I've only been testing on OSX so far!
