1. Helping people run faster: https://cleverrun.com 2. Stats about where you spend your time: https://clevergeo.com 3. Something with pebble and it's accelerometer, probably related to sports.

cleverrun uses data from Run Keeper? I'm assuming it can pull in information from my Garmin somehow?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

It should be: Video transcoding in its simplest form.

Hey thanks davewasthere! I will correct in the next release.

Interesting reading about all your projects. I'm working on http://muscula.com Log JavaSript errors in production. It installs like Google Analytics.

Currently CleverRun only works with RunKeeper. However, RunKeeper should be able to pull Garmin stuff in, look at: http://runkeeper.com/apps/fit2app/47741 - Then CleverRun will be able to get that data from RunKeeper.

Will Muscula work on secure, logged-in pages?

I'm working on a mobile/web app that lets users track their medication intake. It will use nfc tags that you tap each time you take the medication, so there's no risk of taking it more than the recommended number of times daily. It will also keep track of an side-effects you experience and prompt you to call the nearest pharmacy for refills. At the moment, I think I will target Android for the mobile app.

SassyStudio, provides much needed support for SCSS in Visual Studio.

https://github.com/darrenkopp/sassystudio

Currently it supports compiling css (via libsass), syntax highlighting, outlining, and intellisense.

Computer algebra system that yields the steps it takes to produce a result. Mainly intended as an educational tool to help teach math. This is actually my first side project since I (re)learned to program a few months ago—everything I'm using to build this I learned at work.
