#863Lua Newsletter(still WIP): http://luadigest.immortalin.com Merlot (Rapid website builder, WIP): https://github.com/Immortalin/Merlot Kloudtrader (Trading platform): http://kloudtrader.com
The signup workflow sends me to luadigest.github at the end, which doesn't work. Insta-subscribed though, Lua's on my todo list. (PS. I tried to reply to your previous comment but found you'd deleted it, thankfully found this comment via your account)

It brings you back to the newsletter page. I have a bunch of projects that are still WIP and not quite ready for their own landing pages which is why Lua Digest uses a subdomain and also why immortalin.com does not redirect to a home page. I have been trying to get HTTPS working on the site but CloudFlare's requirement to transfer over DNS control is messing up a lot of site configs so it's currently non-https for no…
Does CloudFlare not interoperate with Let's Encrypt et al? That's not great...
(Also, did you get my email?)

#867http://bostontraintrack.com Real time tracking of Boston subways, buses and commuter rails. Made mostly in a weekend and available free and open source [1]. Though it's simple, I think it gives a nice overview of the trains and buses. Boston has stop prediction so in some sense it's kind of frivolous.

#868Unsubtitle for Netflix - Sometimes Netflix force subtitles to appear when you're watching series. I found it really annoying and decided to create this Chrome extension to disable it.
http://www.vua.sh/ - Vua.sh is a simple website that encrypts messages on the client side and stores only the encrypted message. It generates a link that can only be used once, after clicking on the link and reading the message it is destroyed from the database.

#869* Picnic CSS: a simple css library. I use it for both small projects from the CDN as medium projects with the SASS that I have carefully built: http://picnicss.com/ * cookies.js, a simple cookies library that uses a getter/setter style that I (and many people) like more. I'm considering taking the format and extend some other libraries like store.js. https://github.com/franciscop/cookies.js * drive-db, a tool that co…
I'm a fan of Umbrella JS, too.
