As programmers, you may have spent plenty of time on learning different skills or technologies. To practice them, you may have created some weekend projects which would not take your too long while implementing something you find interesting. So what's yours? What technology have you used?

#2Well, for myself recently I have used AngularJS to implement a simple news aggregator(http://www.pxlet.com). and deployed it within one day(Well to be honest, it's around couple of days because need to spend time finding the news sources). I find AngularJS is quite appealing to develop single page app. It handles the view and JS data model quite well.

#6I tried my hand at RiotJS to build https://apiblocks.com which is a way to see lots of API endpoints in one view. Specifically one point of data from each endpoint. It never got much traction and I had a couple of threads on here about it.
I still believe in the idea and have been working on it periodically, but I have started other projects since.

There appear to be more robust alternatives for both of these, so I’m curious what your “elevator pitch” would be for them?

That’s a neat idea. I’d love to know more details about what you’re monitoring? It feels like you’d need a Krebs on Security type level (and a lot of money to blow on purchasing data) to be really effective at scanning for leaks.

More or less a booking service that allows users to pick their bookable hours and set prices for those times. Then they just link others to their calendar, the others can pick the time that works best for them, and pay for that time. Took some advice from HN about renaming it, and should be releasing soon!
Currently talking to a few early testers and doing a bit of extra feature development to better fit into my target niche.
