http://imgur.com/QUGUkxa PAGS: Programming Assignment Grading System. I'm a Msc student and a teaching assitant. Grading programming assignments of students takes so much time because of preparing files, environments, viewing code, multipe outputs etc. Besides my research, I developed this Docker based web application, where assignments are Dockerfile + run script + required/supplied/output files.

Main motivation: I can grade ~80 student projects in at most 1 hour, even looking at code besides their output. It took almost 2 days before, and repetitive tasks made me lose my mind. It keeps me sane, and saves me tremendous time. http://pags.cs.bilkent.edu.tr

In early March I whipped up http://Listen2EDM.com because I was tired of searching for new music manually through SoundCloud, GrooveShark/Spotify still sort of required discovery, and Pandora just didn't fit my personal pain-point.

While social media stats are meek, it's averaging about 32000 minutes played back each day (~400 uniques/day; ~2000/week). This has motivated me to develop it further and make the UI a bit more friendly, as well as features. The current iteration is http://i.imgur.com/Y6uNgkC.png

This is brilliant. We recently showcased another course doing something very similar.

Looks like an area someone could create a company :)

I published my first chrome extension the other day. Its a very simple UI tweak (http://i.imgur.com/QoTK0N6.png) that adds buttons to move through Youtube videos frame by frame. You can also use mouse wheel to scroll through frames, which has lent it the name 'Frame Scroll'.

Its on the Chrome store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/frame-scroll-for-y...

and I wrote a short blog post: http://michaelyockney.com/frame-scroll-extension-for-chrome/
