I worked on javelinbrowser.com, but it's now lay to waste due to the focus I have to put into my startup.

Anyone wanna take it over? Send me a mail.

I've been building a program that plays Yahoo! Fantasy sports. http://fantasybots.com . It updates your roster every morning in case you forget or have too many teams to keep track of. Also great when you only care about the draft party and don't want the grind of actually coaching. Currently looking for beta testers!

I'm game for beta testing it.

Awesome! If you have any trouble with the signup on the site feel free to contact me through the link in the footer.

I'm working on a receipt-saving service for small businesses/freelancers: https://receiptron.com/ The goal is to make it the easiest way to save receipts. No app to install, no complicated expense report forms to fill out, just take a picture of the receipt with your phone camera, email it to our specially-trained robots, and it gets saved and sorted for you for later.

This is neat. Are you using OCR to extract data from receipts?

A high performance database-as-a-service platform that provides NoSQL and SQL access. http://www.amisalabs.com/

JackDB already does this?

JackDB from what I see does not store your data. They provide a browser based tool to connect to your SQL databases. Amisalabs platform on the other hand is a DBaaS where you can store any kind of data and run any kind of queries.
