#32Experimental scraping tools in Clojure.
Right now I'm focused on what we need for https://foldapp.com, supplementing what we've already built (first Python, then Scala).

#34I've been having fun the last few months by creating and launching! The latest of which seems to have struck a chord: MailScope
http://www.mailscope.io adds profile data to your existing mailing list. Why? Well, if you don't ask for firstname and lastname on signup, you'll get increased conversion. But if you then want to get increased open and click rates when you actually send email, you should start personalizing (one way is to use firstnames in the body) and segmenting. That's where MailScope comes in. Each new subscriber you get, MailScope will automatically add firstname, lastname (and other profile data).
It's just the start and I've been having great fun expanding the possibilities - alerting you when an 'influencer' signs up so that you can reach out directly; auto-following subscribers on twitter when they signup. I've already got a dozen or so paying customers who use MailScope to enrich their mailing lists and increase their revenues. It's awesome to have learnt so much here on HN and finally be able to start offering something of real value back to business owners.

#35We're currently building a desktop based time tracking application for ourselves, later we will release to everyone. Our main goal is to bring us back on track on our personal projects. Also billing solution for our consulting work.
I'm really interested in this! I've basically strung together some text files but occasionally lose a couple of hours tinkering to see if there's a better way. What backend are you going for? If it's Linux-compatible I'd love to beta test for you when you're ready.
Nice to hear that you are interested in out application. We are making it compatible for all platforms. Application base is Electron/NodeJS and views using ReactJS. Sure we will send you the application once the beta is ready. Thanks. Peace

#36Over winter break I made a multiplayer online Connect 4 game.
The twist is, it's a single page app that doesn't use any JS tags.
You can play it on my test server here [1]. Consider it a puzzle to figure out how it works.
If you want to see the source, it's on GitHub here [2].

#37A Raspberry Pi/Toggl button-board - where each button represent a client. Press it and time starts tracking in Toggl.
I was planning on building something similar for my homegrown time tracking system. Then I realized that I almost always start or switch projects by going to an email from the client. I setup a hotkey to run some AppleScript that grabs the current client from the from address in the email.

#38A networking and chapter "history documentation" site for alumnus of my fraternity. There's a facebook page for alumni, but since many of them are older people, it rarely sees use and many alumni don't even have a facebook page.
The biggest hurdle in the design right now is figuring out a mechanic to encourage people to visit the site regularly

#39I wonder if you and I are working on the same thing. ;) I'm building infrastructure that I'm hoping will be needed to complete the Stockfighter trading puzzles. ( Hoping , because it's entirely possible that I will be lied too far less than the documentation leads me to believe, and I won't need all of this sanity checking.)
Good visualization is super helpful. The current levels don't require that much infrastructure. The level descriptions do deceive a little - just figure your own ways to the winning conditions. (I finished level 6. Now building a limit order book in golang for the heck of it)
Urrgh. I should have put up a "Be dreadfully careful with your replies, lest they maybe contain spoilers." warning.
Mea culpa. :P
