#182I'm rethinking the computer. The hardware, the software, the UI paradigms, everything. Xerox PARC 2.0. - We must stop writing UI by hand - We must adopt a new language that's less ambiguous - We must prefer graphs to trees - We must not build service-specific apps and websites - We must stop thinking of computer hardware as a personal device, and make switching from a device to another completely seamless - Local sto…
We have surprisingly identical ambitions. BVic's "Future of Programming" is particularly relevent to several of your points and really puts how terrible our current system is in context.... https://vimeo.com/71278954 I feel like this sentiment (of "everything is wrong") is gaining traction recently (last year/two). Maybe it's just wishful thinking though...
Although some people seem to share our understanding that things must change, it usually stops there.
I haven't seen anyone present a radically new paradigm for computing (especially consumer UI) in the last decade.
I intend to change that.

#184Spent the last 3 months building Tasktopus (https://gumroad.com/l/ADWm/tasktopus).
Tasktopus is a lightweight, task manager for the desktop (Mac OS X, Windows and Linux).
Tasks are managed on a Kanban-style board with Backlog, Doing, Done and Archived columns.
Built using Qt.

#185Earlier quoted context omitted.
iOS Safari 9 doesn't like your SSL setup and throws a certificate warning. This is usually due to a missing intermediate and/or chained certificate file.
Actually, it's because the DNS name doesn't match that of the cert. My current side project tells me: Hostname/IP doesn't match certificate's altnames: "Host: getplaya.com. is not in the cert's altnames: DNS:www.baqqer.com, DNS:baqqer.com"
I spoke too soon! This happened to me last week because of a missing intermediate cert.

I intend to do that too. Why don't we all get on a chat room and work at it?

Let's get together and work on this. There's nothing more important at this time and era of technology.

#189I've been keeping busy with re:search, an Amazon product review search, mining and insights, http://research.oneiros.cc
An interface on top of a learning algorithm that would alert users when certain conditions are met (certain word mentioned for example) as part of an Amazon customer review.
POC version would allow users to subscriber to products sold on Amazon and search through its reviews, as well as get some basic statistics about lexic patterns in reviews (positive or negative, most common words...). Based on the initial adoption the learning algorithm would come into play and provide suggestions and insights based on customer reviews.

#190I am building an app that helps Canadian homebuyers research and get more information on neighbourhoods. It's still in the early stages but I am looking to overlay more information.
Would love your feedback on the usability of the app. Also looking for help to continue growing the website.
