redditq - http://redditq.com/

Currently requires a physical keyboard to operate. Keyboard commands listed at https://github.com/markneub/redditq#navigation

redditq is an image browser for reddit. It features a minimal user interface and is designed to be controlled via keyboard shortcuts. This project was inspired by redditp[1], but I wanted to add support for image galleries and Flickr photo pages and experiment with a minimal UI. From a technical standpoint, I wanted practice using CommonJS modules for structuring my JavaScript, as well as using webpack for bundling static assets (including JS modules).

Rddt.tv - http://rddt.tv Reddit.tv was an app to watch videos posted to reddit but shut down back in January. Haven't been able to find a replacement that I liked, so I built my own. Made the videos full-screen by default and added extra stuff like support for Soundcloud embeds (so you could listen to music subreddits), a directory of video-posting subreddits, multireddits, keyboard shortcuts.

http://www.vumble.com/ is doing the same thing with a different UI FYI.

An automatic parallelizable language:

RxWrappers: https://github.com/RixianOpenTech/RxWrappers

MonadSharp: https://github.com/RixianOpenTech/MonadSharp

This is an idea in progress, but the idea is that by using the observable pattern (ReactiveX implementation) you can describe a sort of 'meta' program that breaks down function boundaries to automatically run your code in parallel. Here is my initial paper describing the idea: http://rixianopentech.github.io/MonadSharp/Documents/Computa...

Kespry - http://www.kespry.com/

We provide a drone to the (primarily aggregates/mining) industry that can create highly detailed survey quality maps. Our customers can use the data in measuring the volume of their material (stockpiles) and in planning a big project, construction, etc. Basically anything you can imagine someone would need information about a physical location from above.

We develop the full stack in house. In that I mean electronics (PCB board level), drone hardware (mechanical), low-level embedded software, and flight controller software. We also develop an iPad app that allows customers to easily operate the drone autonomously.

We also do all the data processing, using photogrammetry and open source mapping frameworks and tools (gdal) and provide users with a web interface via our Cloud platform for them to view, manipulate and download their data.

Personally: http://pentacular.com - Draw/paint a song. I think it's fun to play with.

Professionally: https://tailorbrands.com - Algorithmically designed logos and branding assets. It's great for side projects, inspiration, or any other situation where you want something quick and usable.
