Syscast: https://sysca.st/

High quality screencasts that teach open source technologies. Instead of having blogposts where you blindly copy/paste and pray it works, this aims to really teach you how it works and show the why of each configuration, instead of just the how.

It's a web application that generates the astrological interpretation of a person's chart using traditional astrology methods. I hope next week to start selling the Temperament analysis.

Sunshine! https://thesunshine.co Weather forecasts generated using sensors in smartphones. We use both crowdsourced reports of the current weather conditions and barometric pressure data from iPhones to create more accurate and local weather forecasts.

Thats a cool ( perhaps hot) idea. I would love to try it, dont have an iphone though. Are you planning an android version in future?

Thanks! And yes absolutely, we are building our Android app right now (I'm the Android developer actually). If you send an email to android@thesunshine.co I'll add you to the Beta list!

Add.Ninja: https://add.ninja

We wanted to make a website where people could give back to charity without having to make a direct financial contribution. So we are using sponsored content to see if people can find something they want to read, and support good causes in this manner. Our end goal will probably not involve using links from Outbrain, or Taboola, unlike our current product.

Feedback would be appreciated!

Warp: http://warp.one

I want this to be the swiss army knife for all your data analysis/grunt work. Key features are (1) work on small data set then repeat operation on the full dataset so you can work faster, (2) query by doing what you would do in Excel and (3) make loading and moving data super easy and fun to do!

Wave Gliders: http://www.liquid-robotics.com

It's a wave-powered, autonomous sensor platform built for longevity at sea. We do things like monitor salinity in the arctic, circle oil platforms looking for leaks, track tagged mammals on migration, and do coordinated fleet maneuvers for ocean floor mapping and exploration.
