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.

painting the song is actually fun! ^^

Prelude - https://www.getprelude.net/

A progressive web app for improving music sight reading skills. (Also perfect pitch identification ability.)

I wasn't happy with my sight reading speed, so I've been building this to help myself practice. Some distinguishing features:

- Web MIDI, to connect to a MIDI keyboard you can use to "answer" the practice questions (works in Chrome for Android or Desktop)

- Web App Manifest, to allow adding to your home screen / desktop and getting a native app feel

- Service Worker (via sw-precache), for offline access (and cache-first loading when online, so it always loads fast)

- Web Audio, to synthesize pitches

- VexFlow, for rendering sheet music to SVG

Built with React, Babel, Webpack; hosted on GitHub Pages. Source: https://github.com/BHSPitMonkey/Prelude

Flux-Mithril

The Flux overview video seemed convincing. It's a web app architecture that lets you ask "How did my app get into this state?" and always have a straightforward path to an answer. It turns out Mithril fits the architecture as well or better than React does, and for me mobile-friendliness is important so I really like Mithril's size.

My Hello World Flux-Mithril app's source is at https://github.com/brlewis/brlewis.github.io/blob/master/201...

Speech recognition and search API: https://app.loverino.com/ Highest quality engine out there. Personalized radio: https://loverino.com/beta/ everyone should have their own radio channel that they listen to.

Do you use any open source tools for the speech recognition?

Scat!: https://getsc.at Issue tracking utility for Slack.

Still a work in progress but with Scat you will be able to use Slack commands to create and manage issues. The command will respond with a bot to list out issues based on the initial prompt. The goal is to have nearly everything related to an issue built into Slack commands and off load some of the editing to a lightweight web UI.

I'm sure something like this already exists but it has been a blast so far playing around with the Slack API.
