I haven't sold any yet. I'm not sure whether I'm advertising it wrong, or if it's just not something people are interested in.

I created a smartphone, smartwatch, web app that let's you tag photos with a voice command for easy retrieval later. I just published the iPhone / Apple Watch app and am looking for some early adopters.

#244A database of thoroughbred bloodstock sale results:
https://github.com/phillc73/pinhooker
The data is collected from currently six different bloodstock auctioneers in Europe and covers the years 2009 - 2015. Future plans include additional auctioneers around the globe.
The goal is to provide improved data analysis to the bloodstock industry. Starting with a simple Jekyll based website (barebones found under the gh-pages branch at the moment), reports will be written in RMarkdown, so R code can be included directly, then "knitted" with the knitr package to vanilla markdown.
It's awesome because I love horse racing and bloodstock. Combining a personal passion with my data analysis skills should hopefully mean a stellar service.

#245https://protoship.io/#products
Protoship converts designs into code and generates full-blown web application front-ends. HTML, CSS, SASS, React, the works. And not the typical auto-generated crap, but real clean code as good as what we'd painstakingly write ourselves. No absolute positioning; no mindless repetition of CSS; no slicing and dicing.
I used to write business software in old-school tech like Visual Basic, Clipper, and dBase, but have been building for the web for the past several years. If you have ever worked on one of these technologies, you'll remember how fast we could bang out database software and user-interfaces that gets stuff done, compared to the boilerplate of modern front-end development. The ever-shifting landscape, writing reams of HTML, CSS, DRY-ing up stuff with SASS mixins, wiring up React components and props and `import`s... The sheer tedium is mind-numbing to build even the simplest of applications.
We're excited because we think it can be fixed - https://protoship.io/story

#246Just rebuilt one of my projects: an automated website revenue strategy consultant.
http://www.marginhound.com/calculators/website-revenue-calcu...
The tool is built off a set of revenue benchmarks I built up over the past couple of years; this version looks at the expected performance for different market niches and revenue strategies (for ad-supported sites). It guides the audience towards the best options to improve their current results.
Future version of the tool will have additional features to help dial in targets for SAAS and E-commerce businesses.

#248Scoop https://scoopanalytics.com Automatically detects breaking news through social media (Twitter). Breaking news, before it breaks. We're often able to beat the mainstream media by several minutes (sometimes hours), and we're particularity good at natural disasters, bombings, explosions, shootings and celebrity deaths. There's no human in the loop, no key word lists, just real-time algorithms figuring out what was…
You guys have access to the twitter firehose?
Unfortunately no, we have a sample at the moment. The majority of the time, if we're slow to pick something up, it's because the first tweets weren't in our sample.
There's a bunch of clever tricks going on, so even if we miss something we can still get the majority of content once we've picked up that something is happening, and of course, we'll use the search API to go back and get any content we missed.

#250http://bassoon.io A heart-rate monitor for ecommerce conversion rate. Most small-to-mid size ecommerce companies throw up their hands in frustration trying to use Google Analytics. Bassoon rescues them by slicing off their most important metric (conversion rate) and emailing it to them every day, or alerting them when conversion rate drops suddenly for any reason. We integrate with Shopify and Magento, making it one-…
Not to derail, but as a bassoon player, I'm curious how you landed on the name.
