http://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-…

Was not convinced reading your comment. Site converted me though.

I rewrote https://www.w3counter.com from scratch over the past month, and just put it online two days ago. W3Counter was a 12-year-old website offering web stats reports and hit counters with 30-something-thousand users. I ditched all the old code, and the data model, and the business model, and started from scratch. New framework, new way of storing and analyzing stats that scales better and provides more value, and…

I am working on the "Fiera - Arouser for Her" product : http://fiera.com . It is awesome because it's an elegant product to enhance/jump-start arousal for women -- whether through stimulation or as a conversation starter between couples.

It has some very cool technology under the hood which, if we've done our job right, the user will never have to think about. :)

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

We trained our own models. We have ASR PhD students on our team.

Would you be interested in licensing the models for offline speech recognition?

The scenario I'm imagining is that I just want to click on the image to view a larger version, but when I click on it, instead of getting a larger version, I'm redirected through an affiliate link to buy a product. Not my desired outcome and seems like a frustrating scenario. How does your platform account for this? EDIT: When watching the video, I see that specific items are highlighted and not the whole image, but…

The interaction is dependent on the website's settings, but one of the available options (which is the default) is to show a popup that lets you know what you're navigating to, such as on http://girlpowder.net/ -- I'll be adding a store logo to this soon, so you know you're navigating to i.e. amazon. Since some websites might want to make it only have the hover effect, I leave that up to the website to decide best fo…

Thank you.

Good luck with the product. Looks pretty neat.

It's a simple game where I show you two images from Reddit (SFW of course) and ask you to guess which was more popular. I'm using the data from the site as part of my research into the dynamics on internet popularity.

It's awesome because it's showing that Reddit is a pretty random/fickle thing. In the first iteration of the experiment (we're on the second now), people couldn't really do much better than randomly guessing. If one image had 10,000 upvotes and the other 10, people could only guess the popular one about 55% of the time. I wrote up some quick results in this blogpost: https://medium.com/@gregstod/guess-the-karma-2-0-82a224a691f...

I'd very much appreciate it if you played the game and donated a few data points :-)
