Open source banking software written in Go: https://github.com/ksred/bank The project is an answer to "what would a bank look like if it were built today?" - iOS Client: https://github.com/ksred/bank-ios - Visa package to hook into the bank: https://github.com/ksred/visa - Articles on the process: https://ksred.me/tags/banking-infrastructure/?hn

Those are pretty cool. I suggested an idea to James Gosling that about 25,000 of them could be used to greatly remediate the Pacific Gyre[1] of its plastic. Sure the initial cost would be high but they would work autonomously day in and day out gathering and compacting plastic and dropping it off at a central collection unit where it could be decomposed into carbon with a solar powered incinerator. Sadly not somethin…
The initial cost of 25K gliders would be 7.5 Billion dollars, and unfortunately, most of the plastic in the gyre isn't of a size you could pick up with anything more porous than a coffee filter. 25K gliders pulling nets would be amusing, but that's a lot of money for a partial solution!
A database that you can use as a JSON document store or a graph database - or even both data models combined - within a single query.
Why it's awesome?
I can use one technology for so many different use cases, I'm not limited to one data model and can use a single query language that supports graph traversals and document JOINS.
It's designed to support modern microservice architectures and orchestration - e.g. via Mesosphere DCOS.
Anyone this this is a good idea?
www.guessthekarma.com 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 be…
You can build your car online (colors & options) and set your price, and your customization gets distributed to all of our dealerships (LA only currently) and see who accepts it. Cuts down on the dealer sales funnel as well so it's a win-win on both sides!
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 h…
Holy crap this is so cool. So cool! I'm a JR full stack dev, mainly proficient in JS technologies, and I have a cheap drone with a wifi camera. What would you recommend that I study to start getting involved with autonomous drone programming for fun?
Most of open source flight controllers support MavLink, a communications protocol that you can use to send path commands and receive telemetry info over a WiFi link. There are wrappers for many languages, including node.
It's good to have a project in mind of what you want it to actually do in the end before you start that will help guide you through the process.
What if you could build an API free of bugs on the first try? What if instead of using a laptop or a desktop, you could build a custom API from your smartphone? What if you could just build your API once and it could get faster automatically as implementations improve performance?
I believe all of the above is possible and manuscript is my attempt to bring this dream to life.
If this sounds awesome to you, help me build manuscript and let us change how we create APIs forever.
I need help on this project so anyone interested is welcome to create some issues and have some discussions. https://github.com/ArsalanDotMe/manuscript
I'm working on an extensible notes platform for the web. Its called Saola: https://saola.in . There are several platforms that you can store notes/text etc in. Saola differs from them in the fact that it provides you a scriptable environment also. You can write JavaScript scripts to create/update/delete notes/text.
