https://www.bicycl.com Bicycl is a calendar for your life's work. Record what you learn and accomplish each day (or week, month, etc). Organize these micronotes into stories of progress over time.

It is based on the usda-sr database, and a lot of manual work was required to determine one serving size.
The people who use the site are mainly registered dietitians, but some power consumers have occasionally used it.
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…

This is awesome because attic (and the more polished successor, borg) is quickly becoming the new de facto standard for remote, encrypted, you-hold-the-keys backup:

Best of all, we provide these remote server-side functions on our cloud platform without adding any new attack surface or complications to our platform: there is still no python interpreter on our platform.
Amplitude https://amplitudeapp.com/ Interactive music discovery. Amplitude tries to get a feel for your current mood and then gives you a 30 song playlist that you can save to Spotify. Spotify's discover weekly is great, but you only get one playlist a week. The radios are a great idea, but I found them to far to repetitive and playing very mainstream music I'v already heard. Amplitude sits somewhere in the middle.
A feature request from me would be to add an option to create/save an Apple Music playlist if it's possible at all.

For anyone else wondering about the links, I think one of these is the archive.org version of the link jcr removed: https://web.archive.org/web/20150930225625/https://www.jwz.o... [edited with more recent version] https://web.archive.org/web/20160310204843/https://www.jwz.o...
The second link you posted '/20160127052944/' is bad. It links to an old version, 1.681, and the current version is 1.711 as of an hour or two ago. The version number matters. The url I posted and removed still works fine, so long as it's not originating from HN (i.e. 'referer' checking). If you do a quick web search on 'youtubedown' you'll find it.
If jwz is trying to avoid the HN-effect, then sending people via another route won't completely mitigate the problem.
I went ahead and updated the archive.org link. Providing that means HN users don't need to do yet another search and his site shouldn't get hammered nearly as much.
It's awesome because it has a low barrier to entry, saving you time pretty quickly.
Feedback very welcome!

I recently finished a graphic novel about a robot lady dragged out of reality by her ex-boyfriend and am procrastinating on the Kickstarter for the printed version. http://egypt.urnash.com/rita/ "Seriously folks, if you haven't looked at "Decrypting Rita" yet you really ought to.
