My first thought was futures trading. I've heard of people using their own private satellites to do something similar. There was a company in SF building and launching small, shoebox-sized satellites inexpensively which could be used for it.
I suspect you're referring to Planet Labs: https://www.planet.com
A YouTube Drum Machine / Beat Prototyper / VJ Tool
I just noticed that pressing hotkeys (1-9) on a YT video at one point was really responsive, and you could play with them like on a drum machine. I also like how many YT videos look, when played next to each other. Now I'm thinking of a way of how to package that feeling into something less experimental, more consumable.
I'm spending some time creating a logo generator tool targeted at idea/early stage products and companies, or for side projects, open source projects, etc. It's called Logocaster - https://logocaster.com Logocaster is meant to help you explore a huge universe of logo designs when brainstorming your brand/logo. It makes it quite easy to scan a bunch of style/font/palette options and then "drill down" and see designs w…
Cool app. I found a bug, it ignores '<' character
Certainly some of the fonts in the system are lacking those glyphs but this seems more related to the application logic than font issues. It's especially odd that it intermittently discards the text to the right of the bracket (eg. https://logocaster.com/logo-design/less+%3C+more?seed=784036...)
http://dreadtv.com Tracks my/your favorite TV shows. I got tired of googling "Dr Who episodes" whenever I wanted to know if the next half-season was starting soon, or to see whether any more episodes remained before a hiatus. So I built a thing which monitors the data from Wikipedia episode list pages, normalizes it, and lets you easily view what's airing recently / soon. Also sends an (optional) email each week list…
There is followshows.com, I've been using it for over a year now and it has quite some features including an Android app. Do you wanna pitch your site vs them?
Personally I'm not really a fan of watching TV on my computer, or of trying to track online what episodes I've seen (ends up being more anal-retentively stressful than helpful)... so those features end up being just noise overhead for my tastes.
They've got a really pretty site for sure. :-)

Yeah, we solve slightly different problems -- they focus on feature breadth and syndication coverage, I prefer data breadth (lots more anime in particular) and original airings only.

Well… I'd prefer your design with their features :D
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. See lots of cool data come to life. Screenshots coming. I'm testing things out right now in beta, but if you want to give it a twirl, I can send out a few invitations to first comers. A couple notes: As someone who's strugg…
As someone who's struggling to not fall into depression, I think this will do wonders for me. I've come to believe that the trigger-activity-rewards cycle[1] is the best for productivity and improving my focus. This product might come in handy in the "rewards" phase of that cycle.

Create a file, where each day you enter a list of positive things that occurred or that you did that day. Can be really anything like "got out of bed again :)", "didn't argue with my brother", "cleaned the dishes", "made a plan to get better".
I did it for about half a year, it does wonders for your self-efficacy.
I work on the 1km short range and on the 2km medium range probabilistic weather model at MeteoSwiss that is scheduled to go operational this month. It is awesome because MeteoSwiss is the first national forecaster that is going GPU for their full forecast. See: http://www.cscs.ch/publications/press_releases/2015/meteoswi... My line of work mainly consists of porting Fortran code of the Dynamical part of the model to…
That look like a very interesting field, thanks for sharing. :)
Zatresi - http://www.zatresi.si/ It's a map of sport clubs (gyms, karate dojos, swimming pools, etc) in Slovenia. Why I made it? After moving back to Slovenia I started looking for a traditional Karate dojo. My choice would be constrained by hour of training and dojo philosophy (traditional karate vs sports karate). It turned out to be really difficult to find all the dojos nearby, as they neither on Google Maps, and…
You're using Mapbox map tiles with an API key of another company (that's costing them money). You're also not showing the Mapbox and Openstreetmap copyright which you are required to do. http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

To exist it requires zero maintenance, and hosting costs 0.30 EUR per month. Whoa, cool! How is it so inexpensive? That's an order of magnitude cheaper than a DO droplet. Or to put it another way: I'm curious where the 0.30 comes from. It seems like it would be either 0.00 or >1.00
So the cost comes from serving the JS and CSS files from S3. And that's 0.30 per month
