I keep working on FeedBunch - http://feedbunch.com
It is an open source general-purpose feed reader (RSS/Atom). It attempts to be as fast and intuitive as possible, hiding complexity from the user as much as possible.

#602https://gritt.io - anonymous job search. Focusing on IT field at the moment.
As developers ourself we want to change the way we get better jobs in IT: eliminating unimportant details such as age, gender, skin color, etc and only focusing on what is really important and what makes one a professional.

I'm curious when you say "publish to the web", do you have a specific output/platform in mind? One key difference with Bicycl from those other tools is that it's based on micronotes (think tweeting vs blogging). This is intentional. I use Evernote to go into detail about my work. But that makes serendipitous discovery more difficult, when the jewel of your content is buried... Also, this allows you to focus on just w…
By "publishing to the web" I mean an easy and automated way to show the world what you have accomplished, so for instance if you are getting hired, one can look at your page and have a feeling of your work process, what you care about, what you have accomplished, what kind of experiments have you done...
I agree that micro notes are the way to start this, but give the users ways to be able to extend these notes in oder to be able to further document their work or whatever they have accomplished.

#604Kespry - 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…
Here some practical applications for drones: https://img.readitlater.com/i/cloudtweaks.com/wp-content/upl...

#605Syndient - https://www.syndient.com
Syndient is a way to aggregate, curate, and share RSS / Atom feeds with a wider community. Users create Digests (collections of RSS / Atom feeds and keywords) and Syndient scans and tags content automatically. Digests can be public or private and ultimately be used as Atom feeds themselves. Additionally, Syndient provides thumbnails and descriptions of the links and displays them in a simple and familiar UI. You can try it without creating an account at https://syndient.com/find/.
Thanks for reading!

#608I'm working on an incentivized mesh network. Basically, routers pay each other to forward packets. A routing protocol takes price into consideration and tries to get packets over the cheapest routes. Intermediary routers pay each other over payment channels. End users pay backbone connections with multihop (lightning) payments over the payment channels of the intermediary nodes. End result is that last-mile ISP's are…

I should probably do that. I'll post a response here.

Cool, thanks for the response. For now, want to make sure Bicycl is useful and empowering on an individual level.
Then, those ideas would certainly seem like a natural progression...

I talk about how I make money writing online. It helps give ordinary people a leg up on developing portable income that pays decently so that "the little people" can benefit from new realities of the modern economy instead of being victims of it.
