#32I want to build a set of tools to build a full private cloud on bare metal with zero single points of failure. Essentially a full replacement of Fuel and Openstack. I've already started on a full multi master dhcp server to assign ip adresses to hosts and instances.
Sounds good. Would it be something like Triton?

#33You get three designs for the same website - one for mobile, one for tablet, and one for desktop. Now you have to combine all that into a single set of HTML and CSS using Flexbox and media queries. My project for 2017 is to automate all that. My product is in this space, so it might turn out to be a full-time project as well!

#34rediSQL[1] which is a module that embed SQLite into Redis.
It is a fun way to go back to low level C code, I started to kinda miss it after years of high level languages...
Right now it only use redis as connectivity layer but I want to make it way more integrated into redis, I want to replicate keys on both redis and inside sqlite in order to have the best of both world (and make some interesting tradeoff between speed and memory), here[2] the proposal if you would like to contribute.

#36I am writing a book on Vim [1] for a while now, so it's going to be my main side project in the first months of 2017. [1] A crappy page about the book: http://jovicailic.org/mastering-vim-quickly/
As a piece of constructive criticism (as it seems like maybe English isn't your first language) using gendered words like "guys" can seem a little bit sexist or at least exclusionary. You don't want to put women off reading your book just with the blurb :)
What word would you suggest in its place? As a native English speaker I can't think of something similar which is both gender neutral and casual without being quirky (I'd use 'peeps' in conversations with friends, but not in marketing text).

#37Fixing YouTube subscriptions. (YouTubers say they are broken, YouTube says they aren't)
How do you plan to solve this problem? Will it be a paid solution?

#39https://wishy.gift/ - a wishlist web app that we launched a bit too close to Christmas to be of use to anyone. We got just about 90 users at the moment, and have gotten lots of good feedback and feature requests.
Friends and family I've talked to found it really useful for the Christmas shopping, and my SO showed me the wishlist of a friend of hers - which had loads of items added to it - and almost every single item was checked off.
There's some stuff we're going to add, but our main issue is finding out how to market it, and explain the service in a good way.

#40This year I want to dive into Machine Learning, so to do it I plan to create tools using RNNs to extract data from the web.
