https://ohsloth.com

Sloth is a modern day copy and paste manager that allows you to search snippets by both content and context. Context here being what program you copied from and the type of text (whehter it's an ip, python, or bash script, etc.).

Right now I am working on a custom machine learning model to do better text classification.

It's built on electron and I am adding slack integration to create a shared clipboard. Essentially, slack would act as a cloud storage.

Problem: I don't know when the optimal times to go to Krispy Kreme for hot donuts are. Solution: http://hotdonuts.info/ And yes, this is the most important problem in the world.

totally sharing with all the rest of my friends in atlanta. sometimes fun and simple ideas are the best!

I'm putting the final touches on a desktop app that will take audio files and chop and recombine them into entirely new sound libraries. The end product has been promising. But since a lot of it is node.js code calling GPL-licensed binaries, it's difficult to see how I could ever monetize it.

Nonetheless, I think it's some of the coolest tech I've ever built.

Project: Designing my own cruise control

Currently I'm a MSc. student in Systems & Control. To put theory into practice I'm designing a cruise control for my car. Eventually this should become an open system to assist the driver. This allows for integration of things like following distance, speed limit, traffic density to improve safety and comfort.

Currently I'm working on parsing data from the GPS and other sensors. Read more about this on my blog: http://willemmelching.nl/. Code: https://gitlab.com/pd0wm/open-driver-assist

http://www.eathow.com/ EatHow is a web app that helps you plan your meals and gives you recipes you can make with the food you already have.

Long term Id like to completely automate grocery shopping and meal planning so all you have to do is a one-time setup where you set a budget and diet preferences and Eathow takes care of planning everything else.

While anyone who cooks at home would find it useful, it would be particularly cool for people who need to worry about diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, etc.

Except for a coding bootcamp a couple of years ago, I have no experience with building software so take it easy on me haha.

Problem: Writing regular content for your product's blog is time consuming. Project: We are working on automating the content writing process.

$40/post seems pretty low-end, no?

Project: I am building Deep Video Analytics, Currently there are several libraries, models and datasets available for Computer Vision research. However its still difficult to apply a model to your own dataset without writing a non trivial amount of glue code. There is a need for a drop-in solution that comes with UI, algorithms and pre-indexed dataset ready to use out of the box. Using Deep Video Analytics you can quickly index images, videos for visual search, detect objects, and recognize faces and incorporate large pre-indexed datasets via fast approximate nearest neighbors.

Also regarding your project take a look at http://web.mit.edu/vondrick/tinyvideo/ which also tries to generate videos by predicting frames. It comes with stabilized videos selected from Flickr YFCC. http://projects.csail.mit.edu/soundnet/

Working on a book to explain the history of Russian disinformation campaigns and its effects on the 2016 election. Obviously still trying to figure out a good title. Gladly taking suggestions!
