#362https://github.com/kahing/goofys/ I've been spending what free time I have on this. It started out as a curious project to learn Go and to prove that a useful and good s3fs like project can be done relatively quickly. These days it's used by companies moving PBs of storage into S3 to research labs trying to analysis RNA sequences with 100s of machines. A couple things I hope to get done this year: * a reasonably easy…
This is neat, I'll certainly give it a try!

#363I'm working on a few things;
1. A bunch of dev books, tutorials and content for https://getGood.at
2. A zero config JS dev tool, you can see the prototype for it on GitHub https://github.com/Hactar-js/hactar. Currently working on a major rewrite using Reason.
3. A JS bundler and ES7 compiler in Reason. Think webpack and babel but ridiculously fast (compile times measured in ms instead of seconds) and with a massively simplified developer experience.

#365Project: R.I.P.Link - a tool for finding dead links on the web[0]. The inspiration for this project came from Wikipedia and the Internet Archive partnering to fix broken links on Wikipedia[1]. After briefly searching around I couldn't find any great tools for this, and I decided it would be an interesting side-project. I was also looking for a good medium-size project to improve my Go skills and understanding of conc…
aim it at SEOs if you want to make money, broken link building is a pretty big strategy in the SEO world
Yup. An old but probably still used grey-hat strategy was to identify dead/forgotten websites with lots of 'seo juice' (had high rankings, google associates them with keywords strongly, etc). Then you buy that domain and host your new site on it, taking advantage of its history.

#366A couple... 1. Record one album a month. An album must consist of no less than four songs. At least one song must be an original. I can only record on a 4-track cassette recorder. Problem: I'm getting older and find myself nostalgic for the days when I was running my record label and playing in bands. A small, manageable project with no expectations or demands to scratch that itch and get me away from computers for a…
It's going to take more then a couple of weeks, been working on it for more then 1 year :) https://subzero.cloud/
How do either of you plan to handle authentication and authorization? How will you handle CORS? Just curious as I've worked in this realm as well.

#367Made this web app to help you figure out how your favorite language is doing in the job market / what to learn next.
Every month I scan the previous months’ Hacker News 'Who Is Hiring' thread and build these stats. Hope others find this useful. Constructive feedback welcome.
This is only the first version. Next I'm planning to add more data for previous months/years as well and show the evolution of individual languages over time.

#368I'm working on a Uber like service for home-made food in my spare time (apart form having a day job). http://crave.yorker.me
I love this idea. I recently saw a documentary about the home-cooked lunch business in India -- basically women, often single mothers, cooking great food at home and then middlemen selling it on a subscription level to office workers.
But how do you reconcile "home-made" (as opposed to restaurant-made) with whatever Health Department equivalent operates in your area?
Are you just planning an end-run around regulations[0] a la Uber/AirBnB?
As far as I can tell, in most of the US (and probably many other countries) this isn't quite legal[1], for a combination of bad and good reasons.

#369Potioneer: The VR Gardening Simulator.
I'm trying to combine Animal Crossing, Morrowind's Alchemy skill tree, and Minecraft into one game. A core requirement is a personal goal to have no user interface in the game. Everything you do must be using your hands, not through menus, etc.
I recently released the Creative Crafting update, which you can read about here: https://potioneer.focusonfungames.com/doku.php?id=news:creat...

#370Problem: people don't want to have to enter the sms TAN manually when they do online banking.
Solution: I'm creating an android app + webservice + chrome plugin to do it automatically. So the app reads the tan from the sms, sends it to the webapp. The webapp sends it to the browser plugin. Browser plugin enters the tan for you. ... Huge win :)
User base: everyone who does online banking with sms TAN 2fa but can't be bothered to enter the tan manually/doesn't care to much about security. ... So basically just me I guess ;)
