#182A crowd sourced checklist/todo app.
Just a small extension of a little iPhone app I made for myself. Realized that most of my 'todo lists' are more like checklists... for launching a new site, compiling a distribution build of an iPhone app, etc. So I have a little app for myself that let's me quickly re-use these checklists.
So now I'm building in a web based back end to allow everyone to share their checklists for other people to use.
It would be a good place to store, and use, the 100's of different checklists i've seen on blogs, hackernews, etc.

#183Earlier quoted context omitted.
I see you switched from racket to Go. Care to talk about your experiences? I've been playing with making the implementation of arc more timeless (e.g. http://arclanguage.org/item?id=12057 , http://arclanguage.org/item?id=11864 )
I just found namespaces in Racket too painful (see [this blog post][1]), I spent hours and hours trying to do something I felt ought to be very simple, i.e. sharing a namespace between different files, yet Racket just utterly refused to do it. I RTFM but found it utterly confusing and nothing I tried, including their examples, worked. I asked on the freenode IRC channel, and even then nobody could help me. After a wh…
No defense necessary. All the best! Let me know if I can help. I find talking to someone helps me avoid paralysis, that great obstacle to doing.

#185http://madlibber.com/ - Anonymous user generated madlibs. I can't stop working on this [adjective] app! http://webchiever.com/ - Web achievements http://inquiryapp.com/ - Hosted FAQs for your apps
madlibber.com is such an awesome idea. You need to take some time to populate (or copy) good mad libs and artificially vote them up so that it's not a ghost town when people arrive. Here's my contribution: http://madlibber.com/madlibs/21 Update: I just created an account with inqueryapp -- I cannot add a category. The AJAX response is a 500, you might want to check that out. Up to that, the experience was rather enjo…
That's a good idea, I'll throw a bunch of samples up there. Now, I need to figure out how I should display a tag list or cloud on the homepage to navigate. Probably should make a little "syntax help" link when creating madlib stories too.
Weird, I can't reproduce that inquiry error and Hoptoad didn't catch anything. Let me know if you run into that again.
Thanks for your feedback and contribution!

#186I'm working on a program that uses the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface to stop charging my netbook battery to 100%, thus shortening its life. Instead, it will start charging at 40% and stop at 60%. There will be an option to charge to 100% in case I need a full charge to work off the grid. There will also be an option to turn off the charging as sometimes the dual load of charging the battery and running the computer trips the circuit breaker of the power supply at an airplane seat.

#187computer vision JSON webservice - you supply image, it returns tags/keywords super fast. Spare time project. Hoping to build a freemium model out of it for image libraries to use. Happy to speak to anyone with any kind of CV / object detection knowhow.
A company in Berkeley is doing this: www.iqengines.com (see Developer API), and demonstration app www.omoby.com. HTML Post image and JSON/XML return label (also face, barcode, ocr, etc).

#188Working on some facebook integration for my social calendar site: http://www.scenepeek.com
Hi, I'm interested in your website, is it live ? I have an error when trying to access it : Solr service not responding.
Yea - had some random issues with Solr indexing. That's the startup life =)
It should be up and running now.

#189http://hnrecap.com - Daily, Weekly and Monthly HN Summaries (Has: Its own point system, Instapaper support, Treemap visualisation and Archives). Thinking of maybe starting a weekly podcast!
Also a project in the early stages which aims to make it easy to find great available domain names for projects/startups. A lot of hackery going on here. :)

thanks! Hopefully I can kick their asses ;)
edit: which doesn't seem like it'll be too difficult. On their developer test I just get {"data": {"error": 0}} back for any image I try to upload.
