#212https://smart.ly We offer a free, licensed MBA (working on accreditation process) using an interactive (re: non-video), mobile-centric content platform. In addition, we provide job-matching services for anyone interested in opting in. I'm proud of what we've built and hoping it continues to see traction in 2018.
why was this down-voted? someone here work on a competing product in 2017 or something?

#213One project that I really enjoyed working on this year is https://www.meteorshowers.org/. It's a webgl visualization of NASA meteoroid data. Open source here: https://github.com/typpo/showers

#216A friend and I were concerned that Vimperator would die with Firefox 57, so we made our own version [1]. To our delight, it mostly works and has a few users. [1]: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl
This has allowed me to keep my sanity (and for the most part keybindings) in the newer FF releases; many thanks!

A place where musicians work on a song every week.
It's been super fun to build out. I started about 8(!) months ago and I've been working steadily on it ever since. Now we have a small and steady community and we've made a lot of really good music!

#219I built an MIT licensed Open Source decentralized graph database built on CRDT primitives for doing P2P apps that are end-to-end encrypted.
~7K stars on GitHub: https://github.com/amark/gun
It can do 20M reads/sec, 20K writes/sec, and 2K sync/sec (verified table inserts across 4 network hops).
It's like of IPFS and Firebase had a love child.

#220I left an amazing company with one of the best work environments ( https://webflow.com ) to work for a non-profit that fights child sexual abuse ( https://www.wearethorn.org ). The work has been incredibly rewarding, and although I was quite nervous about leaving an awesome job and jumping into an unknown, in hindsight almost everything about the change was a meaningfully positive improvement.
