I wanted to be able to see products on Amazon side-by-side with their pros and cons: http://silvos.com . I need to add more products, product specs, and fix the way the pros/cons work, but I'm already using it to start thinking about which digital camera to get.

This looks useful. It would be a good idea to have the pros and cons lists next to each other so that one doesn't need to scroll down long lists.

This was something that always impressed me with HN. Instead of using a robust, proven forum system, you created a new project that grew with the community, and opened the whole thing up for us to see and even hack ourselves.

http://movief.ly

Wanted a place to keep track of what movies I was watching, when and who I was watching them with, and then be able to recall them later.

For instance: Recent movies watched http://movief.ly/users/adamfortuna/viewings

Movies first seen in 2009 http://movief.ly/users/adamfortuna/lists/first-seen-in-2009

Never went beyond the 'scratch my own itch' stage, but gomiso seems to like the idea of checking in to TV/movies.

regvex.py -- http://gist.github.com/641688

Regvex is a proof of concept timing attack against regex engines. To make a long story short, the timing characteristics of regex engines make it perfectly suited to timing attacks, allowing you to (locally or remotely) create data that matches a given regex, and potentially even reconstruct the actual regex you're matching against.

The current version works locally against Python's sre, but I plan to take it further when I have time.

cool. would love feedback. we haven't really 'launched' it yet as we've just too busy on other projects, and for instance when you do google analytics integration you can end up with WAY too many keywords and some weird behavior on the dashboard page...

Interesting idea - in a similar space to my startup http://www.happybuy.com/

It may be good if the site was able to, based upon the metadata and extraction from the product description, show the relative differences in the specs of the products.

For instance, if I compare a Macbook 13" and a Macbook Pro 15" it would be great if it listed all of the differences - such as screen size: 2", price: $300, speed: 0.4Ghz, weight: 700gms, popularity: 200 difference in sales rank etc.

It would allow objective comparisons to go along with the subjective comparisons of the reviews you currently show.
