Earlier quoted context omitted.

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...

Looks great. Who did the design for you?

A designer who works for me part time here in Buenos Aires...email me if you want me to introduce you (scared to introduce you as she's busy for me right now :)

Hacker News Safari Extension: http://github.com/braintapper/Hacker-News-Safari-Extension

My attempt at a prettified Safari Extension for reading HN - for fun, not money. Lets you star items, follow sources and or user submissions etc. Uses Safari's SQLite db to store stuff.

Some explanation of how/why: http://blog.braintapper.com/update_hacker_news_safari_extens...

Only about halfway there, got busy with contract work. The source is all there if you want to build it though. Still buggy. Some edge cases are breaking my page scraping code (i.e. HN Poll items, etc.).

http://www.triviathing.com - Trivia game inspired by IRC trivia bots. Very early, still needs a TON of questions, and a handful of bugfixes. But it's semi-functional, and I've played it with my friends and family for a smashing good time (until we start getting duplicates).

Oh, and it's written entirely in Erlang (runs on the Nitrogen Web Framework), except for a bit of javascript.

Appleseed - An open source, distributed social networking framework. http://opensource.appleseedproject.org My Appleseed profile: http://developer.appleseedproject.org/michael.chisari/ Most recent code: http://gotham.appleseedproject.org/bruce/ (Yes, I use comic book characters for testing... Don't judge)

Nice, I was just telling some college students about Appleseed yesterday when I gave a presentation about securing your online profile. I expressed that Appleseed, along with other competitors, would be a viable contender to Facebook (a couple years down the road). Prove me right =)

Granary (granary.heroku.com)

Very much half-baked. Granary is sort of an online Access/Bento webapp. It started off with an emphasis on making data publicly available and editable (Wikipedia for data?), but that's faded into the background somewhat with private databases available.

Probably ideal for small websites/non-technical people who want to make their data available via web interface and API (like a hosted database?). Feel free to signup with a fake email to mess around with it, this is the dev site (and also, the only site).

Some simple examples of what it can do:

* http://granary.heroku.com/public/pj8lF5uM - pictures (of fruit)

* http://granary.heroku.com/public/GKhdmAFt - links (bookmarking)

* http://granary.heroku.com/public/8aHsg1cZ - information (the planets)

* http://granary.heroku.com/public/iiIPmf2H - maps (quasi restaurant reviews)

* http://granary.heroku.com/public/07meNTGa - information (caltrain schedule, partial)
