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…

i like this idea. my husband and i are always watching tons of movies and can never keep track.

http://www.fruitshow.org - A simple forum

Mainly implemented at http://www.crazyontap.com

The original version was built in 3 hours after Joel Spolsky closed his off topic forum ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/01/25.html ). The name itself comes from Joel, he called us a "3rd rate fruit show". I put a bunch more hours into it and open sourced it -- a few people still download occasionally.

I had intended to make it a much better forum following Joel's own design philosophy ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswi... ) but sadly life got in the way. I'm still thinking I might revisit it someday.

Khoi Vinh (http://subtraction.com) and I made something called Shorty (http://get-shorty.com). It was the first URL shortener you could install on your own server.

I built Shorty in high school. It's absolutely dreadful code; hopefully I'll rewrite it sometime after I graduate college.

Last Christmas I built a webapp that displays my iTunes music library. I can't show it to you though, because then you'd max my home's bandwidth.

http://www.newsblur.com An RSS feed reader with intelligence. Got half of the intelligence part working. Still lots of bugs and not quite ready for primetime. But soon, hopefully. It's also open-source: http://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/

You should consider promoting this more widely.

Bloglines is closing at the end of the month and there's multiple people who aren't happy with using Google Reader for various reasons.

I'd be happy with a nice online RSS reader with no intelligence. :)

http://mootools.net/forge/p/lsd (Demos: http://inviz.github.com/lsd-examples/Demos/index.html http://jsfiddle.net/inviz/htmmv/)

New wave interface library that uses SVG to draw graphics, html as a templating language and a superset of css for theming. Already spent 1 year on this and have like maybe 5 months to go (add IE support, more polished features).

The thing is my very state of art code that i'm putting my soul into. Every day, even a small tweak makes me feel like I'm moving to the right direction.

Proud half baked product (not public production ready, but is used in several small projects) seeks for interested organizations and contributors, invizko@gmail.com :)

I want to make learning (for a self learner) easier by matching learning intent with materials specific for someone's learning style.

Basically if you are visual learner the system will try to suggest more visually oriented materials for the courses you are taking right now.

I think it should be really valuable to a busy student :).
