Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do you consider http://news.ycombinator.com as half baked ?

this was an hilarious joke by PG, lost on the humourless HN community.

Don't you mean lost on the three people that upvoted pmarin's comment?

http://timetracking.im : time-tracking and timesheets on IM

This is a great project! I'd like a way to be able to list existing tasks / projects and then I would probably use it

when writing "select project" (shortcut : sp) or "select task" (shortcut : st), it lists them so you can choose a task already created.

I actually didn't use source control back when I started, so I can't show you what it looked like on launch day, but this is what BCC looked like in February 2007. Static HTML, written in notepad. The web application wouldn't exist for another year yet, and the software shipped with less than 20 bingo card activities written (it now ships with about 1,000). http://www.bingocardcreator.com/old-site/index.htm Sales fro…

A classic case of worse is better.

I've got an amazing image acquisition pipeline that finds thousands of images a day with little human intervention, but there's barely any user-visible categorization, the navigation sux, the full text search sux, and there's a lot of infrastructral stuff that sux too, but at least you can't see it.

Not only that, but to make the site successful I need to promote it to the sky.

I expect to chip away at some of those issues over the next year or so.

A web app that handles two-factor authentication systems for web sites that want to add it. Let's you use an API to generate a password that gets SMS'ed or voice called to your user, then let's you validate what they typed.

I figured if Google, Facebook, and Chase banks have them, then many other sites will want them too. And they don't want (or know how) to do it themselves. Tough to market though.

http://www.weathermap.eu/ Weather forecast based on free data. Only rain forecast for now. I had (still have) plans to make it much better with wind, temperature etc., nicer graphics, better animation and an Android App. I am working on too many other side project, but I hope to start working on this one soon again.

It's a two player, turn based, web strategy game. It's like Stratego, but with bunnies instead of soldiers, and fog of war instead of not being able to see what a piece is. It's my first AppEngine app, so a lot of it was just learning to use the Data Store, which is quite different from the RDBMSs that I'm used to.
