Launched this month: http://tradesalerts.com
Revised it recently to include AGM Calendar, Downloadable Inc's Dividend records, etc. Low traffic, added quite a few enhancements to work in the pipline to automate things. Great to see it developed quite nicely over time.

I think the app has quite a bit of potential. Right now, you are just focusing the user side, afford-ability side of things. Usage is more one-off.
Members option is possible.
Forward planning option to help users build things is also a possibility.
Integrate with other finance/expense tracking app will help too.
Do keep working on it. Love it to see it developed over time.

#23I launched http://www.hackerlunch.com It lets hackers meet up with each other for lunch (and hopefully an interesting chat). You basically make a post stating when and where you are free to have lunch and others can join in. Launched it a few days ago but unfortunately haven't received much interest or feedback. I will probably release another polished version in a month and see if it gets more traction.
Make it more social. Once a lunch slot is posted, give it an unique url, encourage users to publish it to facebook/twtter, etc. Store user's location, advice if the new lunch slot can invite any existing users in the same region, etc. Keep on working on it. Nice to have, can't see how it could be acquired, or make enough for ramien, or anything like that.
Thanks for the feedback. I noticed that you did not use the site to post a lunch-meetup, is it because you aren't interested in meeting up with others at the moment, or is it because the site lacks features?
I am working to make the interface a bit more appealing (new design: http://i.imgur.com/KOaA8.jpg). Then I will move on to add integration with facebook and twitter and let users do more with their posts (invites, privacy, comments, geo-tagging, etc.).
As for the future, I plan to extend this beyond hackernews and beyond lunches. Eventually you should be able to post any event you plan on doing and invite anyone. Kind of like a social network focused around events.

#24Here's my app for the month launched today. http://www.previouslook.com. Makes it easy to look back at the snapshots of popular web pages over time. So far it's a proof of concept with couple sites. Will expand to include more web pages.
Here's my other HN post about it, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1953087

The site is fine. It's just me.
Good to hear that you have a plan to develop it further. One problem I have with my site is to give too much features which are not required, or I dun use myself. Do guard against that too. Less is more.

#26Submitted a simple card game to the App Store and put http://www.myspaceappstats.com/ online. If I could somehow let app developers know about it, I'm pretty sure many would visit it daily to see how their app is doing, but I'm not sure how to contact them. Tried just going through each dev and figure out their contact info from their homepage / app but that turned out to take a loong time.

I enjoyed playing anagramscramble for a bit, and I think it's great timing as I'm prepping for the GRE in a couple weeks - playing your game might help my verbal score. A couple comments: 1. You mentioned this, but it would be great if focus stayed on the input box. That would make it easy to play with just the keyboard, without having to tab. 2. Sometimes there are more than one legitimate solution (for example: sca…
I fixed the bug that was stealing focus. In case your curious the problem was that the code would always think the word had changed due to trying to select the current anagram with the wrong jquery selector (div instead of span). As to allowing multiple words for the same anagram. Umm.. that not a bug that is a feature! It uhh.. it helps you to be more.. creative.. year that is what it does. More seriously though, I'…
I still managed to get my focus to escape the box when I tried playing it just now.

Apparently making less than $2500 / month is impossible?

#29Failed miserably trying to write an app for my personal use within November. I have my back end done and ready and i need to put together a front end still. Was not possible to spend much hours due to work and also to be honest, time spent was not exactly productive i would say. Need to proceed and wrap this up soon.
