I'm curious to see what HNers are building/working on?

Particularly things in the consumer space.

I'm helping build a new search interface and implementation for a casual game company based on Apache Lucene/Solr. I always wanted to participate in a Solr implementation, and I was really gratified to work on this project. I think marketing had given up on improving search, so this was a grassroots engineering effort that releases officially later this month.

Putting the real Multiple Listing Service back in the hands (literally) of real estate professionals and combining it with tools that helps them make sense of the real estate market. It's part listing syndication, analytics and social networking.

I'm a product designer that does graphic and interface design and HTML/CSS. But lately I've really wanted to build something that works, not just static stuff. So..

Installed node.js, the Express framework, and are now messing around in Jade templates. Also installed the mongodb driver via npm (node package manager), but have zero clue how to make a database and hooking it into my node app. Next step is to follow along a blog engine tutorial to learn some more.

My next idea is one I'm going to work on for StartupWeekend.

It's killing me NOT working on it, but I don't want to 'cheat' by showing up with a previously-worked-on product.

Emulsion ( http://emulsion.me ), which will allow photographers to create beautiful, simple portfolios in about 15 minutes.

We felt someone needed to kill the slow, Flash slideshows everyone was using.
