I've written a greasemonkey script for reddit that pulls directly linked images, resizes them and displays them inline. I recently updated it to include flickr links as well. https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/124010

Re: Ask HN: Tell us about your side projects.
#62I am working on todo service and apps (yes, I know, yet another one world doesn't need, but I really enjoy it) where lists of tasks can be shared between devices and people. Starting point here: http://todoteria.com I have written apps for Symbian, MeeGo and J2ME (not happy with the last one). As well I have BlackBerry PlayBook version ready for upload to App World.
You need Android and Iphone... they are the ones that matter.
I'm forced to learn both currently (I am not complaining). Android most probably will come first - still I can't give specific dates because my time is unpredictable.

#63I'm still slowly working on Hackerbuddy: http://hackerbuddy.com/ - fun fact, the user base is now at a level where I can find people on Hackerbuddy to help improve Hackerbuddy. Is there a name for apps that recursively improve themselves?
Dude, This is a great idea, I registered and already asked someone for help. Writing the request was a bit tedious since it is limited to 400 characters and there is no counter.. so I had to open another browser window and find an online character counter. Great idea
Thanks for the heads up - I definitely need to fix that. Thanks for the kind words, let me know how it goes :)

#64My two side projects: http://www.sizeall.com site for comparing things by real size on screen http://www.newswebreader.com web Usenet client (three pane, like Thunderbird)
sizeall not working for me. I tried with my phone. It was almost right size when loaded but when I clicked "Actual size" it was 1.4 times bigger than actual.

#65I just released Device Debug to Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.korri.andr... It reads Android device specs and device log and shows them to the user. It also allows the user to share this info through email or by writing it to a file.
The main reason for making it was to have a way to get information from devices you don't have access to. For example if your client complains that your app doesn't work with her device, you just instruct her to install Device Debug and email the info to you.

#66I've been working on http://experimatch.com - a site for matching academic researchers with potential test subjects.
Most researchers resort to posting flyers around campus, thus missing on a lot of people who are willing to participate for compensation (that is offered anyway). Already being used around London, and slowly growing.
