This looks cool. All the fun terminal programs are all over the place, but I love it when I come across another one!

#23I'm working on a modal, console-based, email-client. It's developed in C++ and has fully integrated scripting provided via lua. http://lumail.org/ https://github.com/skx/lumail/ It is pretty different from the existing mail clients for the console (pine, alpine, mutt, sup, notmuch), partly for being modal, and partly because it only handles Maildirs. No IMAP or POP3 support at all. In terms of functionality it is usa…
If I wanted to pair this with an imap or pop3 mail account, what other command would I need to run?

#24p2p file transfer tool w/ some cool features like auto-accept rules, tag-based (semantic fs) syncing http://deployanything.com (win,mac,lin + pi) Tech: C++11, Qt, node.js :)
Wow, that's cool. Very cool. Do you guys have any competitors? Does this even need a server to use? If it's p2p, it's already decentralized, right?

#25I've been working on http://www.postalcandy.co.uk - it was an MVP test for two weeks. It has been an idea I kept coming back to for a while now. I really want to sell a fun product. While it's just basic technically, I've learned a lot about A/B testing & driving traffic. Have taken the first few orders which is proof of concept! Currently working on the next version, integrating more product images & branding too. A…
I really like the concept of PC, however what puts me off ever so slightly is the use of a .co.uk domain whilst all the currency is USD, surely either a .com or £GBP would make it more uniform?

#26Nice idea for a thread! I'm working on a new project management tool called Matterhorn.io its for companies who are design led and follow agile for development. There are a million and one project management apps but none of them are a fit for us, we like basecamp but need a scrumboard, we like jira but find its too complicated. We are building a happy medium
Used Pivotal Tracker?

#28I am working on a survey programming and cross tabulation engine. It's open source hosted here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtcc
There are 2 versions of the Survey compiler, one in production use and a newer version in advanced prototype targeted at tablets etc. The production use compiler is targeted at India and the Middle East and anywhere else where you do Market Research using Pen and Paper format. It can generate outputs for IBM SPSS-Quantum (a specialised software for data processing) and SPSS and and my own cross tabulation engine, described below. Our current offering to clients is a potential 70% speedup in data processing using our system for Pen and Paper data entry.
The cross tabulation engine is on similar lines to IBM SPSS-Quantum but removes many limitations and is potentially much faster. I tested it on 1 million records - each record had about 64000 conditions, it was able to process the data in 20 seconds (I tried this after seeing Evan Miller's post on HN and someone asked about how fast his software was on 10 million records). I compile the input programs to simple C++ fixed size arrays and data is stored on disk as a flat file, fixed length per record. I have been experimenting with sse instructions - there is a lot of potential for further speed improvement.
This is a git repository, active branches are: nc - this is a stable version of the compiler, but uses ncurses and
web-questionnaire-2: this is the new survey compiler
Active GUIs/Framewors we can compile to are :
1. gtk
2. wxWidgets
3. webtoolkit
I have also separated out the runtime environment so that we can compile with emscripten
Using this, we can compile with
1. Dojo, ExtJs
2. DojoMobile - I could not get Sench Touch to work.
rdg: this is a branch for a Random Data generator. This was used to generate the 1 million records for my testing. I was able to get it to go at a speed of about 170 records a second.
If anyone is interested in playing with it, please write to me - my email should be all over the source code. We are also looking to make a business out of this (I have 2 friends and family investors).

I think you have a lot of choices, so it comes down to personal preferences.
Basically this tool will only work against a local set of Maildirs, so your job is to get the mail from the remote host onto your local system in Maildir form.
Off the top of my head that means one of:
* imapsync
* fetchmail
* offlineimap

Well the produce is coming from the UK & my target audience is the US.
I do have the .com domain too but I'm currently trying to wrestle it away from the clutches of GoDaddy & waiting for it to transfer.
