A tree-based forum visualization using js and canvas. It is intended to make it easier to follow longer discussions. Link (using proggit as test data): http://www.webnodes.org/reddit Source: http://github.com/csytan/webnodes/tree/master

I like this a lot.

I've been working on a couple of javascript projects.

The big one is best described as iTunes for Flash games - a rich internet app for creating and managing a library of Flash games - http://www.webalon.com/gamemanager/

The second thing that I have been working on is a resizeable javascript image carousel featuring a variety of transitions - you can see it in action at: http://www.webalon.com

I hope to open source the latter when complete

Two projects. One is scraping and indexing data on corporations registered in tax havens, mainly for the purpose of helping transparency researchers follow the activities and connections of businessmen, politicians, etc. I've done Panama, and am now working on a couple of others:

The second project is building a decent interface to the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. The current edition is online, charging ~$200/year for access, but the first edition is out of copyright, sitting on archive.org, and just waiting for somebody to make it accessible without the need to download several GB of scans.

I'm currently working on a mp3tag-like tag editor for Linux called puddletag which you can find at puddletag.sourceforge.net. Don't download it yet though. I'm releasing a update tomorrow with a large number of bugfixes and improvements.
