http://imgur.com/wPiLY0u Chinese Text Analyser: http://www.chinesetextanalyser.com/ A tool for analysing and segmenting Chinese text to help identify content appropriate for your vocab level and help prioritise which words in a given piece of text you should learn. It also opens large text files instantly.

From the screnshot that looks really cool, but the main use case I would have is ancient Chinese and I'm unconvinced the analysis would remain accurate with ancient Chinese grammar. Also, there's no Linux version. :( Good job though... from an Australian in China.

I'm working on feenbox, a service to receive feeds on your inbox, with geek-friendly features.

It's about a week close to alpha launch. Would you be interested if I make a call for alpha users on HN?

Working on my website for my wedding. Using it as an opportunity to teach myself Django, so that I can make mistakes here before I start using it for a work project. Right now, I'm working on adding the ability to RSVP for events.

It's been really great to learn how to use Docker, Redis, Postgres, etc. to make this come together. Overkill likely, but still fun. :-)

My personal thing is a landing page I am putting up for personalized chopsticks: http://i.imgur.com/DyFIItZ.png Hopefully I can get it launched next week and see if I can get some orders. I used these chopsticks as an extra gift to current customers and they seemed to like it and were wanting to order more, so that's why I decided to work on a separate page for those.

What would be really cool is if you showed what they would look like with the name on them as you typed it.

It's an OS X application called Honeycast for composing audio/video layers and broadcasting (much like XSplit for Windows). The screenshot shows a session with a couple screen region snapshots and a webcam's video being composited.

I have been working on buttery smooth 60FPS screen capture (really tricky on these retina Macbooks with underpowered GPUs). It's looking great.

Now, I'm working on the RTMP protocol to communicate with video streaming servers (Twitch.tv, Justin.tv, YouTube, etc.).

I'm hoping to release to the App Store soon. The closest solution like Honeycast on Mac is the $500 Wirecast. I think there are a group of people that could benefit from a cheaper solution!

I'm building a cool xkcd web client:

prototype: https://api.monosnap.com/image/download?id=hZZrJ4zp5DyOR5HNo...

It will allow users to: - See which ones the have read (kind of like email) - Favourite comics - Discuss them in comment thread - Search through the comics (using title, number, alt-text and transcript) - Set up notification schedules, e.g. "Put a random comic in IRC at 2 o'clock every weekday" or "Email me the latest comic when it comes out"

I will hopefully be launching it within the next few months... :)

Screenshot: https://github.com/pavben/WebIRC#screenshot GitHub: https://github.com/pavben/WebIRC I decided to blend an IRC client and a BNC into one, and build this from scratch in Node.js with an AngularJS frontend. Run it on your server and stay connected to IRC 24/7 while hiding your home IP behind the server. Access the same session (server connections, open channels, PMs) from work/home/iPad simultaneously and h…

Cool, I've always wanted to do something like this. I love my IRC & BNC set-up and have always thought that other chat systems could learn a lot from it, and at the same time that the process could be simplified for newer users.

I searched for your site and found lots of pages about vibrators - not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Nice work! I've been looking for a good flight simulator for Android (X-plane is nice but feels amazingly limited). What is this written in? Would it be possible to port it to Harmattan?

Thanks! It's written in C#, we use Xamarin to target both iOS and Android. We also have a PC version running on standard MS.NET I'm not familiar with Harmattan.

MeeGo Harmattan is the Linux-based OS that runs on the Nokia N9 and N950: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9 It's more popular in Europe than America. And I know I'm probably dreaming, as most developers skip it in favor of porting to larger platforms, but it seems Mono does have framework bindings for Meego (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)#Framework_archi...)

I'm using the iPhone 5s 120 FPS camera to take a really fast panorama: did my first test in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwAOXroBL-k and here is the result https://www.dropbox.com/s/ggk0b0fmcvfp77x/photo.JPG looking forward for daylight. should produce much better results.

Pretty cool!
