http://imgur.com/U60b29g.png In my spare time, I'm working on http://fivestar.io , which gives you the best Amazon item for a query and breaks it down by price range. So you can find the 'best' product based on relevance, popularity, reviews, and cost, without having to compare reviews and popularity yourself. The results still need some work; sometimes Amazon's API returns illogical price brackets, so a fallback is…

That's a really good idea.

Awesome idea. This week as been all about getting a second version stamped and out (nowhere near a finished version or even 1.0, but a 0.2 version) I've been working on https://ghostream.com a framework for constructing stream processing systems. Getting a first draft of the website ( http://imgur.com/ujsmjJz ) and the documentation (although there is still much to do) And after that, lots of bug fixes and environmen…

Interesting. I'm still searching for a powerful, yet simple to use stream processing library. Which projects inspired you to write ghostream.com?

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…

Have you seen Subway ( https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway )? If so do you have different goals with your project?

An awesome idea! http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1600/hahz.png That's a WIP port of Conception in Go. It's an experimental code editor/live development environment tool. What you see is an experiment at creating a Sublime Text/Atom-like fixed UI, with the list of Go packages in a tree view on the left, code in the middle, and various live widgets on the right. For instance, you can see a live git diff, the type of…

What monitor do you have?

I just sent out a PCB to fab: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/538662/dorkbotboard.png It's an open-source pocketable e-paper device with an (Arduino compatible) ATmega, USB transceiver, Real Time Clock, FRAM, and coin cell Li-Ion rechargeable via USB. It also has five buttons along the top. Whole thing should be around 4mm thick. Repo here: http://github.com/Hylian/arducard Some potential applications: QR codes,…

I was speccing out something like this a couple months ago (for TOTP), but never got past the planning stage. This looks awesome!

I've been using WebIRC for a while now, and I have to admit the convenience it offers is well worth the small cost to get it setup (my $35 a year vps wasn't doing much).

It's simple and does what you expect.

I love the idea of this, it's definitely motivational and I'm sure many of us could do with such motivation.

I know it's not Saturday, but... after seeing this thread I've decided to continue work on my Pebble watchface, Purr.

https://github.com/jbrooksuk/Purr

It was covered on TechCrunch back in January which I'm really proud of. http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/31/purr-pebble-smartwatch-app-...

And of course, the screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jbrooksuk/Purr/master/pebb... (not much to see)

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.

Not yet, but I've made sure that it runs under Wine (albeit with a few quirks mostly related to transparent images). A native version will be coming later.
