I am creating a new type of imageboard based on tagging content rather than isolating it to individual boards. Danbooru uses tags but lacks the traditional thread/reply model. http://1chan.us (NSFW)

Interesting idea. I guess you have to sign up to tag? That's probably a good idea.

I'm connecting a Hedgehog to the Internet :) . I have a hedgehog that runs all night in a wheel. Counting the laps gives me the traveled distance, so every morning he'll tweet how much he ran. He runs up to 15 km./9 miles! Check him out at https://twitter.com/runhedgie This project is a combination of hardware and software. I'm using a Raspberry Pi, a custom-built wireless node based on Arduino, Python, Redis, and a…

Very cute hedgehog.

Any particular reason you're intermixing Go and Python? For something like this I imagine Python alone would be more than suitable. And if you just wanted to mess with Go and learn it, then you probably could've used Go for the whole thing.

I'm working on an on-demand developer hub for APIs or software. Basically, dev.yourstartup.com. I want everyone to be able to have beautiful, Stripe/Twitter/Parse quality documentation. Fully customizable, all docs are collaborative (like a wiki) and versioned, support section, API signup, sync with Git(Hub), error lookup, blog/changelog, etc.

(If you're interested in beta testing, email me at my username at gmail)

I'm working on a service which provides (obfuscated) aliases of your users e-mail addresses on your own domain. It only requires some API calls to generate the aliases and eliminates e-mail servers or servers to process the e-mails. Started working on it after a request of a fellow HN'er. Check it out on: http://mailobfusc.com

I'm not sure I understand the tradeoff here.

It sounds like people are gaining a little bit of extra privacy (by preventing spammers harvesting your email) while sacrificing a ton of privacy (by allowing a a third party MitM to intercept all of their emails to and from that domain).

I actually like the idea a whole lot, but I'd prefer if this could be done in some provably confidential way (where your service has no ability to see the content of messages, only To and From).

I'm working on my startup: http://yellerapp.com . It's a smarter exception tracker, with a severe emphasis on helping you diagnose exceptions faster through better analysis. Last week I shipped time series graphs for all your exceptions, and now I'm working on some new client libraries.

Good one. Best wishes for your success.

Recently I started to again actually have enough of free time to continue in improving my toy implementation of Scheme (called dfsch, http://dfsch.org/) into something that is not a toy, but really usable. Given the fact that two months ago I actually sold an app written in dfsch it seems that it might be actually useful.
