I’m working on an online platform to store and share raw footage from action cameras like gopro / contour and others.

We’re working on things like GPS support, real slow-motion and generally designed to work better with raw footage.

I'm working on ConvoSpot (SnapChat for YikYak) iOS App. ConvoSpot creates small, temporary, geo-based chat rooms (convospots) so you can chat with people around you, and within a few hours, the messages vanish and are purged from our systems. App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/convospot/id856444697 Site: http://www.convospot.com/ The project has been a lot of fun and I've learned a lot. We released version 2…

Though I'd give it a go but Facebook login on iOS fails for me.

Here’s an example of what I mean by GPS support: https://boldkit.com/v/gidxXqcj

(the file is uploaded separately by the *gliders unless the camera has that capability)

And here’s an example of how a profile might look like: https://boldkit.com/serge-shakuto

I'm working on a new App that we're hoping to launch soon. I can't talk about what it does because our application to TC Disrupt SF is still pending. 2 man team. Our front end stack is jQuery Mobile integrated with Backbone.js, wrapped with Cordova (native ios/android App). Our back end is based on Django/Tastypie (API/JSON) hosted on Heroku (probably move to AWS before launch). So far the App has near native speed; I spent a lot of time optimizing performance (both on the front end, and also relating to the API call payloads). I think we've nailed the UX, feedback has been good.

I've been learning Unreal Engine 4. Its worth taking it for a spin just to see its visual Blueprint scripting language that compiles down to C++, which you can watch execute via animation at runtime. It also does mind-blowing things with materials on 3d objects, which can be programmed via connecting nodes visually in blueprints, which then compile down to shaders. It's technologically amazing. A sample https://www.y…

I have been doing this too! I actually just bought a new PC so that I can do hobbyist game development. Always wanted to learn game development (I'm a web developer mainly) but never got around to doing it. With the new subscription service and all, I decided to pick UE4 up to tinker around and create random things, regardless of whether or not I release a commercial game. It's amazing. :)

A fansite built for the game Smite. We offer 3D models, counterpicks and general God information.

We average around 35,000 monthly uniques and are in the process of a complete overhaul and searching for ideas to monatize other than ads. Any ideas?

Current LIVE version:

http://guildbit.com/ - Free, temporary, 10-slot Mumble servers for the gaming community.

I built this so gamers can easily deploy Mumble servers without having to subscribe to a service or install their own server.

I've been working on this for the past 6 months or so and recently added purchased upgrades via Bitcoin (Stripe soon).
