What: https://www.uncover.com Why is it cool: In the fifteen months we've been in operation, we've never lost a customer. It just gives everyone a smile on their face and that's the type of businesses that I like to work on.

Heads up: the site doesn't appear to render correctly on Safari on iOS.

Yeah. Noted. We don't have a mobile site yet. Lack of resources at the moment, but I hope to do it soon.

Great idea and execution! Just curious - why the name "uncover"?

Thank you!

Good question. The broader idea originally was to "uncover employee happiness" but we've held off on the measure/metrics part of the business to build up the perks/rewards side.

PlanitWide: A whole new approach to planning trips that's faster & easier (for everyone not just those that are savvy/in the know): http://www.planitwide.com

It's cool because it brings together: a) a travel focused vertical search engine that's categorized 1000+ (sometimes interlinked) variables that can be found without typing a single word (just pick from easily labelled menu options) and presented as highly relevant result shortlists vs 100s of pages of results

and

b) an intelligent itinerary generator that helps you arrive at a realistic final itinerary faster by letting you shortlist content from these results and allowing you to iterate faster by presenting what-if scenarios based on how you construct your final itinerary.

Better Search + Intelligent Itinerary Creation = Faster And Easier Trip Plans

Working on http://beatsimporter.com It uses Ruby/Rails, Nginx and MySQL.. It imports playlists from Spotify, Rdio, iTunes and plain ole CSV files. It even will import a subscribed playlist from Spotify. I welcome feedback, comments and issues.. so check it out..

Why is it cool.. 1. when I wrote it a month ago it was the only importer for Beats Music (need to look to see if it still is)..

2. I wrote it because I was moving the family from Spotify and Grooveshark to BeatsMusic and I knew my daughters wouldn't manually move their 500+ song playlists.. So everything I do for my daughters is cool.. (well.. maybe not in their eyes. haha)

scridx.com It's a screenplay search engine. I couldn't find any adequate resources out there so decided to build my own. I've got much loftier goals for it, but all in good time.

Awesome product. I would have loved this in film school or when I was a reader at a production company.

Thanks, much appreciated. Exactly the kind of people I'm trying to target. Students in film school would benefit greatly from this kind of resource for educational purposes. I hope to become the defacto source for scripts and at some point approach studios to gain access to more.
