I'm a data scientist who is building Slipper, an iOS app that uses algorithms to reconnect and recommend missed connections. In beta now, but ~5% of new users are matched on sign-up with a real post written about them. Launching later this month, perhaps early October. Feedback most definitely welcome! https://slipperapp.com (also sneakily available in the App Store if you feel like checking it out: https://itunes.ap…

Currently making a website that tracks the prices of Counter Strike: Global Offensive items in the Steam Market. http://i.imgur.com/fvm4HHK.png

Uses a Python backend which I am very proud of, as it works very well and simply.

Its's a work in progress, but really excited to get it up and running.

I am building just another AWS automation tool but hiding any AWS related concept. Integrating a lot of services like MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra and all this cool hyped stuff.

APIs, REST, distributed, fault tolerance... Loving Netflix OSS!!

http://devo.ps - Making dealing with servers not suck. Want a new box on Digital Ocean with NGINX + Node.js + Redis? A few lines of YAML, git add/commit/push and you're done. You can use your EC2, Rackspace, Linode or Digital Ocean account, and you manage everything (servers and automation) in Git. To illustrate my point: - Adding a simple NGINX server using the Web UI: http://docs.devo.ps/how-to/add-a-server/ - The…

Very nice looking website, love it!

I'm working on a game that reads the files and folders in your computer and generates a Huge castle based on it: http://adventuros.evelend.com/blog/

Looks and sounds cool!

Thank you! we are taking a lot of time to get it working as we want it. We should be less perfectionist and release faster, but it is hard :(

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The basic idea is fairly similar. The key difference is that, instead of you requesting someone to have lunch, the app automatically pairs you with someone. I believe this would make the experience much more natural and fun. Also it solves the problem, where a large number of users are only interested in having lunch with a few people (VIPs on LetsLunch). I'm hoping this will make HackerLunch more about meeting inter…

I haven't used LetsLunch in years but the last time I did it was random pairing. You couldn't actually decide who to meet although you could submit who you'd be interested in and what general areas of interest were. If they changed that aspect then it sounds like you're building the original LetsLunch concept.

Hey guys! I'm the founder of http://LetsLunch.com we still have the automatching feature which schedules your lunches two days in advance. infact it is the most popular feature on our site. We do have a mobile app coming up in few weeks that will have same day matches and other geolocation/mobile based stuff. Good to see other sites coming up in this field.
