We are now building a smart communication platform, where files and links are never lost. Think of a shared folder with a chat built in. https://staply.co Feedback is welcome.

Can't tell you much about the service, since I haven't used it, but your translation to Russian is flawed: "Обмен файлами начинается с _общениями_" should be "... общения". my 2c :)

Thanks. We'll fix that :)

Working on TruckPlease https://www.truckplease.com/ If you need to move something you can post it there and guys with trucks and moving companies around you will put down quotes for the job. Then you can accept/decline the quotes and get connected to the mover. It's a Rails app. The focus is on stuff within the same city (or county at least) so shorter local moves.

It's mostly in Vancouver, BC right now although we get stuff posted from all over the US and Canada.

I'm currently working on a hackernews with tags, recently got confirmation of a 100-employee company that they want it.

It was on hold because of waiting for them, but i just had a meeting with one of their employees, that gave the go-signal.

Also, it contains an API and a full role system + tag management (inheritance and much more)

My second project is Surveyor, that can send emails to people, requesting feedback (eg. An after sale mail). But currently using it for sending mailings to website launches (to people who signed up on landing pages) for clients. I am currently using it only internally, because it's not ready for public use.

So the scope of the second project is making a small change.

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.

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 a few weeks ago and have been getting positive feedback from a passionate, but small(and growing) user base.

Mostly an educational operating system/monitor (and a platform to run it on) that is between Arduino/Processing and Linux in complexity to provide a platform for teaching the 'mid-layer' of computer science people who have had at least Algebra level mathematics.

I'm enjoying looking at the git commit history of a weekend project that just reached its one-year-in-development anniversary :). It's still weekend project size/scope, but I've redone it 10 different ways in 3 different languages. That's called procrastination.
