#113I am building Lightningbeam (http://lightningbeam.blogspot.com), which is a vector graphics animation program that aims to be an open-source replacement for Adobe Flash. It can export to both SWF and HTML5 Canvas, and supports ActionScript on both platforms (meaning you can write code once and run it on all platforms).

#114http://www.chat-correct.com Free video chat using WebRTC for teachers/students doing online English lessons. You can click on a chat bubble and correct your partner's English. The app then automatically color codes and annotates the mistakes. The app will also track your mistakes (by type) over time.
Nice! Assuming I couldn't use this with another language, correct?

#115http://elections.io/ (site not available just yet) - open data platform with historical election results and candidates. Launching in the next few weeks for the EU Parliament, UK 1/3 council, London borough, and mayoral elections.
Just out of curiosity, how are you going to monetize this?
I'm not interested in monetising it to be honest

#116Tree based todo list + time tracker + productivity log + deadlines + work reports Its main feature is to help you organize projects with 1000s of details in them Note: it is usable at the moment, but it is not ready http://todo.yt/
Sounds interesting. I would like to get the ability to add multiline notes to each task. Sometimes you need to describe in detail the task. And keep Mac in mind, ctrl is ugly, use cmd+enter like shortcuts in OSX.

#119I wanted to help bloggers find copyright-released images to use in blog posts, to attract more social traffic (Pinterest mainly, but also used for Twitter, Facebook.)
I got to work after sitting on the idea for a while and ended up building the product in 10 days. You can read about the development process here: http://antinecktie.com/idpinthat-com-idea-launch/
Or just check the site out: IdPinThat.com
The project is OSS so you can check out the code on github (read the about page of IdPinThat.com for more info and repo)

Thanks. Yes, the algorithm only works for English (as it currently stands). If you have interest or ideas for making it work in other languages I would love to hear from you.
