I'm working on a document-oriented database engine written purely in Python: BlitzDB! https://github.com/adewes/blitzdb My motivation was that I needed (wanted?) a pure-Python document database that does not have any dependencies (like pymongo) and provides querying capabilities similar to MongoDB. Currently, Blitz is under active development and comes with a file-based backend as well as a MongoDB backend. Contribut…

Working on a Digital Audio Workstation in HTML5 / Web Audio API, front and back end: http://hya.io

This is one of the projects I most admire in the space. It's the ideal I set my programming learning around when I started teaching myself this stuff. Upvoted

I am making a "paddle game synthesizer." It is a Pong-style game engine that is designed to have all game parameters be easy/fun to tune, from the game's physics and logic upwards to the audiovisuals. It also includes connectivity options so that MIDI devices can be used to control parameters.

In parallel with this project I am also working on a longer-term software sound synthesis project - a framework containing synthesizers, effects, and sequencers.

I'm working on a todo list with a Seinfeld calendar. My take is that there are only three categories: Work, Home, Personal. There are two buckets of tasks, Short term and long term. You'd move long term tasks into the short term when you start working on them. At the beginning of the week, you'd move the tasks from the short term into the day of the week that you planning to work on them. The catch is, you can only w…

Very nice idea I'm interested in this

My significant other and I are working on a new kind of wedding registry (a wish list for wedding gifts) in our spare time: https://wed.is

It solves two big problems for us when we were looking at existing options:

- If we chose a registry we were stuck with the products it had to offer

I'm working on a programming language. It's a reimagining of Python as a statically-typed, compiled language. The compiler is written in Python and targets LLVM IR. Currently working towards support for exceptions; raising already works, currently trying to work my way through all the stuff that needs to work for catching.

You might like to check out InfraRuby for ideas. It's a compiler for statically typed Ruby, compatible with Ruby interpreters. Free download at http://infraruby.com/

I'm working on PhoneCard, a service to make cheap international phone calls without requiring a data connection. You enter the phone number in the webapp and it calls you. Next time you're using poor hotel wifi or you're frustrated with skype (e.g. multiple disconnects per hour), try PhoneCard for a high-quality call. PhoneCard can call most places in the world, and in some countries you can also purchase incoming nu…

Eh, didn't work for me. I entered the number of my mobile phone and my landline, and neither rang.

I guess it's just an issue pertaining to Serbia (or maybe I'm doing something wrong?). No service works here unless they specifically mention they do. It's a frustrating thing :)
