This is mine. 2 weeks ago I set out to learn how to write android apps, and do gaze tracking. Story here: http://blog.chewxy.com/2014/04/08/eyetracking-jetpack-joyrid...

The result is http://eyemap.io. It's a simple-to-use, affordable gaze tracking analytics system with your tablet. I'm still testing if people actually want the service. It's hard to make sense of it, because people sign up to the mailing list but nobody would pay for it.

This is a good idea that just needs to be marketed in the right way.

Nothing really special here. Being a perfectionist I haven't been able to find any expense-tracker apps that I like. Most have either to much stuff going on, or are too focused on being pretty. Or are too 'budget' inspired. I don't have any spend-too-much problems, I just want to keep track of my expenses out of pure interest in recording stuff. So there is no budget-functionality, only pure minimal expense-income tracking. Just the way I want it.

Since I am travelling I've also made it so that I can easy input the expenses in the currency but at the same time always have a converted "main currency" visible. I haven't been able to find another app that did that in a smooth way.

I will have some basic charts also in the future, dropbox sync etc.

My personal thing is a landing page I am putting up for personalized chopsticks: http://i.imgur.com/DyFIItZ.png Hopefully I can get it launched next week and see if I can get some orders. I used these chopsticks as an extra gift to current customers and they seemed to like it and were wanting to order more, so that's why I decided to work on a separate page for those.

I was in the middle of commenting on how laggy the input to your text box was being before I realized that I'm practicing a rather special brand of idocy this morning.

Screenshot Saturday will take some getting used to.

I've been creating something completely reckless for the last two weekends.

Github: https://github.com/kijin/qade (MIT License)

QADE (Quick and Dirty Editor) allows anyone who can access it over the web to view and/or edit any file that the web server process has access to, as well as execute any arbitrary shell command and view the result right on the web page (via the "Console" tab). It's written in good ol' spaghetti PHP with a generous topping of AJAX. Because why not? The idea is insane to begin with, anyway.

The screenshot shows QADE editing itself over the web. The webshell lets me commit my changes and push it to Github, right in the comfort of a web browser. The editor component is ACE, which provides syntax highlighting for every language I care about as well as a regexp-enabled find & replace function.

The "New" button currently doesn't work, so you have to use the webshell and `touch` files that you want to create.

All in all, it's a security nightmare, and it's supposed to be. It might have some legitimate uses if you put it behind TLS, a good firewall, a chroot and HTTP authentication, but you really shouldn't take any chances with it unless you know what you're doing. If anybody uploads QADE to a shared server that you control, kick them out ASAP ;)

Chinese Text Analyser: http://www.chinesetextanalyser.com/

A tool for analysing and segmenting Chinese text to help identify content appropriate for your vocab level and help prioritise which words in a given piece of text you should learn.

It also opens large text files instantly.

I just sent out a PCB to fab: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/538662/dorkbotboard.png

It's an open-source pocketable e-paper device with an (Arduino compatible) ATmega, USB transceiver, Real Time Clock, FRAM, and coin cell Li-Ion rechargeable via USB. It also has five buttons along the top. Whole thing should be around 4mm thick. Repo here: http://github.com/Hylian/arducard

Some potential applications: QR codes, barcodes for rewards cards, Google Auth OTP, text terminal for a Raspberry Pi, etc.

Unfortunately, it seems I missed a certain small detail... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/538662/missedtrace.png

How would you market this?

How accurate is the tracking? Recently tried to do gaze tracking on an iPad for a hackathon and whilst we were able to detect viewing direction (left, right, up, down) getting an actual pixel info was nearly impossible. We had stable and good eye corner and pupil detection, the problem was the movements were just so small the data got extremely noisy.

Curious how you approached that!

Cool! This shouldn't be on the server permanently I guess. But I am going to use it for doing quick edits on the server when in development phase. I use cpanel for that currently.
