A friend and I launched https://cronitor.io last week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7917587). It's a simple cron/scheduled jobs monitoring and alerting tool.

We built it after trying to use a similar tool, but were unhappy with the types of alerts we could set.

It's still in its infancy, but we have a couple of paying customers and are trying to get feedback from as many people as we can. If anyone has a few minutes to look it over and offer feedback I'd greatly appreciate it!

http://github.com/NebulousLabs/mkvsynth

Non-linear script-controlled video editor for Linux; basically Avisynth reimagined for the 2010s. Our scripting system in particular is a massive upgrade from Avisynth's bloated and ugly language.

Development has slowed a bit due to my involvement in a startup venture, but the only thing missing at this point is a decent standard library of filters. If anyone (esp. in the encoding community) is interested in helping out or taking over the project, please get in touch or open a pull request. We think this is a program that the encoding community would really benefit from.

You might be able to use the filters from libavfilter

Building an open-source forum-as-a-service platform, so schools/companies/friends can have a cool place to speak online. I hope this will be cool and appreciated.

That's interesting. Is there any demo running online? I'm also building forum software, http://www.debiki.com/forum/#/ You're aware about Discourse, http://discourse.org , I suppose? How is your software different from Discourse?

Not yet, a previous vision was http://kioto.io but now I'm switching to something less pie-in-the-sky. If you want to know more about it, just email me! (see my profile)

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.

If you haven't taken a look at Nimrod, it might give you some ideas, or perhaps inspire you to be a code contributor! As a python guy, I'm really liking it for some hobby work I'm doing. The compiler and standard library are MIT licensed.

Also, there's a recent forum posting about the decision not to do LLVM codgen for now: http://forum.nimrod-lang.org/t/480. Perhaps you can ask some questions of the main contributors; they're quite responsive.

http://guildbit.com/ - Free, temporary, 10-slot Mumble servers for the gaming community. I built this so gamers can easily deploy Mumble servers without having to subscribe to a service or install their own server. I've been working on this for the past 6 months or so and recently added purchased upgrades via Bitcoin (Stripe soon).

great idea, look into the eve community.

Also think a temporary mumble channel api would be cool, for the premium server folks.

http://www.smartvaletparking.com

SmartValet is an app that allow people to interact with valet parking locations via mobile apps to improve their experience when valet parking their vehicles. Some of the features of using SmartValet are paying with credit cards, requesting a car pickup and up to date information about your parked car (cost, time, etc). SmartValet also provides a dashboard for the valet parking location with awesome reports and real-time location information.

1. A git-based version control system for music projects, with branch/merge and cloud sync. I know others exist in this space, but I'm building a vital workflow tool for pro users, rather than a social network (which seems to be the direction others are taking). 2. An archive of classic Mac OS software which you can run in the browser. I previously ported a mac emulator to the browser[0], now I am building a wrapper…

As for 1, I'm working on something similar. I'm curious about your approach to the idea.
