I wanted to create a de-stressing website for myself.
Right now it's in the baby stage, long-term goals are to have full motion video and audio based on weather and time of day. But for now, baby steps.
I made this as a challenge to make a site that is as compressed as possible, and mobile responsive so anyone in any browser can use it.
My goal is to make it the world's #1 website for users and fans of agricultural equipment.
Here are a couple of screenshots of the new version: http://www.tractorfan.nl/topic/90241/
This is the best project I have ever done because I have the chance to do everything better. I now have the time to read up on best practices, new technologies and am not afraid to throw away a couple of days of design or coding work. Best decision I ever made (so far).
CPAP.com Unlike 98% of the industry, we sell CPAP equipment for cash prices. This means that you, not the insurance company, are the respected and valued customer. The "cash CPAP" space means: 1. A market incentive to build people first instead of billing code first products. 2. A market comfort items that would never be produced in a billing code world. 3. A system where it pays to pick up the phone and know all abo…
My current side project is Vcardme. It's a service for hosting your contact information at a URL where it can be accessed or saved. Idea being you should put your Vcardme URL in your email sig.
For me, what really makes it awesome, is the iOS app that allows you to save Vcardme links to your iOS phone book and also subscribes you to updates for the contacts you saved. So your iOS Contacts would stay up to date, automagically.
It's a map of sport clubs (gyms, karate dojos, swimming pools, etc) in Slovenia.
Why I made it?
After moving back to Slovenia I started looking for a traditional Karate dojo. My choice would be constrained by hour of training and dojo philosophy (traditional karate vs sports karate). It turned out to be really difficult to find all the dojos nearby, as they neither on Google Maps, and many have very poor website (and terrible SEO). I spend two days Googling for all the possible hits, and I had created a list of Karate dojos. After selecting one (which turned out to be great), I thought that other people would be able to benefit from the list. So I made this website, where all the karate dojos were plotted on a map. Later, I started adding more categories.
Why it's awesome?
It's a time saver, and I am trying to convert it to a community maintained website. And it's all open source. To exist it requires zero maintenance, and hosting costs 0.30 EUR per month.
Going forward
1) I want to expand it to more categories 2) I am looking for partnerships with sport organizations who would like to place a Zatresi map on their website for their visitors to more easily find related klubs (e.g. a the karate organization could show the map of all karate klubs in Slovenia) 3) Even more brand awareness - this requires more time investment, so it's tricky. I am trying to identify clusters where I could have the most impact (sport forums, etc)
Spyce: Python in outer space! Basically, a very much work-in-progress pile of code to plan orbital trajectories and interplanetary travel. Its also quite handy when doing simple computations: >>> # distance to the Sun, in light-seconds >>> Earth.orbit.semi_major_axis / c 499.00650691887006 >>> # Martian year, in (usual Earth) days >>> Mars.orbit.period / Earth.solar_day 686.9944644093075 >>> # ping to New Horizons (l…
Very cool - going to hand this off to some of my colleagues to play around with
Don't hesitate to contact me at either yoha@sinon.org or at the mail address on my Github profile, if someone have an issue installing. It should work on both Linux and Windows but I have not yet any nice packaging, so it might require some tweaking around (i.e. installing PyOpenGL on Windows manually).
Ushering in a new era of productivity
I'm working on BankBotsBank ( https://github.com/bankbotsbank/bankbotsbank ), an open effort to develop a collection of open-source bots that provide API access to accounts on any bank. I developed the first bot, which can be used as a sample, with JavaScript (ES6, and ES7's async/await) and Nightmare (based on Electron, so on Chromium). It's awesome because free API access to this data for any bank in the world may…
Have you thought of making some sort of framework that can handle security and aggregate the data, and have developers plug in the bank specific bots?
I rewrote https://www.w3counter.com from scratch over the past month, and just put it online two days ago. W3Counter was a 12-year-old website offering web stats reports and hit counters with 30-something-thousand users. I ditched all the old code, and the data model, and the business model, and started from scratch. New framework, new way of storing and analyzing stats that scales better and provides more value, and…
