I am following two projects one extremely technical and another more sale oriented. The technical one is rediSQL[1] I am embedding SQLite into a redis module. Until few days ago I had performance issues that I wasn't able to figure out and I tracked everything in an issues. I finally figured out the problem, solve it, gain a lot of performance and I am about to write a blog post about. The next step is to get the exa…

Are you sure you're allowed to print other company's logos on stickers and sell them?

It is actually a n area that I haven't completely understand.

Most trademarks are registered in order to avoid that an unrelated tech product "steal"/"take advantage" of another well know product name.

Other companies sell similar stickers so I didn't actually bothered too much asking, I will definitely make this straight if I will made something worthed out of this side business.

Recently finished http://hackerpixels.com/ - a side project to extract all video links from HN comments (and play with Docker). It's a huge time waster - the videos are very much in sync with the community, which is a good thing.

This is interesting. Is your overall goal something like Hacker Books or is there a different vision for the ropes of videos you include?

I wanted to see what kind of videos would come out and they turned out to be of good quality so I released it. Right now it has rather low traffic so I am not thinking too much about monetization, I might open source it and write a blog post if I find some time.

Whoops, autocorrect — *types not ropes

Are you filtering the videos or including everything?

http://www.averageweather.io - get average weather data, fast. Great for planning vacations, weddings, which marathon to pick etc. I shared on r/weddingplanning and it shot to the top which was exciting. Made $20 in Adsense and had 2k visits in one day. I've also had some tweets from people with 100k+ following, so for around a week now I am averaging like 300 uniques a day. So, now I ask, how can I make some real si…

Can you handle queries over a few months? It would be nice to handle the use case: I'm looking at planning a vacation to Place X in July, August, or September, and quickly discern whether the weather is better at any certain week in that period.

So you'd want to search like all of July at once, and so on? Is that right?

Yeah, something like being able to know when over the course of the summer, say perhaps 3 months, temperatures in Miami are warm but not excessively hot. I really like to travel at the tails of top season for this reason, but that's really just a proxy in place of knowing the above.

Lonely Planet offers something like this [1], but it would be nice if the data were more granular than one high/low for each month and data sources were more transparent.

I only include links to Vimeo and Youtube, otherwise no filtering on quality or topics.
