The easiest way to announce new stuff and updates to users/customers of webapps.
Something like what Intercom does, but simpler, better and easier.
P.S: What's live now is a working v0.001 MVP. More to come, yet.
It's coffee networking with a twist and I should be launching towards the end of the year.
Sign-up now and I'll let you know as soon as the beta starts.
Tech used: Swift, Node.JS, Koa.js, Neo4j.

I started it because I wanted to revise some data mining algorithms, I've since moved on to an unrelated career, but I'm still truly addicted to contributing...
I've been working on a little quizzing SaaS: http://jquizzy.com Tech: Laravel on HHVM + Postgres plus a lot of little things. History: Did a soft launch of the beta sometime ago on HN. No comments here but drove a bunch of traffic and feedback so I'm iterating.
I wanted a static site generator that could have a CMS so that I could pass the sites over to friends or clients so they could update it. Essentially, a not-terrible Wordpress that wasn't blog centric and bloated. http://www.webhook.com I built it over the summer, funded it through Kickstarter and have slowly been building a nice little client base of recurring revenue. The code itself is open source so it's self-hos…
http://omnomzom.com It's a LAM(PHP) stack on DigitalOcean, nothing fancy. I specifically kept it simple so that I could get it out the door. Even though the tech behind it isn't anything amazing or useful I'm having a lot of fun drawing comics and seeing what people come up with!
The site (and my drawing skills) are still very in beta - only 21 users so far, mostly my friends & family.
Done so far:
- I've defined a JSON format for declarative web scrapers (ScraperJSON: https://github.com/ContentMine/scraperJSON)
- made a Node library for web scraping with ScraperJSON scrapers (thresher: https://github.com/ContentMine/thresher)
- as well as a command-line client (quickscrape: https://github.com/ContentMine/quickscrape)
- and a small library of ScraperJSON scrapers for scientific publishers that is about to start expanding rapidly (https://github.com/ContentMine/journal-scrapers).
Next step is to build the web interface that will let people compose data mining pipelines. Imagine something like:
- "give me a feed of all the articles in journals with 'Cancer' in the title that use HeLa cells in their methods"
- "alert me when a new paper comes out that mentions species X alongside a geographical reference"
- "find all the papers that mention my software in the methods but don't cite me"
I'm currently working on Kobra, a realtime collaborative code editor, mostly during my lunch breaks. https://Kobra.io Tech Used: AngularJS, Firebase, Firepad, EasyRTC Statistics: Just broke 700 registered users and 5000 file collaborated on. Have made a little over $2000 from 125 people going Pro. History: I started back in December, but gave up too soon. I've since relaunched it as a smaller product and am super hap…
This is really god damn cool. Totally going to start using this every time I talk about code on my social networks. Thanks a ton.
hamsterdb http://hamsterdb.com a embedded key-value database with storage structures and algorithms similar to column store databases. basically you can create your own column store database in your application. Right now i'm busy making the next release, and writing a research paper about database compression.
