We're building an SMS chatbot for the Canadian cannabis market. It allows you to purchase marijuana directly from dispensaries and licensed producers in a few messages. We’re adding NLP and a basic recommendation engine to help increase retention and drive purchases. We built out the infrastructure in a hackathon and are grinding away at an MVP. Starting to demo for dispensaries soon. I think we’re really on to somet…

#415A cross-platform dual-pane file manager [1]. It made the front page and top 10 on Product Hunt last month. I'm busy implementing feature requests and figuring out a way to grow it sustainably. [1]: https://fman.io
Feature requests (windows): a right-click context menu, remove confirmation dialog box on drag and drop.

#416Development is going slowly because there is a lot of research output that is difficult to integrate into one consistent architecture (also a weekend project), but working prototype with example usage is here:

#418Too many projects, nothing is ever finished :(
I envy the people who a) have some creative ideas and b) manage to ship them. More than once an offhand remark of "wouldn't it be nice if we had X" made me write the damn thing in a much better way than I could have ever described a project of mine. Maybe that's also the reason I'll probably never start a company again (and if, it would be consulting again, not a product)
To not completely derail the topic, I recently launched a small microblog at http://f5n.org/nano/ - mostly to test a web framework and also to not clutter my blog with small blurbs. As you can see I immediately stopped using it after the launch :)

#420I'm going to be living on a sail boat, probably. I mean I own the boat.
StarshipHub is (going to be) my management console for dealing with the two types of data.
* Live, real-time(ish) data about things like how much water you have, or the GPS co-ords of all the boats who's AIS transmitters you can hear.
* Static cache of files, mostly web sites.
For the former, I'm using rethinkdb. For the later, ipfs (because it's neat). The frontend is going to be written in ember, and the server in python/aiohttp/websockets.
