I work for a screen printing and embroidery company and the software to run the business is absolutely horrible and bad business model, but the alternatives aren't that great. We're building it for ourselves, and are going to open it up to other companies and offer a modern efficient approach to manage your whole business.
Pavlok -- ( http://buy.pavlok.com ) --- a wearable device to change behavior. We just integrated with IFTTT and now it has become a haptic feedback platform. The device can vibrate, beep, and send electric shocks. And we are releasing a developer API later this month :)
" And then my phone got hacked, and then my Pavlok started shocking me over and over again. When I tried to remove it, it locked on tighter. 'I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid you've asked me not to allow that, Dave' "

It's one of those cool mechanical displays that were common in train/airport terminals before digital signage took over.

I'm building a faster, easier way to search for Magic: the Gathering cards.
The big question: how can you replace a clunky "advanced search" with a simple smart text box?
Taskforce makes life easier for people who need to get real work done directly from Gmail. It's a Chrome extension that lets you add notes to emails, convert emails into to-dos, and schedule emails for later, all without leaving your inbox. It makes email triage a breeze, and saves you from forgetting to handle to important emails from clients, customers, etc.
I've been working on this as a side project for the past year, but it started life as a YC company back in 2011, so some people have been using it for over 5 years now!
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…
Symmetry Labs! http://symmetrylabs.com/ I'm working on a new paradigm for creating generative content for 3D displays (at the moment with LEDs). I'm also working on real-time, single-angle virtual reconstruction and registration of 3D LED structures using computer vision techniques.
I saw that Symmetry Labs did the Generate music video! I honestly thought that was CGI! Do you have any tips of getting started with the type of LED display work you do, with regards to the control software?

They both provide good starting points to working with LEDs arranged in arbitrary 2D and 3D configurations.
You can also check out the code for 2 different LED art projects I've worked on, both built on top of LX.
Tabula - https://github.com/squaredproject/Tabula LED fins on the side of a building in Palo Alto, visualizing earthquake data. Construction starts later this year
2Squared - https://github.com/squaredproject/2squared 50-ft LED trees created in 2014 for Burning Man and Coachella
Static site generator that you manage from the browser. Currently publishes to S3 or a zip file. No help from servers.
The load time is currently slow because I am pushing unminified code and all the transpiling happens in the browser. With JSPM I can hot load applications but sadly github doesn't allow cross origin requests.
I'm working on an incentivized mesh network. Basically, routers pay each other to forward packets. A routing protocol takes price into consideration and tries to get packets over the cheapest routes. Intermediary routers pay each other over payment channels. End users pay backbone connections with multihop (lightning) payments over the payment channels of the intermediary nodes. End result is that last-mile ISP's are…
