Truly very inspirational. I was wondering about the new year resolutions for 2013. Thanks jazzychad for a direction. I am still a long long way from creating and developing applications like the ones mentioned in your list. But someday I wish to get there too. Planning to start with a list like this year! What could be a better resolution than learn something new and then build something from that knowledge gained. So wishing myself luck for my endeavor!

#52Jeez, I thought I had a lot of side projects, but I think you have me beat.

Neat projects! A lot of useful things for developers in there. My projects for this year are less developer oriented, just random things I thought were interesting at the time: Six Degrees of Bowie - http://www.sixdegreesofbowie.com/ - simple musical influencers graph web-workers-fallback - https://github.com/typpo/web-workers-fallback - webworker compatibility layer Github Participation Graph - https://github.com/ty…
Asterank is frankly inspiring, thanks so much for sharing - well done!

Where did you get the data for Asterank? The visualization part looks pretty neat.

#55Only one true sideproject for me in 2012: CallMeMae.be: http://callmemae.be Business Card sharing and exchange. Built it at an eight hour hackathon and won the grand prize, making it my only profitable project to date! In the new year I'm hoping to rewrite from the ground up as a telephone proxy service, but still need to do the customer validation.

Would you mind elaborating on that a little bit? I'm working on something similar and would love to hear what others are doing.
Re: All of my side-projects from 2012
#56I would pay for a site/newsletter that sent me side projects like these (and the others mentioned on this thread) on a daily basis. These are fantastic!
interesting... sort of like a http://builtwithbootstrap.com/ style site or newsletter? perhaps also a featured section for people to promote their projects... ?
Yup. That could be your next project :)

#57nice list! I also did a similar post, and since people seem to be posting theirs here, here's mine: http://blog.mroth.info/blog/2012/11/11/the-year-in-side-proj...
hi - just wanted to say i loved your blog post, I am taking a look at setting up a prototype of pigstream just to get a feel for Ruby and Heroku. It is going well though I got stuck at installing the dependencies for the project. (bundle install...erm wat)Ill figure it out soon. All good fun though!

That's very negative, despite the disclaimer. And from what I've seen of the above, people aren't writing ten crappy side projects, many of them are excellent. Staying focused on one thing is fine too, but for many of us, we like to dabble in many things. If Giotto is your way of learning python and building another (python) web framework then that's fine too. One difference is that many of the above side projects ar…
Its not about size, its about length of development. Great software takes more than a few days to create. I think the most direct indicator of software quality is number of commits. A project with 10 commits is probably full of bugs. A project with 400 commits has probably had enough chance to adapt really well to whatever problem it is supposed to be solving. Its not a direct correlation, but its usually true. I've…
Sounds more like the day job than a side project.

All my sources are listed on http://asterank.com/about. Most of the raw data comes from the Minor Planet Center and JPL. The intuition on how to calculate value and cost comes from a number of papers on the subjects of asteroid composition and other asteroid characteristics. The actual value calculations are just formulas that I created and tweaked based on several reference objects.

Hey there -- if the `bundle install` command isn't working when you are in the repo, you probably need the bundler gem installed, which is kind of like a package manager for ruby project deps. Just do `gem install bundler` and you should be able to run commands with it afterwards. Feel free to email me if you need any help!
