What: A chording keyboard. Why: Englebart's demo made people overlook the chording keyboard, and now we are still mostly stuck with QWERTY, a layout that takes too long to learn and doesn't take much advantage what humans are good at. I'm joking about Englebart, but I do like the line of thinking that computers can be powerful instead of faux friendly.
What: A personal finances app Why: Because Mint and Credit Karma have horrible interfaces that don't allow me to manage my money and view spending trends in a way that I feel is satisfactory. Prototype for now and using plaid.com API for access to financial institutions.
I'd be really interested to see this.
It is interesting because it's the only algebra system in which the user actually performs the algebra. With practice, edits are as fast as maths on paper, but without all of the redundant re-writing. Similar to the sense of flow you get when programming with Vim, this leads to a sense of immersion in the maths.

What: Emphatic ( http://emphatic.co ) -- social media as-a-service Why it's cool: gives marketing resources to small businesses who lack the time or expertise
I understand typos, but when it is for someone who wants to run a service which would have very high visibility for a companies image, they really aren't acceptable.
there are best practices that are superior to a traditional education. they are free and totally accessible with an internet connection.
its cool if you believe in everyone being able to self-educate using the internet.
will start applying it in a group context, namely business organizations shortly.
looking for companies of 11+ people to participate.
We are working on some useful features around alerting users when a camera detects movement, and you aren't in the immediate vicinity (I.e. an intruder etc), which will make it a good alternative to conventional alarms. Live view of camera feeds is also coming.
If you have a spare iPhone or Android device, you will also use those as cameras, rather than purchase IP cameras (not yet in production).
Best of all, the app is free. Any feedback?
I'm doing it because I'm a big fan of tools like Olark or Zopim which are essentially the same but for live written communication (chat). Because some people prefer talking rather than typing, I'm selling a live voice communication alternative so websites can tailor to this preference as well.
