#92I'm working on a WP8 app for Kraken (the bitcoin exchange): http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=a3857353-599a-434f-8293-... . It's fully functional. It shows live rates, your open & closed orders, your balance and it has the ability to create and close orders. I think it's cool because Windows Phone is the first platform that has a Kraken app, and this app is arguably the best bitcoin app on the WP platform.
I wonder how many people interested in Bitcoin use WP..
How many downloads have you got so far?

Its cool because communication is fun.
(I will continue to plug my console email client to http://lumail.org/ because email is cool, and scripting email with lua is even cooler still!)

You want to measure the amount of bitcoin users on WP by checking how many downloads I've got? Kraken is a very small exchange, they only have around 60k registered users.
Downloads are in the lower 1000+ so far. Engagement though is extremely good, people start the app every day, and very often. Most of them keep returning over and over again.

#95I'm building http://citystrides.com ... It lets you track your running, city by city - the main purpose is to track the streets that you run in your city, but beyond that it also does shoe tracking, weather info, step counting (if you have a FitBit), and route sharing.
It started out with me wondering if I could run every street in my city (and not having a way to track that), but I'm growing it out to accommodate runners all over the world.
A huge byproduct of CityStrides is the collection of poly files for cities that I'm gathering at https://github.com/JamesChevalier/cities which can be used to generate OSM files out of larger regions. This data hasn't been available before now, so it might help create more city-focused projects.

#96https://github.com/johnwilson/bytengine a CMS repository with an interesting twist, built with Go, Mongodb and Redis.
It's cool because it allows you to organize your content in files/folders and retrieve it using a rich query language.

#97A web app to give maths exercise to high school students and correct them. I am making the app understand symbolic calculus, so it would pinpoint exactly what the student got wrong.

I only have a super unpolished version now, without a domain name. If you want I can send you the link to my server by email - my email is in my profile.

#100I set myself a challenge: build one new HTML5 game per week in order to learn how to make games. So far I've made 6 games, and 1) I already learned a lot, and 2) the feedback I'm getting from players is super positive.
