Highschooler here building a reddit bot that can be summoned to create posters, tshirts, mugs, mousepads, etc from images and comments posted on reddit.

It's around 70% done. The hard parts: creating the posters from comments (imagemagick) and creating a product page (zazzle api) are both done.

Now i'm just working on getting a rabbitmq cluster up and running so that it can process multiple comments at once. Also working on the design of the the items because right now it's pretty bland with just b/w text.

Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/8SOMHBl.jpg

I'm working on a web-app which starts like a feature-rich to-do list app, but shifts the focus towards planning out larger life goals, and tracking progress: http://imgur.com/a/tSPHP In particular this week, I've been working on solidifying the quantification side of the app (see the first two screenshots) - i.e. making day-to-day productivity (and lack of productivity!) towards big goals something that's measurable…

Does this support recurring tasks?

Yup, repeating every X days, or following a weekly schedule. Run-down of all the different types here: https://nachapp.com/help/guides/repeating - and you can access those options with the Edit button in the top corner of a step's page.

This sounds great. Hope to get a beta invite soon.

That's a great idea though I worry that it would totally tickle my OCD productivity crazy side...

Thanks! Hmm, well, if you leverage that attribute in the right way, it could be a big asset. The thing which I'm trying to do differently from other habit-building apps is get users to put a real focus on making tangible progress towards goals. So instead of just ticking "go to the gym" of a to-do list every day for the sake of feeling productive, actually setting a target and monitoring progress towards it. If all your goals are set up in this way, then having an internal drive to come back and keep up the routine day-to-day, will mean you're consistently improving yourself, which surely can't be a bad thing!

I'm working on a parallel EEPROM programmer using Arduino. I'm not using the Arduino IDE since it's a pain and instead using vim and cmake.

I'm experimenting with SPI to transfer the addresses to the shift registers faster and as you can see by the serial output, it's not quite reliable yet. Debugging timing issues is tricky.

I'm also making a PCB. I plan on making it using toner transfer method once some blank PCBs arrive.

Working on a agile task tracker with some friends (similar to trello, but more dev oriented): http://imgur.com/a/4PF4z . (written with spring mvc for the server side, angularjs for the client side, use websocket/socks.js). Will be available as a open source project.

nice, please provide github link we could bookmark...

That is awesome.

Working on getting a '94 miata I recently bought track ready. So far I've installed a rollbar, bled and replaced the brake fluid and fixed a leaky valve cover. I have a brake rotor dial indicator coming in soon so I can diagnose whether the rotors need replacing or not (which will probably be next Saturday's project).

This looks great. I tried Fitocracy and was disappointed. It seemed to be focused on a flashy interface rather than useful features.

I signed up for your mailing list. I especially like the ability to see moving averages. Up until now, I have been using spreadsheets for this kind of thing. That works fine for charting, but not much else.

I'm writing an iPad app for Mediabrowser 3 (mediabrowser3.com) with another developer. Mediabrowser is in the same space as Plex and XBMC. If everything goes well we plan on launching later this month.

We have invested a lot of time and effort into making the app fast. Our mantra from the very beginning was that speed was going to be a keystone feature for our app. The fluidity of scrolling in our views was one of the main things we focused on. We wrote test code that continuously scrolls our views up and down while we profile it. We are utilizing Path's FastImageCache along with a lot of other caching to get the performance levels that we wanted.

We are considering writing a new backend for our client app so we can launch a similar app for XBMC as well.
