Ask HN: Let's see your weekend projects
I see a ton of weekend projects posted regularly to HN and some of the stuff produced is just outright cool.
More importantly though, it's a great example of creative thinkers hard at work trying to make even the slightest impact on the world around them.
I'd love to write a post on EntrepreneursUnpluggd.com highlighting some of these projects.
If you're interested in being included, post your weekend project link here and a quick 1 sentence pitch about it.
Thanks!

Neat idea!
I got really sick of all the different crappy ways to get data into SalesForce. I really can just drag and drop from a toolbox. Point to files, do joins, mapping, and eve custom code. When I'm done I enter my password for SalesForce and push the run button.
It is a bit buggy though, I just slapped together some code I had and some code I found around the net. But, the screen shots are real, and even my buggy solution works way better than anything out there.

Coloring Out - http://www.coloringout.com - css colour transmorgrifier. I have no idea how to properly describe this - basically it lets you add a hex value to every hex colour in your css....so you can keep a relative colour scheme, but shift it up or down.
