Ask HN: what projects are you working on?

personally i work on making a little java ide using javafx

I'm currently trying to teach myself web development by building a simple wedding organizing app. Still in its early stages though, nothing to show for it yet.

I'm working on a modal, console-based, email-client. It's developed in C++ and has fully integrated scripting provided via lua.

http://lumail.org/

https://github.com/skx/lumail/

It is pretty different from the existing mail clients for the console (pine, alpine, mutt, sup, notmuch), partly for being modal, and partly because it only handles Maildirs. No IMAP or POP3 support at all.

In terms of functionality it is usable for sending, processing, and receiving emails. But there is still missing support for attachments.

I am currently working on creating a p0rn site ( there are some money there, but it is hard to implement ) as well as a photographer site

My pet project at the moment is programmatic battleships. Write your own client - play against other users running automatic games and see how we'll your client fairs up in the leaderboard

I'm working on a few things:

A 32 channel data logger, driver communication and information aid for motorsport and automotive testing

A kids education app with a Scottish 'teacher' character - this will hopefully be uploaded for App Store approval this weekend

and I have a few client projects on the go

Nice idea for a thread!

I'm working on a new project management tool called Matterhorn.io its for companies who are design led and follow agile for development.

There are a million and one project management apps but none of them are a fit for us, we like basecamp but need a scrumboard, we like jira but find its too complicated. We are building a happy medium

Working on Zoomforth, helping companies collect, manage and display video from their employees and partners.

I am currently working on a simple way to share spotify tracks so that anyone can listen to them (and not only spotify users). The core is finished for a while, but I struggle with the design! Man it's hard to make something look nice

I'm working on a very simple and inane tool that block diagrams my code with cables so I can write programs visually. It doesn't compile or run any of it, it's just a visual tool. It's a mashup of two JQuery libraries: JsPlumb and Jquery TE. I also have an idea for a very large meteor.js/Web Audio API project that I am gradually piecing my way towards with small one-off do-dads like this: http://helpknow.com/portfolio/drumapp/

I've been working on http://www.postalcandy.co.uk - it was an MVP test for two weeks. It has been an idea I kept coming back to for a while now. I really want to sell a fun product.

While it's just basic technically, I've learned a lot about A/B testing & driving traffic.

Have taken the first few orders which is proof of concept! Currently working on the next version, integrating more product images & branding too.

Also I work on http://foundcamera.com - it gets quite a bit of natural traffic & submissions are backing up. Could do with some php help if anyone needs a weekend gig!

https://github.com/huseyinyilmaz/talkybee . I haven't work on it lately due to a class I am taking on coursera. But I will finish is as soon as I am done with the class I am taking.

I made a tool (http://complex-area-calculator.appspot.com) for calculating areas of polygons. Initially, it was really just cobbled together and there are a lot of problems with the code. I'm currently in the process of a re-write, but by blog (http://foodconstrued.com) also takes up a lot of my time.

I'm working on a revision control system for spreadsheets (http://www.spreadgit.com) so people can sort out their Excel mess, ie. track changes, diff and eventually merge versions like you'd do with code.

I've built a tool to create arbitrary rigid 3D surfaces and support structures from laser-cut-and-perforated folded tyvek panels. It's probably never going to be commercialized, but it is fun to tinker with.

The use case is 3d shapes where the volume makes 3d printing cost-prohibitive, for example this 4 foot long tyvek dolphin: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/102064314320177820526/alb...

If you're in boston, stop by the collision19 show for a look: http://collisioncollective.org/show/collision19

p2p file transfer tool w/ some cool features like auto-accept rules, tag-based (semantic fs) syncing

Tech: C++11, Qt, node.js

I am working on my own help authoring tool "with blackjack and hookers" :) It has a cool name: Helpinator.

I've been working on a console Pomodoro timer: http://thymerb.com

There were already a few around, this was for fun and I wanted one with easy pre/post hooks.

I'm reimplementing Go-style channels in Python, including multiplexing:

I am working on a survey programming and cross tabulation engine. It's open source hosted here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtcc

There are 2 versions of the Survey compiler, one in production use and a newer version in advanced prototype targeted at tablets etc. The production use compiler is targeted at India and the Middle East and anywhere else where you do Market Research using Pen and Paper format. It can generate outputs for IBM SPSS-Quantum (a specialised software for data processing) and SPSS and and my own cross tabulation engine, described below. Our current offering to clients is a potential 70% speedup in data processing using our system for Pen and Paper data entry.

The cross tabulation engine is on similar lines to IBM SPSS-Quantum but removes many limitations and is potentially much faster. I tested it on 1 million records - each record had about 64000 conditions, it was able to process the data in 20 seconds (I tried this after seeing Evan Miller's post on HN and someone asked about how fast his software was on 10 million records). I compile the input programs to simple C++ fixed size arrays and data is stored on disk as a flat file, fixed length per record. I have been experimenting with sse instructions - there is a lot of potential for further speed improvement.

This is a git repository, active branches are: nc - this is a stable version of the compiler, but uses ncurses and

web-questionnaire-2: this is the new survey compiler

   Active GUIs/Framewors we can compile to are :
   1. gtk
   2. wxWidgets
   3. webtoolkit

   I have also separated out the runtime environment so that we can compile with emscripten
   Using this, we can compile with 

    1. Dojo, ExtJs
    2. DojoMobile - I could not get Sench Touch to work.

web-randomizer: this is a branch for a randomization grammar

rdg: this is a branch for a Random Data generator. This was used to generate the 1 million records for my testing. I was able to get it to go at a speed of about 170 records a second.

If anyone is interested in playing with it, please write to me - my email should be all over the source code. We are also looking to make a business out of this (I have 2 friends and family investors).

Just launched subtleshade.com to help my learn about all this cool new HTML/CSS stuff I keep hearing about! Design and cross-browser support is sketchy at the moment, but it's a v1.0.

EDIT: Should probably provide some more information. It's a easy way to add colors to the patterns provided on subtlepatterns.com without having to dive into Photoshop.

Just launched http://www.babelmatch.com. It's a crowd-sourced alternative to language-learning programs like Rosetta Stone.

I'm currently writing Ruby For System Administrators at http://ruby.elevatedintel.com A book that helps SysAdmins become more productive and repeat themselves less using Ruby.

http://phdtree.org is a Wiki site that allows users to create & edit their academic family tree.

I am working on a P2P network based around Kademlia. I have not got very far mostly due to lack of time and knowledge, but I keep going with it when I can.
