I'm working on a geofencing platform that allows content and services to be associated with a specific geographic location.

Really geared for developers so any developer feedback would be greatly appreciated. :-) If you do decide to check it out please use a desktop first. Mobile version is for testing geofences.

We have built BayesHive, a web application for Bayesian statistics that allows users to upload their own data and then build statistical models using a point-and-click user interface. This works with simple models and data or with much more complicated time-series data using stochastic differential equations that allow you to forecast financial timeseries or price options in a probabilistic way. Analysis results end up in literate documents that you can edit and share, and more complicated models based on specific equations can also be shared so other users can run shared model against their data.

We also just released as open source our AngularJS+D3 visualisation library: http://openbrainsrc.github.io/Radian/index.html

I am working on a CMS for Meteor.js called Azimuth: http://azimuthc.ms

Its pretty beta so looking for developer feedback/bug reports/pull requests.

Cool project. Just an FYI, all of the text on your site is very hard to read and sort of garbled from my machine.

This evening I made a fresh release of my new console mail client, which is entirely scriptable through lua:

Recently it has become my full-time mail-client, which is pretty good.

I'm working on an independent web publishing platform with decentralized social networking features:

I'm considering funding further development through a patronage model (like NPR: "brought to you by ..."). I wonder if anyone else here has attempted anything like this?

We're building matchist to a) help freelance developers find worthwhile work while getting paid on time, every time (http://matchist.com/talent) and b) help clients find quality developers to handle anything from simple website builds to complex API integrations.
Few months ago I scanned a list of domains on the web, randomly selected from the top 100k alexa list for common vulnerabilities and oh boy lots of websites are insecure, ranging all the way from xss to sqli.

Anyway, it inspired me to create an online security scanner. Right now I'm focusing on just Wordpress based websites but I'll expand if this gains any traction. Currently it scans for outdated installations, common sql injection, xss, vulnerable plugins and themes along with common shell files. It's been really fun to build so far. Aiming to finish it by the end of next week. Haven't got a domain yet, but I have screenshots of the prototype:

The project I've just finished working on is called Anonymous IRC. The idea is that, especially recently, not everyone feels comfortable being monitored. Once you are done chatting, all your information is erased.

I'm working in a new publishing platform, made with HTML5, CSS3 and SVG, mostly that we use on mobile versions too for making short or long stylized texts. It's called http://notegraphy.com.
I have been working on a service that provides build automation for mobile apps. I welcome any feedback.

Right now working on ironing out some kinks in the build system and making some UI changes. I should be ready to do an official Show HN very soon.

I'm working on http://boardgamehub.co, and my consulting practice at http://ulisesrmzroche.github.io. I'd be happy to get feedback, since everything is so new I haven't gotten much further than empathy stage.

Board Game Hub is the newest way to play boardgames. Instead of having to teach your friends or meet strangers in internet forums, the web app matches people up by the board game they want to play and, once all the logistics are in place, sets up a gaming night at a board game store for them. There is also a premium version where users can become Guild Founders and, with their fame and renown now tracked, put their reputations against other Guilds in a highly competitive social gaming network.

As a consultant, I build high quality startups on a low budget. Providing web development, marketing, and explainer video services. I'm also still working on honing the target market, because it seems like so many people want wordpress stuff.
