Ask HN: What project are you currently working on? – April
There used to be this type of questions on a monthly basis and it was always fascinating to see what people were working on. :) So I thought I might post it up again since I haven't seen one in awhile.
What side project are you working on right now?

The user also has a private url which he can use to login using other devices. Once logged in from this unidentified device, another cookie is created for the user but with a short time span. The user has the option to set the device as trusted which will result in the cookie expiry to be set at 15 years.
You probably ask for user's email and send them their secret special link that could be used over and over to restore the cookie? in case if they accidently delete their cookie?
- building Space Invaders in C++ using an entity component system that i'm also writing.
- random Unity, Corona SDK and SDL tutorials.
- a HNlike clone in PHP, off and on when I get bored with everything else.
No repos, sorry. Nothing is worth sharing yet.
Working a full time job that requires being out of the house for 14 hours a day a lot and parenting at home so I expect this to be a long project. :)
- A secure code delivery project called ASGard: https://getasgard.com
- A tool to diff PHP Archives https://github.com/paragonie/pharaoh
- Confirming and responsibly disclosing a Laravel 0day
- Putting together a talk about developing crypto features in your apps (by using safe crypto libraries rather than rolling your own)
Since you use blockchain ... What are incentives for people to actually run this blockchain on their computers? Are software packages themselves physically stored in a blockchain? Or just signed metadata about package, including external download url?
Sorry lots of questions... This is because I am getting over excited when I see projects related to crypto design / blockchain / Bitcoin
I wrote most of the Python Essentials notebooks last year, and then had to focus on other work for a while. Now I'm updating the infrastructure so it plays nicely with IPython 3. Then I get to focus on projects, which will make the site much more useful to people learning Python.
Happy to hear feedback and build collaboration on the project.
It's not 1.0.0, yet though. Maybe in a few months to a year or so. It's a spare time thing.
It's hosted on my site, which was featured on Bootstrap Expo yesterday, and currently sits next to New Relic.
This is a great Ask HN, and the first time I've seen this asked. I'd love to see this pop up more.

It started as a change I made to how my consultancy worked, when I told others about the benefits like sleeping better and being more happy, others started to work using the same method.
Now I am creating a SaaS app and book to help others get the same benefits.

Tech: mobile version built using the C++ engine, cocos2d-x. Web version created by porting to JavaScript, based on cocos2d-JS. I did contribute to the new Programmer's Guide (http://www.cocos2d-x.org/programmersguide/) and have written some guides on IAP and leaderboard integration (http://www.adhyet.com/post)
Currently working on finishing up the Windows Phone version.

It resizes batches of images in your browser. It doesn't do anything Adobe CS can't do, but most folk (outside of designers) don't have Adobe CS. It's also extremely convenient since all you need is a browser; nothing to install or sign up for. It can also be embedded onto external sites (eg. forms that require images be uploaded) with preset resizing settings.

Not ready for public exposure yet. Always looking for feedback and tips on this approach to solving problems!

So how does filtering work? I guess user would need to provide custom set of keywords? Can they specify Regex? Are keywords used against article title or against the whole body?
If you are matching against article body, do you have any logic that would determine location of "article meat" or "article body boundaries", i.e. would strip out header / footer / ads / comments / navigation links etc?
Thanks!
For the first release we analyze the popularity of an article by likes, shares, count of reads, etc. For the second step we analyze also the body.
We are using only RSS, so we have no header/footer/comments/navigation. Ads we remove by converting html to text.
