I'm glad to see one of these posts again. It feels like it's been a long time.
I'm working on a new data model and language alternative to SQL. It works more like an object model, so you would say (Employee : Salary>80000).Department.Name for the name of departments of people making more than 80k.
I've been working on a project to learn Go. It's called Spotifind. It basically connects two musical artists by a chain of related artists using Spotify's API. Like the Kevin Bacon game, but for musicians. Here's a link to the project, still learning a lot!
- an API switch for a B2C travel agency webapp, switching from legacy API to Expedia API
- building a recommendation system based on Neo4J for an italian startup
- adding some new functionalities to a Struts2 B2C webapp (an invoice and report portal)
- developing in spare time a side project: http://www.prezziprodotti.it (mass retailer price comparator for italian market): it is still a beta release
I'm writing an abstraction layer in Ruby for scrapping text from documents without the overhead of requiring LibreOffice or Ghostscript. https://github.com/pzaich/doc_ripper
I've been working on it for almost a year now. It's crazy how fast the app and Dota space has grown since Valve released their WebAPI. Been considering open source the app for a little. Starting to work with other Dota enthusiasts on building cool new features.
I know Django super well and love the community and framework. While the framework does add some overhead it also makes for quicker development (in my case anyway).
Side project exploring image editing / manipulation using JS implementation of Computer Vision algorithms. Hoping to incorporate some server side deep learning algorithms.
The goal is to make email secure by default (with a specialized PKI to make it easy)... And turns out that when you make email secure you can publish it on the Internet, and have a few different distribution patterns for it. (Like just publishing, collaborative edition of documents, synchronization of data, etc.)
I didn't finish designing it, thus I'm lacking on details yet.
I've been working on a Sublime Text database client. Database clients are usually not that great to use, specifically because the text editor can have difficulties, and they're not that customizable. We decided that rather than adding a text editor to a database client, it would be a lot easier to add a database client to a text editor.
We're not sure if we'd like to open source it, or sell it as an add-on, but we are looking for beta testers if anyone is interested (we currently support postgres and mysql). Send me an email at beta@alexggordon.com if you're interested.
I'm working on Beetle, a command-line ETL tool written in Java (if it goes well, I'll add a Swing interface). It's rudimentary at this point, but soon you'll be able to execute a SQL query and save the data to XML, JSON, YAML or a SQL script of Insert statements. You'll also be able to generate fake data in any of those formats, and also translate data between those formats, or push the data directly into a database. Any database with a JDBC driver is supported. As it gets more robust, I'll add features that seem useful.
I've been working on a node server that lives on my Raspberry Pi. The server reads the temperature of my fishtank on a timer and adds it to a database. The server also hosts a webpage I can access when I'm on my wifi network that uses Google Charts to graph the data and displays some information about the kinds of fish in my tank.
Not nearly as complicated as a lot of the stuff here, but it's my first real solo programming project and I can't stop thinking about little ways to improve it!
Just finished http://dodgerdash.com. It's a real-time dashboard for the Los Angeles Dodgers that displays stats, a countdown till next game and a live view when a game is in progress. And it's open source https://github.com/Lukeas14/DodgerDash
Now I'm back to working on my main project, http://shadetree.com. It's a community for anybody who works on cars to look up technical data, repair guides, TSBs etc. about whatever vehicle they're working on.

No links for another month or so (sorry).

How come you chose django over something such as flask for problemotd?

Extendable version manager with plugins for Ruby, Elixir & Erlang. Node.js plugin coming soon.

Its on the iTunes store, but its still in beta: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h34t/id949092708?ls=1&mt=8
Edit: The real story clearly is (c) 2010-Flippity-Floppity-Floop. :)
The backend is written in NodeJS with the SailsJS framework (which I used for Socket.IO support).
It runs in a Docker container on an AWS Autoscaling group with an RDS database.
Its been a blast to build
I'll post a link when I get home since I forgot to push it to Github.

Mixed results so far, but am keeping at it at nights.
All the code's here: https://github.com/charlieegan3/serializer Still working a bit on that.

Started in February and I've been able to write to test projects in it so far. But lots of work to go.
