I built it over the summer, funded it through Kickstarter and have slowly been building a nice little client base of recurring revenue. The code itself is open source so it's self-hostable and free, but we provide a quick one-line deploy hosted solution as well.
Probably the most fun bit has been trying to just remove the barrier of troublesome local installation for these kinds of things. Usually people go with PHP because you can just run it everywhere, but that still requires setting up apache/mysql somewhere. We use Firebase and Node, so were able to get the entire package installed through a downloadable app. I think we probably have the fasted installation available for this kind of thing.
I work on it mostly full-time, then design client sites with it on the side.

Tech Used: Bash, Node
Statistics: 612 users, 7 paying customers
History: I started working on this in Jan 2013, I wanted a quick way to send files from the command line and get a URL. I later found after building this backend, I, or anyone could expand upon it in many ways
https://github.com/abemassry/wsend
https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-gpg
https://github.com/abemassry/wsend-twitter-card
A little more about how it was built is in this post
http://abemassry.com/blog/2014/02/14/building-wsend/
I have some more ideas as well, if anyone has any ideas or wants to work on this with me I would definitely be down for it.

Done so far:
- I've defined a JSON format for declarative web scrapers (ScraperJSON: https://github.com/ContentMine/scraperJSON)
- made a Node library for web scraping with ScraperJSON scrapers (thresher: https://github.com/ContentMine/thresher)
- as well as a command-line client (quickscrape: https://github.com/ContentMine/quickscrape)
- and a small library of ScraperJSON scrapers for scientific publishers that is about to start expanding rapidly (https://github.com/ContentMine/journal-scrapers).
Next step is to build the web interface that will let people compose data mining pipelines. Imagine something like:
- "give me a feed of all the articles in journals with 'Cancer' in the title that use HeLa cells in their methods"
- "alert me when a new paper comes out that mentions species X alongside a geographical reference"
- "find all the papers that mention my software in the methods but don't cite me"

We began using these as instructional material at a summer workshop on MIR at CCRMA, Stanford [https://ccrma.stanford.edu/workshops/music-information-retri...]. For many years, we used Matlab, but we decided it was finally time to move over to Python. The GitHub repo includes a Vagrantfile that allows you to use Vagrant to provision a Virtualbox VM with all the audio libraries preloaded.
For included technologies, see the Vagrant box website: https://vagrantcloud.com/stevetjoa/boxes/stanford-mir/versio...
Your feedback, including pull requests and issues (and stars!), are most welcome.

Currently, I'm way out of my comfort zone: I'm on the way to build a proof of concept for an optical computer. No simulations, real hardware. My hope is that I can build a few passive logic gates, and go from there. Without a shadow of a doubt, I'll fail. There are a million factors I didn't consider or underestimate, and my knowledge of things like laser physics and optics is marginal at best. But I'm learning a lot from it, which is the main goal. I also just want to see if it can't be done. From what I could gather, there is far too little serious research being done into the whole field. If all else fails, at least I'll know why that is.
And hey, any side project where you get to play with lasers on your kitchen table has got to be a good one, right?

There was a thread on HN about it a while ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8241978), I have fixed a lot of the issues since then, most notably:
- Moving away from needing to recompile every time you change an option is _nearly_ done.
- Howm can now be scripted by sending commands over a UNIX socket.
- I have split howm into multiple source files (I will merge this tonight when I have finished the docs).
- I added some nice gifs to the documentation.by cruppstahl on 11/5/14, 3:15 PM
a embedded key-value database with storage structures and algorithms similar to column store databases. basically you can create your own column store database in your application.
Right now i'm busy making the next release, and writing a research paper about database compression.

It's a simple monitoring service for cron and other scheduled jobs (also works well for heartbeat monitoring).
It was launched on HN a couple months ago. We've been slowly improving our keyword rankings on a few key terms, and are finally to the point where we are consistently signing up new users everyday.
We've also been surprised to see the users who upgrade to paid accounts are split pretty evenly between the $6.99 plan and the $19.99. Our pre-launch guess was that it would be a 90/10 split on those plans.

- A threaded link aggregator. I posted it in these threads a couple of times, but it's been offline for a while for a complete rewrite. The basic gist is, you post a link, and you can open a 'thread' of outbound links from the page as well, with the idea of easily being able to follow a trail of references to an original source and discover a greater, context-specific set of links for a subject. I've rewritten it completely at least three times. If anyone is interested, the scraper I wrote for it is here: https://github.com/kennethrapp/embedbug. I have no idea when it will be worth showing to anyone.
stats: nobody, technology: Laravel 4, history: been working on it for about a year.

There are no statistics to show yet as nobody is using it, but I'm hoping I can change that soon.
The API and the website are two separate Flask apps whilst the websocket server is implemented using node. For now the API and the websocket component communicate using redis' pubsub functionality for the MVP stage, but I have a vague suspicion this will have to be the first thing to change eventually. Will have to test.

* ASP.NET MVC 5, Knockoutjs, Momentjs, jQuery and Bootstrap
* Azure Websites, Azure SQL, Azure DocumentDB, Azure Caching
* OAuth 2 providers (Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft Live)
The idea is to make a site that aggregates multiple sources into one so I can try to keep up with RSS, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Right now its somewhat a glorified RSS reader. I dunno if I will ever monetize it, something I just wanted to make.

(http://tractionengine.co) A small SaaS for publishers/websites that want their direct ad sales automated (window shopping, purchasing, serving). Runs on a subdomain or root of your liking, branding plus). Works with several payment gateways (we no touch your money), allows real time previewing of slots, publishers can customize the look, texts and wording on the site, got an API, plays with DFP etc. Growth so far is strictly word of mouth (hence no attention to the marketing site), caught the attention of some massive publishers hoping on now. Paying customers. 0 hours/week for most weeks. [AngularJS/FatFree/GoLang] About 8/9 months in.

The original Weathertron is still runnin' happily for about 40,000 iOS users from a single $5/month Digital Ocean VPS (backend server is written in Clojure).
The motivation for the full rewrite is React.js and the latest Android OS inclusion of a decent WebKit. React's virtual DOM makes rendering more efficient than Angular.js on slower devices and the recent WebKit supports all of the responsive CSS we used in the original iOS version.
Since I don't carry a smartphone at all, I also recently released a free Weathertron Google Chrome extension so that I could use the app myself: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/weathertron/jljkok...

* A toy programming language of my own. Been working on it on and off (but mosty off) for the past 2 years. Every couple of months or so, I will go on for a couple of days to add a few features (last additions were functions and if conditions). I have learned a ton while doing this project, mostly about programming language implementation. My ultimate goal in this project is compiling the language to brainfuck. Useless I know, but a very good learning experience. Using C# for the initial version, but will transition to a bootstrapped compiler when the language is mature enough.
* I recently started playing with Event Sourcing, and I'm writing a PHP library for it.
* A collaborative, real-time todo app using Laravel and Ratchet for the real-time stuff. PHP.
* Some time ago, I inherited the maintenance of Testify.php, a simple PHP unit testing framework. I had great plans for it, but never came around to execute them. Maybe someday.

In my march towards getting exceptions working (using Intel's Itanium exception ABI), I'm currently hacking on option types and memory management. In particular, trying to figure out how to sensibly insert destructor calls for expiring owned pointers. So far, I clean up just before "return" nodes, but this doesn't do the right thing (a) in the face of reassignments (old object stays alive), and consequently (b) in longer-running loops. I think I can do sufficiently smart liveness analsysis, but I haven't figured out a clean algorithm yet.
Code is still private for now, while I do some more experimentation to see if I can get things to work.

At the core, the idea was to provide a way to get notified when GitHub projects you use (star or watch) publish new releases. Keeping you in the know when features get added or that bug that's about to kill your Monday gets fixed. Seems like something GitHub would do, but the only way you can get notified about releases through GitHub is to 'watch' a repo and then you get notified for every issue, comment, pull request, etc.. Got some pretty good reception on HN and have some major improvements and additions coming in the next week or so.

I have created more than 10 content management systems in the past and every time I create one, I have to write code for a web host. I hope this is the final webhost, it compresses and minifies your html/js/css and also has plans to handle other preprocessors (markdown, less, coffescript etc,.)
I have been chipping away at the code for the last 4 months and it has been very rewarding.

The backend is Haskell using Yesod. The front-end is not very interesting so far - we're sticking with progressive enhancement for a host of reasons, and haven't focused much on enhancing yet.
We don't get a tremendous amount of traffic yet, as we're not launched. There's a lot of writing and discussion on the site, though. Been working on it - mostly part time - for about two years now, with deep involvement of one non-technical co-founder, and on-and-off involvement of varying depth from others.
We're aiming to be launched by the end of the year.

* A tool that generates Markdown API docs from Python files
* A whitebox system scanner that reveals problems with your server configuration. Not your average blackbox security scanner.
* A lightweight service bus without all the enterprise and java around it. It's basically a bunch of connectors that receive or poll for incoming events (rss feeds, email, trello, XMLRPC/SOAP/REST requests), maps it, filters it and then sends it out again. I'll be using this on something like a Raspberry Pie to do some home automation and such. Main goals are that it should be super easy to add new rules, connectors, etc.

I built it because nobody on our team likes to use Redmine issues, because its so bloated. Slack is adored by our team, so it made sense to connect the two dots together.

A 'front page' of manually curated songs (good for coding to). I hope to begin playing with ML to identify tastemakers and improve track rankings (but first I need some users).
It was pure Bacbone but now switched to a React views with Backbone router & models for data syncing. Backend is Express + Mongo.
Listens are tracked with extreme granularity using Socket.io so I can differentiate between songs with an average listen time of 20 seconds vs. 2 minutes.
No real stats. Just recently got it to a decent point. Need to sex up the UI and branding next.

by matt_lo on 11/6/14, 8:50 PM
The site is built on Symfony 2.5, PHP 5.5.x, Postgres, AngularJS 1.2.x, and SCSS. I use Jenkins for CI, Doctrine2 as the ORM, Redis for session I/O, Composer/Bower for dependency resolution, GitHub for documents, tickets, code reviews (pull requests to my self). HAProxy is on standby for the need to load balance and I have a job on Jenkins to scale up and down to a box if needed. I'm currently adding a Docker/Vagrant setup to I can easily manage dev environments (I don't think I'll do the same for production, we'll see). Stripe handles payments, I bought some cheap SSL cert (Stripe handles PCI info outside the server I/O). New Relic is used to monitor both QA, production and my jenkins deploy box. DNS is handled by GoDaddy. I have a Cron handling the news aggregate refresh, diff logic to populate new articles to a mobile curator app I built, and an approve/deny system that determines which articles are allowed to be propagated to the users. Videos are hosted through a third party service and assets internally are handled stored through S3 with CloudFront URL signing assets.
Although it just released, I have received a large amount of important feedback thats going to dramatically change the site. This includes offering more to the user for free, create more interactive components (my writing is too boring / too technical), and improve the marketing (showing the actual tools). I have some POCs in the works for a simulated IDE on edge Chrome/Firefox (uses WebWorkers to observe stackoverflow-able code w/o crashing browser, ScalaJS and Angular port on ScalaJS as MVC frontend; the experience is very much a level up from CodeAcademy's IDE-tutorial).
I'm also in a transitionary period where I want to build the new tools and reconstruct the existing ones in Scala (using Play as the framework). I have more time than before since I saved a significant amount of money to pursue this (I built v1 part time, 30 hours a week for 6 weeks with 30k lines of code added). The force behind this decision is I want more experience with functional programming while leveraging what I know already (JVM / Java).
One of the critical experiences I've had was actually materializing an idea and shipping it. Failing fast and often is an important strategy that's working for me after launching v1.
TL;DR: Built an e-learning site. I learned from failures. Building next version thats going to be rainbows and shit (thats the plan at least).
