I just launched my first web app/side project/potential startup today called PillHQ(http://www.pillhq.com). It helps people remember to take their medications.
I made a small and simple web app to complement wikitravel.org - http://www.picitravel.com. Motivation for this site was that I wanted to use it as a complementary tool for wikitravel.org site. Wikitravel has tons of useful data but not too many good pictures. My site would get the best pictures from Flickr and display it in a meaningful fashion. This would allow you to view all the pics from a destination in one page rather than googling for individual place. I am still working on making the site faster and adding more features.
http://comparerc.com - Search Engine for the Remote Controlled hobby (quadrocopters, helicopters, planes, fpv, etc).
It's been a lot of fun because I get to play with ElasticSearch and responsive JS UIs. Still a long way to go before it is really useful - particularly categorical browsing and parametric serach.
http://wshoppr.com/about - Window Shopper:
It's a chrome extension that lets you save products you like by simply dragging and dropping the product image to a bar that pops up when you start dragging. It's a shopping bag for the entire internet. So far the people that have used it love the way the dragging works unlike the traditional bookmarklet approach. I built it with a good friend and great UX designer @jesseddy.
Java couldn't keep up as we grew. It was rewritten and finally finished in 2007, the main core is still pure 'C' with the rest in Lua. Using Lua was probably the best single decision we ever made in terms of flexibility and what we've been able to do with mob AI. Still going strong, drop by some time, or join the FB Page...
Actually, that's true but you need to change this to "Don't fail to remember to backup your databases" or something similar, right now you're telling me to make sure to forget it. :)
http://brightswipe.com - Brightswipe: It's a fast, open-source, and better looking version of the Pirate Bay, with more features coming soon (SSL, connect to swarm and get new torrents, node-to-node communication, etc). The design right now is godawful (since I designed it) but we have a new design coming out in a few days. It'll be gorgeous.
http://NeedNumbers.me - a weekend project I did before school starts. It solves one simple problem of having to manually type in names and numbers after you asked for contacts on Facebook.
what a great idea! I've been working on a place where potential landlords and renters could connect, as using craigslist is just a hellish experience: http://github.com/griffindy/Rently. is this just for landlords?
