I&#x27;ve been having fun the last few months by creating and launching! The latest of which seems to have struck a chord: MailScope<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mailscope.io" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mailscope.io</a> adds profile data to your existing mailing list. Why? Well, if you don&#x27;t ask for firstname and lastname on signup, you&#x27;ll get increased conversion. But if you then want to get increased open and click rates when you actually send email, you should start personalizing (one way is to use firstnames in the body) and segmenting. That&#x27;s where MailScope comes in. Each new subscriber you get, MailScope will automatically add firstname, lastname (and other profile data).<p>It&#x27;s just the start and I&#x27;ve been having great fun expanding the possibilities - alerting you when an &#x27;influencer&#x27; signs up so that you can reach out directly; auto-following subscribers on twitter when they signup. I&#x27;ve already got a dozen or so paying customers who use MailScope to enrich their mailing lists and increase their revenues. It&#x27;s awesome to have learnt so much here on HN and finally be able to start offering something of real value back to business owners.

What did I start? An autonomous lawn mower. My goal is to get it done for under $1,000 USD using mostly snap-together hardware. My timeline is to have it mowing via RC by the end of January (shipping to New Zealand takes a while, especially when you&#x27;re on a budget), while I&#x27;d like it to be capable of safely mowing autonomously by July or so - though I&#x27;m optimistic that it&#x27;ll reach good-enough stage by March. I&#x27;ll publish the build log on my website [1] as I hit major milestones.<p>What did I finish? I&#x27;ve been rebuilding my larger quadcopter and I finally got it up in the air and it flies well enough for my needs, though admittedly I did trim my friend&#x27;s tree with it a bit. I&#x27;m chalking that up to pilot error, however. I hadn&#x27;t flown anything in a few months and it turns out that line-of-sight orientation on quadrotors <i>isn&#x27;t</i> just like riding a bicycle. It could still use a bit of tuning -- projects like those are never really finished.<p>I also have a few fairly interesting&#x2F;exciting projects which I desperately need to write up. One such example is a wide field-of-view stereo head-mounted display for FPV flying which can be built in an evening for under $200 USD. Another is my as-of-yet fruitless efforts to build a very low latency HD digital video transmission system - also for FPV flying. If these are projects which you&#x27;d find useful, or which you&#x27;d simply like to read more about - leave me a comment or flick me an e-mail [2]. Encouragement always helps when it comes to getting things written up.<p>1: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.benjamincburns.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.benjamincburns.com&#x2F;</a><p>2: My username at gmail.

It&#x27;s been a really fun break!<p>I&#x27;m getting interested in super low frequency signals so I looked up the E202 Very Low Frequency (&lt;10kHz) receiver[1] and laid out&#x2F;built a variation of it.[2] Right now the whole thing is a broadband receiver with no antenna (obviously) and the whole circuit board assembly is functionally acting like a microphone. I can hear when I touch any component or move my hand around in the air. I&#x27;m going to add a 60Hz notch file and then take it out to the middle of nowhere.<p>I think it would be awesome to go find a pipeline to use as an antenna...<p>Next project is to take my BlueROV[3] and build a hydrophone array[4] for it so a friend and I can see if a underwater acoustics engineer friend and I can use it to track other objects (like a remote-controlled toy boat) in the water. I&#x27;ve been doing some Kivy visualization of an accelerometer and gyro (MPU9255) and I think we could use matplotlib&#x27;s interactive mode or something in Kivy (maybe) to visualize it all in realtime.<p>There&#x27;s nothing cutting edge here but I&#x27;ve done a bunch of radio frequency (RF) stuff like GPS and WiFi and I&#x27;m really enjoying how tangible audio seems in comparison. Just having fun with low frequencies, basically.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vlf.it&#x2F;romero2&#x2F;explorer-e202.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vlf.it&#x2F;romero2&#x2F;explorer-e202.html</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wicker&#x2F;e202var-natural-radio-receiver" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wicker&#x2F;e202var-natural-radio-receiver</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bluerobotics.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;rov&#x2F;bluerov-r1&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bluerobotics.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;rov&#x2F;bluerov-r1&#x2F;</a><p>[4] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dosits.org&#x2F;files&#x2F;dosits&#x2F;hydrophone_instruc_w_image.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dosits.org&#x2F;files&#x2F;dosits&#x2F;hydrophone_instruc_w_imag...</a>

On Dec 30th, I built <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bucket52.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bucket52.com</a>, a simple app which asks the question &quot;what did you do in the last week that was memorable&#x2F;remarkable?&quot;<p>The idea being that even if we do great things and are very active in different areas of our life, we actually end up doing the same thing again and again. If we track the things we do, and look for something that was different and special, will that entice us to do more diverse and interesting things, and get outside of our comfort zone?<p>It&#x27;s very MVP, just seeing where it goes at the moment, but so far, it seems people like the idea.<p>I also built it in Meteor, which I only tried for the first time on Dec. 30th, and I have to say, for prototyping something basic like this, it&#x27;s been really great. Some of the poor quality of the site (like slow load time) is probably due to my inexperience with Meteor.

A prototype peer-to-peer caching proxy that uses socket.io to turn web pages into etherpad-like canvases[0]<p>It currently requires something akin to EigenTrust++ implementing in the DHT namespace, except EigenTrust++ requires information about the amount of successful downloads peer nodes have made, so it&#x27;s going to require minor adjustments for decentralised HTTP.<p>On the frontend it requires a way to insert arbitrary elements into the DOM using something akin to Mediums&#x27; impressive little editor.<p>Also missing RPC_EDIT, so there&#x27;s no inter-instance web page editing &#x2F;just&#x2F; yet.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Psybernetics&#x2F;Synchrony" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Psybernetics&#x2F;Synchrony</a>

I was part of the platform team at Hailo which built a global microservices platform and before then spent some time at Google. I think with the shift to cloud and docker, being able to build distributed systems is becoming ever more important but the tooling hasn&#x27;t caught up yet. The goal of micro is to simplify building and managing distributed systems.

We&#x27;re working on an automated financial management system for our business. I co-founded an ISP and so far we&#x27;ve found quickbooks to be terrible, banking to not be fun, and small tedious processes multiplied are starting to take out chunks of our time. Thus we&#x27;re working to combine plaid.com + subledger + Dwolla + lob + stripe to create an automated billing and accounting system for credit, ach, and paper billing.

A mashup of Mint.com&#x27;s data and Simple.com&#x27;s &quot;Goals&quot; interface[1], in a locally run web-app. I&#x27;ve used Simple&#x27;s Goals interface as my primary budgeting tool for the past two years with a great deal of success, and want it for ALL my banking. Thus far, this has been the best way forward. It automatically imports my banking data from Mint, then allows me to apply &quot;goals&quot; to the transactions, along with some advanced filtering and matching to automate goal-matching, and &quot;pulling&quot; some of my available funds into goals on a daily basis. I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;ll be tinkering with this throughout the year.<p>The interface is based on react.js, and it&#x27;s allowed me to play around with jspm (not ideal - not awful), Baobab (fits me better than flux), react-dnd (confusing, but smart), Javascript es6&#x2F;es7 (dig it), and localForage (which I already know and love).<p>Also started working on an Android app that talks to my Anova 1.0 (bluetooth-only) because I wasn&#x27;t happy with the official Anova app. Was great to learn about controlling a device over bluetooth from Android, which was simultaneously a pain in the ass and easier than I expected.<p>1: Cheesy Example, but shows the basic premise of the goals interface: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;58997158" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;58997158</a>

I&#x27;m working on a SaaS project to eliminate all the burden with VPN tunnels.<p>I&#x27;m planning to mainly target developers that have resources spread among different providers and need a secure way to either connect to them or connect resources to each other.<p>It will be easy to setup and seamless to use. You&#x27;ll just have your VMs connected between them on the same local network, so all your application will seamlessly work with it. This will potentially unlock other ways of architecting your apps.<p>E.g. you might have some VMs in Amazon and some other in Azure, Linode, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, bare metal in any other hosting provider (OVH?) or locally in your DC. Each of those providers might offer something different and it&#x27;ll be great if you could just use them all together without opening your services to the whole world or without having to tinker with IPsec VPN tunnels or firewall rules. You just need to create your new network in our system and deploy the client with the provided config file on each of them. I&#x27;m making it as simple as providing you with a DHCP server already, so you&#x27;re ready to go after launching the client. Every machine you join will be part of this virtual network in a completely transparent way.

I am in the beginning stages of creating a web application to interact with Bitmessage (a theoretically totally anonymous messaging platform). I am modeling it after Mega.co.nz, which provides varying levels of ways to be confident that the JavaScript it is serving you is not compromised, and relies on you having a private key it never intercepts.<p>I think the biggest barrier to privacy online right now is how inaccessible applications like Bitmessage are to the average user. Having to install a local python code base and store gigabytes of data that takes potentially hours to download sucks.<p>A browser application like this is not a fool-proof method of privacy, but it&#x27;s pretty darn good, and is leaps and bounds better than Facebook which stores your data in plain text and proceeds to sell it or whatever. It&#x27;s also better than something like a zero-knowledge service such as SpiderOak&#x27;s Kloak where your data is still owned (but encrypted) by some random person who can revoke your access at any time and track your usage, who you&#x27;re communicating with, and possibly serve you malicious JavaScript.<p>In summary, an application that: * Provides completely anonymous, encrypted, untraceable, uncensorable messaging between people and groups (using Bitmessage as the data store) * Is accessible like any other web application and provides pretty good security in doing so * Can be used as a browser extension if you want virtually guaranteed security&#x2F;privacy * Relies on a data store that no one owns, everyone can access, and everyone can forever contribute to<p>There are questions about the security of Bitmessage, but I know it will be improved over time.<p>It is a struggle to decide how much time to dedicate to this application, though. I&#x27;m a somewhat underpaid developer with aspirations of actually making money to support myself with side projects, but at the same time wanting to contribute with open source applications like this to make the web a better, more private, place.

Realday. &quot;A tool that helps you plan your real day&quot;[1]<p>I got frustrated with GTD a long time ago. I was super frustrated that my todo apps would eventually be full of useless information. I loved the ideas of some bloggers to basically just pick a few tasks for the day and do them. I thought: &quot;Why not mix the calendar events and tasks in such a way that you have software that actually encourages you to focus only on the tasks you have time for?&quot; Hence, you have your &quot;real day&quot; as opposed to the day you thought you&#x27;d finish 20 huge tasks and end up with none attempted.<p>realday.co (Had MVP up like a few years ago but scraped in favor of current Golang&#x2F;ReactJS version I&#x27;m building now)<p>1: Work in progress

In know its a crowded space but I really wanted to &quot;build my own lightsaber&quot; and design a productivity tool to my custom needs<p>It&#x27;s based on the google calendar api. It serves the purposes of a calendar, todo list, evernote and emacs org-mode as well as being a really pretty time visualizer. The idea is to be able to visualize your time, from the scale of minutes to decades. It also tracks your &quot;focus&quot;, that is- which activity held your attention and for how long.

Every week we&#x27;ll do a family dinner with my in-laws. We love to eat and stingy so I&#x27;m building a web scraper using Scrapy to scroll through Groupon &amp; Qoo10 and save all the deals to a Postgres database. Then, I&#x27;ll schedule a cronjob query this database daily for food deals.

I&#x27;m also building a data driven (mostly NLP) portfolio optimizer, based on expected utility theory! It&#x27;s a naive model, but it also has statistical bounds on its efficiency relative to the regret, which is an interesting bonus.<p>Out of curiosity, what kind of model (loss function) are you using?

Bootstrapping Business #2. Well, actually bringing in revenue, since I started this a few months ago. Within about $200 of break-even at this point.<p>In summary, buy reliable used cars that are rough around the edges and with low asking prices. Spend leisure time doing necessary repairs to ensure reliability, safety. Spend time doing detailing work, which in the future may include repainting panels, and basic underbody rustproofing. Use as a car for 2 to 3 weeks as a burn-in to ensure I have something that meets my quality standards. Sell for 125-140% of cost. Limit yearly sales to keep under the transaction limits for a non-dealer.<p>-----<p>Pros:<p>* Excluding first car, cost me ~$2500 for good tools and safety&#x2F;disposal equipment.<p>* Usefully leverages my vast knowledge of the automotive landscape.<p>* Improves my sales and negotiation skills, which will benefit Business #1<p>* Improves car repair skills and detailing skills, which is useful since I&#x27;m a hardcore car-nut.<p>* Turns a hobby into something that makes money. I&#x27;m having a blast and making money doing it.<p>-----<p>Risks:<p>* Unable to move a car, reducing profit, which means time not well spent.<p>* Poor assessment of a car I purchase for resale. Risk eating all profits or taking a loss.<p>* Losing interest. Though I&#x27;d have all the tools I&#x27;d ever need for my existing toy.<p>* My spare time I could spend on other things.<p>* Fraud, which I&#x27;m taking precautions against. This includes things like payment issues, or buyers not completing title transfer and doing terrible things.<p>-----<p>Where it goes next:<p>* Nothing exciting for a while. Sticking to things like Corollas, Civics, Camrys, Accords, CR-Vs, RAV-4s, F-150s, etc. Known quantities with easy parts availability and consistently strong demand that are easy to refine my process on (assessment&#x2F;inspection, negotiation&#x2F;paperwork, repair, pre-sale QA), and learn how to properly do bodywork at an acceptable level in a private garage.<p>* In 2 years the hope is to move into still easy-to-move cars with a higher profit-per-vehicle. Lexus ES, Lexus RX, Acura TL, Acura MDX, Mazda MX-5, etc.<p>* In 4 years the hope is to start going after cars people really desire on the used market. &quot;Affordable dreams.&quot; Things like older BMW M cars, AMG Mercedes, Subaru WRX&#x2F;STis. Late 90s Japanese sport coupes. This has the potential to bring in enough money to cover rent, utilities, health insurance&#x2F;care, and groceries in full.<p>Business #1 will always bring in 4-5x as much money, but having a hobby pay the bills 5 or 6 years from now? I&#x27;m stoked. Since there&#x27;s no pressure for this to pay the bills, I get to enjoy it too.

I&#x27;m studying FreeBSD, C, C++, SDL2 and CMake. I&#x27;d love to highlight some of the open source projects I pitched in with as well as some of my own:<p>- aseprite (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aseprite.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aseprite.org&#x2F;</a>) is a cross-platform animated sprite editor by David Capello. I got FreeBSD support working [1] and added a shortcut to center the canvas [2]. This was my first C++ commit.<p>If you like retro game art, definitely stop by and check it out. It&#x27;s GPLv3 and you can build it for free, check out their [github](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;</a>).<p>- uMario (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jakowskidev&#x2F;uMario_Jakowski" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jakowskidev&#x2F;uMario_Jakowski</a>) is an NES Mario clone in C++ and SDL2. Check out the youtube video [3]. I got it building on Linux, FreeBSD and OS X [4]<p>- Then a couple of tiny C projects with CMake that are sort of boilerplate ATM, but they&#x27;re my first C programs. The cool thing is they use permissive licensed libraries and build across platforms since they use CMake. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;sdl2-playproject" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;sdl2-playproject</a> &#x2F; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;reST-lex-byacc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;reST-lex-byacc</a> &#x2F; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;ncurses-example" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;ncurses-example</a>.<p>On that front, I&#x27;m reading a book called &quot;Compiler Design Using FLEX and YACC&quot; by Vinu V. Das, which has been going good. As well as Lazy Foo&#x27;s SDL tutorial (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lazyfoo.net&#x2F;tutorials&#x2F;SDL&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lazyfoo.net&#x2F;tutorials&#x2F;SDL&#x2F;</a>).<p>- Another thing to mention is automatically rebuilding &#x2F; reloading scripts when a file is saved. I started using entr(1) for that, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;entrproject.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;entrproject.org&#x2F;</a>. Previously on projects like tmuxp and vcspull I&#x27;ve used sniffer (and looked into watchman) but have found this works best cross-platform. FreeBSD has file watching a bit trickier since we don&#x27;t have inotify or fsevents.<p>- On the dot-config front (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;.dot-config" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;.dot-config</a> &#x2F; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;vim-config" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tony&#x2F;vim-config</a>) got virtualenv + python 3 + vim working together [5], as well as neovim fully compatible with my standard vim-config. I&#x27;m now using neovim full time and all my plugins without any problems. They loads asynchronously with NeoBundleLazy and the autocompletion is async thanks to Shougu&#x27;s deoplete.nvim [6].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;pull&#x2F;893" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;pull&#x2F;893</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;pull&#x2F;892" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;aseprite&#x2F;pull&#x2F;892</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jya5He7KFsE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=jya5He7KFsE</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jakowskidev&#x2F;uMario_Jakowski&#x2F;pull&#x2F;1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jakowskidev&#x2F;uMario_Jakowski&#x2F;pull&#x2F;1</a><p>[5] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;klen&#x2F;python-mode&#x2F;pull&#x2F;609" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;klen&#x2F;python-mode&#x2F;pull&#x2F;609</a> (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;klen&#x2F;python-mode&#x2F;compare&#x2F;develop...tony:python3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;klen&#x2F;python-mode&#x2F;compare&#x2F;develop...tony:p...</a>)<p>[6] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Shougo&#x2F;deoplete.nvim" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Shougo&#x2F;deoplete.nvim</a>
