Part 2 of : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6294650<p>Conditions:<p>- all posts must include a story explaining why you care about the project<p>This time, the conditions are enforced! Last time people weren't giving feedback, so I built something to fix that!<p>http://showhnkarma.meteor.com/<p>- if you post, you should give feedback to 4-5 other posts
I am working on <a href="http://hmpgr.com" rel="nofollow">http://hmpgr.com</a> (checkout the pronunciation in the "what is hmpgr?" link)<p>edit: use Invite Code: HN<p>Click on each app to see more details about it.<p>Back story: As a hacker, when you build a small application, its either web-based, iOS or android. All alone you cannot build for all the platform. So the first idea which came to me that why not build only web-apps which are responsive and hence can run smoothly on all platforms. But the problem was having a great experience on a web app is difficult. But if you think about it, its not true for all cases, you can have great experience and utility if the app itself is extremely simple and minimal.<p>And this is true in many many apps. In fact its true for Hacker News itself. So I thought of building a store for apps which are extremely minimal yet useful. The four apps (Running, Pins, Movies and Notes) are all my creation. Some of them you might find useful on a daily basis and some are useful only on specific occasions. The technology used is Ruby on Rails and we will be releasing a developers kit for folks interested in building apps on hmpgr.<p>Why would you build apps on hmpgr? Because you are guaranteed atleast one user (that's me :). Just kidding. Hopefully its going to be much more than that.
The idea is to easily get attention of fellow users who are already on hmpgr platform. The system gives you the option to install/uninstall apps on your choice basis.<p>Obviously, the system has bugs and am still working on them so use them and give me feedback.<p>Great idea @cjbarber.
I was thinking of doing a separate Show HN but this seems like a great idea. Thanks for building it.
I'm working on:<p><a href="http://showhnkarma.meteor.com/" rel="nofollow">http://showhnkarma.meteor.com/</a><p><a href="http://bootstrap3themes.meteor.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bootstrap3themes.meteor.com/</a><p><a href="http://gmailunreplieds.meteor.com/" rel="nofollow">http://gmailunreplieds.meteor.com/</a><p>I built the first because I believe individual efforts of creation should be more highly rewarded on hacker news.<p>The second, because bootstrap is everywhere - and I think it should be easier for people who build things in bootstrap to make their site look different, and stay with the trends!<p>The last, because I don't want to miss opportunities in my email :)
I'm working on <a href="http://postcardsocial.net/" rel="nofollow">http://postcardsocial.net/</a><p>I'm building this for a couple key reasons:
1. I wanted a better way to directly get social content on my own website as I blogged less and less and used social media more and more.
2. I wanted to develop an open API protocol for social networking communications. The mobile app uses this protocol to communicate with WordPress sites that use the plugin component but ultimately any web server implementing the protocol could work.<p>I'm actually now looking for people interested in beta testing both the WordPress plugin and mobile app so please sign up on that page if interested. I'm also keeping a blog with more information on everything <a href="http://blog.postcardsocial.net/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.postcardsocial.net/</a><p>Great idea for a HN thread! I'll visit frequently and comment on others' shares.
I been working on this job searching app for federal jobs for about 2 weeks, I'm doing some updates now. I was thinking of looking for API's that include any jobs not just federal. I don't expect money from it, I just wanted to use the API and do some flat design. I guess just for fun and building my skills.<p>Jobsy: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jobsy/id687059035?mt=8" rel="nofollow">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jobsy/id687059035?mt=8</a>
<a href="http://octopus.org" rel="nofollow">http://octopus.org</a><p>Firstly, I'm a Marketer. I think whilst many other jobs and functions in business are becoming commoditized, you can't commoditize creativity. Marketing I also believe separates the best businesses - it's the 'moat'.<p>Octopus is my vision of how the role of the Marketer and software in general might take shape. It's clear that with SAAS and the ever expanding role of the CMO, there's going to be lots of choices and lots of scope in Marketing. This brings problems too, like how to select the right applications and vendors.<p>Hopefully with Octopus, Marketers will be able rely on a service that helps them choose and buy the right Marketing software and services for them/their company.
We are working on Shyahi - Your Social Resume (<a href="http://shyahi.com" rel="nofollow">http://shyahi.com</a>).<p>It all started as a discussion with my co-founder Sapan. We wanted a way to highlight our activity on StackOverflow, Github, Twitter and our blog posts while looking for jobs but couldn't find a good way to list them on our resumes or on our LinkedIn profiles. Even if we list them there, there is no way I could update it every time I do something on these sites. That's when we decided to build Shyahi.<p>Shyahi is a new way to build a profile to showcase your developer contributions and social activity. Its free, easy to set up and pulls in stats directly from Dribbble, Github, Stackoverflow, Twitter and your blog feed which means that the Shyahi profile is always up to date.
During free time I'm working on <a href="http://forexnotions.com/" rel="nofollow">http://forexnotions.com/</a> - free forex signals aggregator and <a href="http://cryptrading.com/" rel="nofollow">http://cryptrading.com/</a> - cryptocurrencies trading data aggregator. I want to improve those sites & implement more realtime financial service further. Why I made this? I love realtime data gathering and analysis as developer
I'm working on <a href="http://thejobist.com" rel="nofollow">http://thejobist.com</a> , a dead simple list of of websites where you can look for a job.<p>Backstory: I found a bunch of sites a few years ago while looking for a new job, and wanted to share my 'job search sites' bookmark folder. Also, google does not seem to be a good starting point.<p>If you know of sites I'm missing, be sure to tell me.
I am working on <a href="http://contactsanalytics.com/" rel="nofollow">http://contactsanalytics.com/</a> I call it "Google for email" why? You can build your email list depending on niche you want to target. Check it out. Why I made this? I think that marketing field is really challanging and I think that "big data" thing is really exciting nowadays.
