Took an idea from jacquesm (thanks!): <a href="http://fcgadgets.blogspot.com/2010/10/ad-spaces-gadget.html" rel="nofollow">http://fcgadgets.blogspot.com/2010/10/ad-spaces-gadget.html</a><p>Launched this last month: <a href="http://www.textmyoffice.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.textmyoffice.com</a><p>Some other things still in the pipe.
I put up two sites this month, but I'm not sure they qualify. They don't have any chance at growing into a startup, but I'm going to list them anyway.<p>The first is a little game that lets you try to unscramble words [1]. It's hardest word list is from a post about the 1000 most useful words that came up here a while ago. My favourite thing about the site is that it fetches definitions and the like from wordnik so you can learn as you play. If you want to try playing let me know and I'll fix the last known bug. The focus is stolen from the input box when I check to see if the top word has changed, but I didn't fix it because I got distracted by more interesting projects.<p>The second is a personal website with links to my blog and a portfolio of past projects [2]. I figured starting to put together a portfolio would help to get me a job at some point and that it would be a nice way to start learning Clojure, which I've been wanting to try for a while. Still haven't decided on a domain name though.<p>Right now I'm working on a third project that people on Hacker News might be more interested in. I'm hoping it will bear some resemblance to Stack Overflow when it gets a little more fleshed out, but that won't be done this month. God willing it will be done some time in December so I can share it with all of you. I'm really excited about it.<p>1: <a href="http://anagramscramble.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://anagramscramble.appspot.com/</a><p>2: <a href="http://jcolessite.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://jcolessite.appspot.com/</a>
Here's my app for the month launched today. <a href="http://www.previouslook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.previouslook.com</a>. Makes it easy to look back at the snapshots of popular web pages over time. So far it's a proof of concept with couple sites. Will expand to include more web pages.<p>Here's my other HN post about it, <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1953087" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1953087</a>
I launched <a href="http://www.hackerlunch.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.hackerlunch.com</a><p>It lets hackers meet up with each other for lunch (and hopefully an interesting chat). You basically make a post stating when and where you are free to have lunch and others can join in.<p>Launched it a few days ago but unfortunately haven't received much interest or feedback. I will probably release another polished version in a month and see if it gets more traction.
There are some already listed in this thread: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1938859" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1938859</a><p>I launched a CSS sprite generator at <a href="http://instantsprite.com" rel="nofollow">http://instantsprite.com</a>.
Launched a personal finance app 'Can I Afford it now?'<p><a href="http://caniafforditnow.com" rel="nofollow">http://caniafforditnow.com</a><p>Get a Financial health checkup anonymously

Instant map search for nearest hotels, foods, bars, parking, clinics etc. Launch it this month - <a href="http://www.instamapsearch.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.instamapsearch.com</a>
I launched my personal/blog site. I also have a small app I'm hoping to get released by (tomorrow), but is not quite done yet.<p><a href="http://www.wulfpak.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.wulfpak.net</a>
<a href="http://droppic.com/" rel="nofollow">http://droppic.com/</a> (<a href="https://droppic.com/" rel="nofollow">https://droppic.com/</a> too)<p>Drag-and-drop gallerys for designers to show mockups and comps.<p>Feedback appreciated! Was just about to post an RMS, but maybe I'll wait until the Nov rush has died down a bit. :)<p>(Idea from @glenmurphy's Dropmocks project from a couple months back + PSD support + big files + revisions + ipad viewer + ...)
Though I started with a rough idea several months ago, I did most of my work coding <a href="http://www.sparkmuse.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sparkmuse.com</a> during November. I'm not gonna make it by the end of the month, but I'll be opening the alpha in around 2 weeks. Right now most of the coding is done, I'm just on the lookout for more content to add to the site.
I launched <a href="http://publiclog.com" rel="nofollow">http://publiclog.com</a><p>(The original post is here <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1891808" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1891808</a>)<p>It's a fun way to "log" every activity that you do (eating, drinking, working, playing, ...).<p>You can also see the "history" of all of your activities (Past, Present and Future)
I launched a cool iPad game: <a href="http://chopperdefense.com/" rel="nofollow">http://chopperdefense.com/</a>. Already have a few "paying customers" and even more Cydia freeloaders :) Now working on getting the word out and on a major update that would also bring it to iPhone, hopefully.
I launched <a href="http://guitaryst.com" rel="nofollow">http://guitaryst.com</a> today: a better way to read guitar tablature.<p>Hacker news launchpost here: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1950632" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1950632</a>
I took it up and brainstormed a product and wrote a few blog posts up at <a href="http://WeddingBudgetBuddy.com" rel="nofollow">http://WeddingBudgetBuddy.com</a> but I haven't launched a product yet. To me building audience is key, and I've been making slow progress getting relevant traffic. I'm going to try to launch soon.<p>I learned loads about starting a product (as opposed to a simple project) this month and it was incredibly valuable.<p>There's talk of it becoming a monthly thing, which I'd love to be a part of.<p>Well done to all who launched!
Submitted a simple card game to the App Store and put <a href="http://www.myspaceappstats.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspaceappstats.com/</a> online. If I could somehow let app developers know about it, I'm pretty sure many would visit it daily to see how their app is doing, but I'm not sure how to contact them. Tried just going through each dev and figure out their contact info from their homepage / app but that turned out to take a loong time.
Launched this month: <a href="http://tradesalerts.com" rel="nofollow">http://tradesalerts.com</a>
Revised it recently to include AGM Calendar, Downloadable Inc's Dividend records, etc. Low traffic, added quite a few enhancements to work in the pipline to automate things. Great to see it developed quite nicely over time.
Failed miserably trying to write an app for my personal use within November. I have my back end done and ready and i need to put together a front end still. Was not possible to spend much hours due to work and also to be honest, time spent was not exactly productive i would say. Need to proceed and wrap this up soon.
Launched a beta of <a href="http://babble.ly" rel="nofollow">http://babble.ly</a> today. The concept was born in late October, and execution done this month. Would love feedback on it!<p>My Show HN post: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1954329" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1954329</a>
Haven't launched yet, but I've got half an app for planning camping trips using the new Active.com API. I decided to do it in Rails, so I was learning something brand new. It's close though. I've got a cool map mashup going at least.
Launched a Windows Phone 7 App that is now in the Windows Phone Marketplace. <a href="http://bit.ly/ezZv2t" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/ezZv2t</a>
I already know C# so making apps for Windows Phone 7 comes naturally.
I took it up...but never finished :( Unfortunately this was the worst possibly month I could have picked to join. I had 2 major code releases and a bunch of late nights. Sigh...I'm so pissed!
I've done a "soft launch" to begin driving traffic to ScheduleHQ:<p><a href="http://www.schedulehq.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.schedulehq.com/</a><p>The goal is to grow organically as I build it out.
i launched <a href="http://www.adobocode.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.adobocode.com</a><p>it's my way of sharing back to the community what i learned from it. a set of tutorials. hoping this will help some of my people here in the Philippines but sad to know that most people browsing it are from India and US. but still im hoping they'll learn from my site..
