I just launched my first web app/side project/potential startup today called PillHQ(<a href="http://www.pillhq.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pillhq.com</a>). It helps people remember to take their medications.
I made a small and simple web app to complement wikitravel.org - <a href="http://www.picitravel.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.picitravel.com</a>. 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.
<a href="http://comparerc.com" rel="nofollow">http://comparerc.com</a> - Search Engine for the Remote Controlled hobby (quadrocopters, helicopters, planes, fpv, etc).<p>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.<p>I've also writing a weekly "In the Trenches" journal about the project: <a href="http://euphonious-intuition.com/category/comparerc/" rel="nofollow">http://euphonious-intuition.com/category/comparerc/</a>
<a href="http://wshoppr.com/about" rel="nofollow">http://wshoppr.com/about</a> - 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.
I made a little development tool for Chrome that does live reload and lets you save directly from the devtools. <a href="http://tin.cr" rel="nofollow">http://tin.cr</a>

<a href="http://brightswipe.com" rel="nofollow">http://brightswipe.com</a> - 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.
Will soon be launching site with information on products releasing in the future and to gauge level of anticipation of people.
