We're not sure if we'd like to open source it, or sell it as an add-on, but we are looking for beta testers if anyone is interested (we currently support postgres and mysql). Send me an email at beta@alexggordon.com if you're interested.
The goal is to make email secure by default (with a specialized PKI to make it easy)... And turns out that when you make email secure you can publish it on the Internet, and have a few different distribution patterns for it. (Like just publishing, collaborative edition of documents, synchronization of data, etc.)
I didn't finish designing it, thus I'm lacking on details yet.
How come you chose django over something such as flask for problemotd?
I know Django super well and love the community and framework. While the framework does add some overhead it also makes for quicker development (in my case anyway).
I'm working on a new data model and language alternative to SQL. It works more like an object model, so you would say (Employee : Salary>80000).Department.Name for the name of departments of people making more than 80k.
No links for another month or so (sorry).
Its on the iTunes store, but its still in beta: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h34t/id949092708?ls=1&mt=8
Edit: The real story clearly is (c) 2010-Flippity-Floppity-Floop. :)
The backend is written in NodeJS with the SailsJS framework (which I used for Socket.IO support).
It runs in a Docker container on an AWS Autoscaling group with an RDS database.
Its been a blast to build
Mixed results so far, but am keeping at it at nights.
I'll post a link when I get home since I forgot to push it to Github.

Now I'm back to working on my main project, http://shadetree.com. It's a community for anybody who works on cars to look up technical data, repair guides, TSBs etc. about whatever vehicle they're working on.

It even has a cheesy 'Time saved' feature to help you see how much time you might have saved by not reading the full comment thread :-) Not sure how useful it actually is, but it was a lot of fun to develop. I used C#, edge.js, ideas from natural language processing, tree algorithms etc.
Unfortunately it only works on Win 64 right now (although I built it with node-webkit so making it cross platform desktop app should be feasible in the future)
Not nearly as complicated as a lot of the stuff here, but it's my first real solo programming project and I can't stop thinking about little ways to improve it!
- an API switch for a B2C travel agency webapp, switching from legacy API to Expedia API
- building a recommendation system based on Neo4J for an italian startup
- adding some new functionalities to a Struts2 B2C webapp (an invoice and report portal)
- developing in spare time a side project: http://www.prezziprodotti.it (mass retailer price comparator for italian market): it is still a beta release

Eventually, that's going into a rebuild of another project, which is Space Invaders[1] in C++. That barely works and yes, it bootstraps through a batch file with the Visual Studio compiler because I saw that on Handmade Hero and I thought it was awesome, because setting SDL up through the visual studio UI is kind of a pain.

I make absolutely no guarantees about the quality of anything, because it's all projects and stuff, almost entirely for self-education.
I'm working on a sort of DAW-ish thing for iPad. Except it's not really a DAW — more of a musical sketchpad. When I was sitting down and thinking of what I would like in a music creation app, I thought of two things. First, the typical DAW grid structure (and sheet music before it) is far too rigid for modern music. It's really hard to annotate music with syncopation, pitch bends, and fluid rhythms unless you already have the song in your head — and even then, it takes forever. Second, the feedback loop in most DAWs is really large. By the time you've pecked away at your piano roll and fiddled with the dozens of switches, your song is no longer fresh in your head. In other words, I wanted something akin to musical clay: a very simple, very malleable representation of music in space that focuses entirely on ease of interaction.
With my app, I try to solve both of these problems. In regards to the former, you have the option of drawing every note arbitrarily in pitch or time, as simply as in an ordinary drawing app. (Snapping is an option, too.) And as for the latter, the whole thing is a scroll view, so panning and zooming are incredibly simple. Furthermore, you have immediate access to undo/redo and can also rewind to the last place you played from, meaning that iterating on your ideas takes only a few seconds as opposed to the arduous process of controlling a DAW. The UI tries to get out of your way as much as humanly possible. I should emphasize that this won't be production software; the music you create will sound like MIDI. Rather, my goal here is to make an app that you can freely sketch and create musical ideas in, which can then be used as a rough draft for working with a more featureful DAW. Performance is a top priority, and I'm targeting 60fps on my iPad 3.
Here's a very early video with (mostly) mock UI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra8OvnoxKQw
Hope to release within the next few months!
Unfortunately don't have a demo site up yet.

A declarative way of defining JSON transformations. Hoping to possibly create a JSON-first GraphQL with it later on by letting the client supply the definitions of the data structures it expects.
Networking for makers.

All the code's here: https://github.com/charlieegan3/serializer Still working a bit on that.
Code not released yet. We're using tools like Azure, with a Windows Phone as the smartphone controller, and Arduino to drive motors for the scope.
Started in February and I've been able to write to test projects in it so far. But lots of work to go.
Extendable version manager with plugins for Ruby, Elixir & Erlang. Node.js plugin coming soon.
