We were tired of the noise on Twitter (noisy apps, lame content, erratic but otherwise valuable tweeters), so we decided to fix it. Proxlet is a Twitter API Proxy that runs scripts to modify the Twitter experience. Works with Twitter for iPhone, TweetDeck, and any other client that supports custom API URLs, including a 1-click install Chrome Extension for Twitter.com What do you think? Right approach?

http://flightlite.com Flightlite is a visual flight tracker combining 3D and overhead views and flight information. It is my first launch since I started reading Hacker News and was developed as a side project for the past 6 months or so. I made the final push on it this morning to get it to a semi-launchable state. - The best coverage is US and UK - Sometimes the data I get is a bit crazy (spent a lot of effort to correct/sanitise it but it's not perfect) - Doesn't work in IE 64bit or Linux due to Google Earth not being available I'm now trying to work out how to take this further, if there…

There's lots of improvements I'd like to make but thought I should get some feedback first to see if anyone's interested in it. The main page just shows the most recent feed items (currently from only the 3 feeds I've added myself), but the idea is that it'll show the most popular items aggregated from all users. It also provides TLDR summaries for each item, based on word frequency. http://bayfig.com EDIT: Typo

http://invincibilitee.com Me and my co-founder submitted an app for YC W11, with a web site that would help college graduates figure out what jobs they could get with their chosen degree. We got a rejection email, and already had this as a back-up idea in case we did get rejected. So in the month between rejection and today, we found a printer, found some graphic designers, and got enough done that we felt comfortable with it as a first iteration. I know there aren't so many non-web app startups on HN, but I thought y'all might like to see how 2 guys rebounded from YC rejection.

Hey, I think I did this the wrong way round last time. I hope I'm doing it right this time. This is the latest incarnation of the app, http://said.fm/. A lot of people love listening to talk programmes but don't have the time or bandwidth to look for them and just want a trusted suggestion. They also seem to like listening to stuff mostly on the go or while performing some mundane task. With this release, we tried to solve both those 2 problems. We still have a way to go with introducing a proper mobile app but a lot of people still use their iPods and we tried not to exclude them. Finally,…

This was an attempt to make css more accessible to javascript. It just happened to solve a lot of the same problems as less and sass as a side-effect. I'll start with a few examples and then break out the code and explain it... Here's a generic example: css // Begin CSS ( "selector1" ) ({ property1: value, property2: value, // ... }) ( "selector2" ) ({ property1: value, property2: value, // ... }) ; // End CSS Some less and sass features (Variables, Mixins, etc.): // Variable var text_color = "black"; // Mixin var dim = function( w, h ) { return { width: w, height: h, } }; css // Begin CSS (…

URL: http://hipchan.com/ The story: after seeing this on HN http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=1940089 and seeing a comment about 4chan, I decided that I could build something that embraces the 4chan idea. Even though the story today is 'social' I really think that anonymity will continue to have a place in future communities. It was supposed to be a weekend hack, and it was! 95% of the features were worked out in the weekend following, but somehow testing lasted till today... Primary feature: The ability to have * boards. For example: http://hipchan.com/#hn The Tech:…

Yesterday we added a brand new badging incentive system to the Khan Academy. It's really simple for now, round 1, blah blah all that jazz. We're dealing with all types of internal debates about proper behavior to encourage and how users will respond. We've seen students in schools get extremely excited about very, very simple game mechanics attached to their practice problems/homework/etc, and building the roots of a deeper badging system seemed like an important next step to help us guide users through desired paths in the system. You can check out all of our badges here…

I just set up a new Amazon EC2 account, free for one year, with their Free Usage Tier (http://aws.amazon.com/free/) and installed a Tor Proxy on it. Quite easy to do and as long as you keep an eye on the transfer volume it doesn't cost a dime! (30 GB are free) Why not help Amazon to be a first class supporter of WikiLeaks and the first amendment?

I wrote a quick and dirty script that I wanted to share with HN. This bookmarklet will put a border around the top 10 comments on any comments page so you can quickly see what comments other readers find valueable. Just create a new bookmark and copy the text below into the URL field.…

Here is the link: http://www.wikihowtodo.com I know a lot of geeks share the same dream -- build the next kick-ass todo-list/project management system. So do I. However, as I was quite positive that my web development skill is worse than 99% of developers' in this community, I decided to build something simple, useless but unique. So I built this. Basically it's a Wikihow scraper, nothing more. It gives you a place to store interesting Wikihow articles and yes, they are converted into todo lists. I know this site is not that good, but I still need your guys' feedback. For example, as I am a…

http://readdis.com Hey everyone, Readdis is a project that I've been working on recently and I would love to get your feedback on it. I originally wrote it for internal use to help my team and I better track the links that we send to each other. We found it quite useful so I decided to open it up and see if anyone else was interested. It definitely is at the MVP stage right now with lots of things left to be done. I would greatly appreciate any feedback, ideas, and most importantly, comments on whether or not you find it useful. Thanks! Kevin

A friend and I are launching an alpha first thing in 2011. We're trying to gain some momentum and whatnot, so we're opening early registration as of tonight. We're planning to develop a Bayesian network to derive suggestions. If you're interested in seeing our progress, check it out. Edit: Any and all suggestions, criticism, advice, etc is highly appreciated!

Would love any feedback, especially on the documentation. Is it clear what the purpose of "Higml" is? Is its advantage clear? Thanks!
