Labor Day Fun Project, Find Reddit Comments to Promote Your Business
For Labor Day I decided to play with OpenAI APIs and try to ship something (a prototype, a blog post, anything really). Whenever I launched a side project (e.g: https://www.probarsearch.com/, https://ff.bitlet.org/) I realized how bad I am at marketing or even at mentioning my the project to friends/social. I noticed that most of the traffic we got was coming from reddit/HN comments we made where it was reasonable to mention the sideproject/business. Given that, I tried to use OpenAI APIs to do exactly that, given a business/project…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
For Labor Day I decided to play with OpenAI APIs and try to ship something (a prototype, a blog post, anything really). Whenever I launched a side project (e.g: https://www.probarsearch.com/, https://ff.bitlet.org/) I realized how bad I am at marketing or even at mentioning my the project to friends/social. I noticed that most of the traffic we got was coming from reddit/HN comments we made where it was reasonable to mention the sideproject/business. Given that, I tried to use OpenAI APIs to do exactly that, given a business/project description, and a list of subreddits, monitor all comments and pick the ones where it makes sense to mention the business/project. While I had the project done in the labor day weekend, I decided to productionize it a bit (really just add a login system and a payment link to cover OpenAI costs) last weekend. If anyone is interested in giving a shot, you can play with it at https://sp.bitlet.org/. Feedback is always welcome!

This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.
- AJAPI Jobs, a new job site focused on APIs2012 · ▲37
In my spare time to remind myself that I could actually build stuff (and learn some Python, Flask, Redis, etc) I put together a simple job board to feature the best jobs in the API industry. The jobs can be either building APIs at companies like Twilio, Box, Stripe, etc. or integrating them. In addition to featuring those jobs, I'm also aggregating API jobs from GitHub Jobs, Stack Overflow Careers 2.0, and 37signals Job Board. Today I launched with what I would consider an 'MVP' with jobs from SendGrid, TokBox, Twilio, Zencoder, Parse, Stripe, Pusher and Box. Check it out, I'd love to know…

So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)

Hello everyone! We just launched our project for the 48H non-stop Codebits Programming Contest which took place this last days in Lisbon, Portugal. When a new project starts, you get all motivated to get it done. Weeks pass and now you are all confused and wondering why the hell you are doing what you are doing. We hope to help you get those thoughts out of your mind and focus on what's important: getting it done. http://www.whyamidoingit.com "Why Am I Doing It?" (WAIDI) is a personal reminder of why you are doing whatever you are doing disguised as a web app. WAIDI will help people like us…
- SHShow HN my holiday project: thingsand.me, simple image blogging2011 · ▲22
Did this during the holidays and just finished with few extra features: http://thingsand.me/ And an example blog: http://thingsand.me/jori I tried to keep the platform as simple as possible and focus on the images instead of making yet another blogging platform. Time will tell for what people are going to use it. I hope to add API soon (iPhone uploader would be awesome to blog daily activities).
- HNhackerByte - Newsletter for Start-up Folks (A weekend Project)2011 · ▲21
Friends, Romans, HNers! Link: http://hackerbyte.com This is my first “weekend project” and it was really fun doing it. The sleepless weekends nights when all my friends were our partying or something we (me and two friends) were busy creating ‘hackerByte’ - a weekly newsletter to share inspiration with start-up people. Nothing fancy - just we’d like to share some really nice stuff we read and some news with you, every week. We know that newsletters like these already exist so why one more? Because we are not really satisfied with what they are doing and here is our version of the wheel. We…
