WhoWorks.At - Professional Heads Up Display

Protip: http://whoworks.at/download to skip the sign up process This weekend I built a simple Google Chrome extension at Startup Weekend NYC. The idea was to create a professional heads-up-display that you can use to see your connections all over the web. I ended up having to hack my own company search feature for LinkedIn since they don't have an API method for that available yet. I ended up using their internal autocomplete API. I've been in touch with some developers there and from what I hear a Company Search is a very frequent request and they plan on offering in the future. Let me know…

In plain words

WhoWorks.At is a Google Chrome extension that displays your professional connections across the web in a heads-up format. Built at Startup Weekend NYC, it allows users to search for connections by company, using a custom implementation to access LinkedIn data where official APIs were unavailable. The tool is designed for professionals who want quick visibility into their network while browsing online.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    hi all, I've always wanted to make my own game, but couldn't afford a thousand-dollar adobe (flash+photoshop) license. I'm not a talented programmer, have no degree in CS. But I understand some elements of design. So I got me a copy of ImpactJS, and after about 5 months of steep learning curve (at least for me), I managed to come up with a game. I also integrated it with a highscore and badge system, similar to what you get at Kongregate. You need to login with Google/OpenID to earn badges/scores. link is: http://www.hotbazooka.com/privatejoe hope to hear some feedback/questions from you guys!

    I remember seeing the Dragon Labs Dragonfish Glowing Form Demo[1] when it first came out, and it always stuck in my head. They implement the effect by using a rather large background image and a mask image and move the background image around via Javascript. I was inspired and wanted to see how close I could get with CSS3. I recommend using a Webkit browser [and you can see an alternate version of the animation on Firefox 4].
