Ask HN: Show me your Half Baked project
312 comments
Why do you consider http://news.ycombinator.com as half baked?
Because it's still missing features that might seem essential if you decided what was essential a priori instead of empirically.
When you started Hacker News you wanted a site which you could moderate and where users could only upvote (even though users of a certain karma level can downvote), according to Huffman's interview on mixergy. What features did you think were essential a priori that you left out?
An inspiringly purist design. I appreciate removing clutter, and removing it even when it hurts.

Half baked and medium rare. Delicious.
I actually didn't use source control back when I started, so I can't show you what it looked like on launch day, but this is what BCC looked like in February 2007. Static HTML, written in notepad. The web application wouldn't exist for another year yet, and the software shipped with less than 20 bingo card activities written (it now ships with about 1,000).

Sales from February 2007 were about the same as my sales from today.

Hm - are you saying your sales haven't grown, or that they've grown 28x?
regvex.py -- http://gist.github.com/641688
Regvex is a proof of concept timing attack against regex engines. To make a long story short, the timing characteristics of regex engines make it perfectly suited to timing attacks, allowing you to (locally or remotely) create data that matches a given regex, and potentially even reconstruct the actual regex you're matching against.
The current version works locally against Python's sre, but I plan to take it further when I have time.

For others, this helped me understand the basis of timing attacks.
For others, this helped me understand the basis of timing attacks.
You will not be able to reconstruct the regex by a timing attack unless you make some assumptions on the input like maximum length and even then reconstructing the regex will be tough. If you don't make a maximum length assumption then the best you can do is create a string that will pass it because you will never be able to tell the difference between /a+/ and /a{1,10^99999999999999}/. Practically this might not make a difference but theoretically it does.
Actually, while that was my first thought as well, it depends on the underlying implementation. I'm not positive here, but I think that the characteristics of the regex engine could allow you to recognize the difference between /a+/ and /a{1,1000}/. That said, I haven't done anything to this end yet -- we'll see if my idea remotely pans out. It'll certainly require knowing what regex engine you're attacking, unlike just generating data.
You're probably right. I think the idea is really cool and I'm surprised some CS grad student hasn't jumped on this stuff yet. There is a lot of theory lurking in the background for this kind of stuff and it would definitely make a nice master's thesis.
Fascinating, could you explain how this works?
I'm planning on writing up a blog post exploring the attack and possibilities, but from a high level:
When you pass data into a regex engine for matching, it works character-by-character. When it reaches a character that doesn't match, the matching is terminated. That means that if you have the regex /^foo$/, "f" will take slightly longer to parse than "b", since it'll move on to the next character for "f", but not "b".
Due to this, you can produce matching data for a regex in a fairly small number of samples. Interestingly, it takes fewer samples to reliably get characters further down the string -- however, this may be a result of my horrid statistics code. Not sure yet.
As far as I'm aware, no one has ever done this before.

As someone who has made regular expression acceleration products, we were aware of this possibility but we didn't ever implement a proof of concept. The range of applications is pretty staggering just in network and host security. I'm interested to see what you come up with.

I'm torn on the price display there, given the format unless you attract a very high quality buyer invariably the price is going to be a factor. But then if you don't have it makes it harder for the buyer.
Can you clarify what you mean? I'm not sure I follow. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I think he's suggesting that the most obvious way for potential buyers to quantify freelancers is through price, meaning that no matter what (in most cases), the job will go to the lowest bidder, leaving quality freelancers with no other way to 'prove' they are worth more.
I'm not sure I agree with robryan 100%, as there are other ways for buyers to compare the freelancers (years experience, etc.). For a middle-ground, you could have the freelancers give a per hour range to be negotiated dependent on the scope/intensity of the project. Also, you could expand on the freelancers' credentials by including websites, previous projects, or client testimonials.
Good luck with your launch!

yeah, we have plenty of places for freelancers online which are essencially a race to the bottom on rate, a lot of buyers are looking to compare on rate, most sellers that sell at a premium would at least like buyers to give them the time of day to hear what that premium will get them.
I've thought about this idea and 3 things should help:
1. we'll have a min. hourly rate of $40/hr.
2. by making it phone-based, we will be filtering out most non-US programmers
3. we intend to charge $2-5/lead once we get traction. This will probably make it unaffordable for folks that only compete on price.
I really don't want to attract elance/rentacoder-type audience which only cares about cost. My experience as a freelancer AND client has shown that you get what you pay for. I'd like higher end clients to match with higher quality coders.

I think you underestimate the capacities of non-US programmers. The international shops (ie. the coders from India and Singapore who can charge a fraction of what a US programmer would need to) usually have access to great VOIP and 24/7 availability.

cool idea but the design looks really spammy.

http://bulletxt.com - take notes/outlines easily (collapse indented text).
This looks great. One minor problem I had while trying the demo:
press [`] key (key to the left of #1) to hide/show subtasks
Bookmarked. This reminds me of OneNote but brought online. Feature suggestion: annotations for your notes. I think students and 'paper-replacement' users might find something like that convenient combined with the regular note-taking tools.
I wouldn't recommend putting too much time into this. After thinking about it, I'm not sure how many of your users would find the feature useful. I have a tablet which includes a pen, but that makes me an outlier.

I fell in love with darcs (switched from git) and wanted a place to put my stuff, since github would no longer be of much use to me. So I made it. Right now I just add things as I need them, or think they'd be a good idea (like "ssh [email protected] init reponame"). Been meaning to get around to built-in issue tracking, but I'm busy working on other projects.

Nice! Just add a 'Deal' button so it deals some random cards as you press it.

This is fantastic. I've also signed up and am glad you shared this. Something I've always wanted but figured it was out of reach.
This post is great, too. We should make this a regular feature because, how many frequent HN users end up launching a neat product like this and it languishes among blah-blah news links? Tragic.
I've never even posted a launch on HN, but I love seeing them -- it seems like they should be highlighted on the new page or something.

cool. would love feedback. we haven't really 'launched' it yet as we've just too busy on other projects, and for instance when you do google analytics integration you can end up with WAY too many keywords and some weird behavior on the dashboard page...
Well - feedback so far is: I signed up and setup a profile/keywords etc. in under 2 minutes. I'll email you when I start getting information in my inbox :)
Looks great. Who did the design for you?

good implementation, but why 3 websites for the pro with 1000 keywords?
Don't even limit to websites at all, just use keywords. It's regex parsing anyways, it's not hard to check any number of domains.
The failing point of almost all rank tracking systems is limiting keywords and domains the way they do

This.
Also: grouping keywords in different, Venn-like ways should be easy and intuitive.

good point. those numbers keep changing and the pro seems too low; we're probably going to make it higher.

Made it for my gf and I, but never got around to polishing it. It still tentatively works. Basically it sends reminders at odd times because I felt when you set a reminder, you automatically remember it anyway, and wind up staring at the clock. So this comes at different times.
Bit fuzzy around the edges and I haven't worked on it in months :(

http://tackynotes.com - An idea I had for a couple years as a browser extension for Firefox but never implemented. When Chrome hit, the ease of writing extensions was too luring to pass up. I'm not the fastest coder and my motivation wanders easily so after sitting on this for months and finally releasing it, I found out someone beat me to the Chrome Gallery with the same idea. I think both have their strong points, but he has 200k installs and has been "featured". I've barely got 600. There's more I've wanted to do with it, but still it sits. I guess that qualifies (for me at least) as half-baked.

Can you take the create table sql statements and create a complete web application? I.e. sql queries ( if there are foreign key relationships - automatically construct the inner joins ?) to insert, view, update then expose the SQL queries in the target language (my target language is C++) as an API which can be called from the Business layer, automatically construct the User interface ( for example - Web UI/ Text UI (ncurses ui) / GUI ) and retarget it for any database ? If you marked the fields in the create table statements as "search_key" can you automatically add the search facility in the sql stored procedure all the way up to the UI.
That's what my application is trying to do: Target language=C++, target UI = Web UI using wt, target database = postgres
git://github.com/neilxdsouza/codehelper.git
Currently it generates a makefile in the output directory which compiles with a Wt (witty) UI which can be run as a standalone web server. Still a work in progress - I've done it in C++ - but you need not be restricted to C++ (You should be able to emit code in any language once you have parsed the modified sql grammar which my parser already does). Sample inputs available in the inputs folder. To see the Web UI working you need wt (http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt) and the extjs-2.1 library

Granary (granary.heroku.com)
Very much half-baked. Granary is sort of an online Access/Bento webapp. It started off with an emphasis on making data publicly available and editable (Wikipedia for data?), but that's faded into the background somewhat with private databases available.
Probably ideal for small websites/non-technical people who want to make their data available via web interface and API (like a hosted database?). Feel free to signup with a fake email to mess around with it, this is the dev site (and also, the only site).
Some simple examples of what it can do:
* http://granary.heroku.com/public/pj8lF5uM - pictures (of fruit)
* http://granary.heroku.com/public/GKhdmAFt - links (bookmarking)
* http://granary.heroku.com/public/8aHsg1cZ - information (the planets)

http://www.openpoll.us/
openpoll is an electronic direct democracy that will allow Americans to vote on state and federal bills and elections. It is currently in development and has been for the past 2 years (I work on it in my spare time as getting funding isn't a viable option). I am in the data acquisition stage right now. That means writing parsers to pull legislation information from every state's website. As of right now, the site isn't much more than a UI slapped on top of a DB. It has registration, basic voting, and commenting. I would like to hear any potential ideas from the internet community for this site.
I plan on having beta testing in the first quarter of 2011. Some point after that, I will open source the code. Then I will add a Web API that will allow smartphone applications to be built. And if I get enough traction, eventually turn my LLC into a non-profit. My target market is every single American. My eventual goal is to turn phone booths into voting booths. Pretty lofty goals, but I believe it will make America a much better place.

Got lots of original content (interviews, 1500 of them); not sure the best way to make money out of this, in fact if you have some good ideas to monetize this stuff please let me know. Do you think ads would be best or some arrangement like 10% of the content free and pay to access the rest?

http://www.fruitshow.org - A simple forum
Mainly implemented at http://www.crazyontap.com
The original version was built in 3 hours after Joel Spolsky closed his off topic forum ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/01/25.html ). The name itself comes from Joel, he called us a "3rd rate fruit show". I put a bunch more hours into it and open sourced it -- a few people still download occasionally.
I had intended to make it a much better forum following Joel's own design philosophy ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswi... ) but sadly life got in the way. I'm still thinking I might revisit it someday.

I wanted to be able to see products on Amazon side-by-side with their pros and cons: http://silvos.com.
I need to add more products, product specs, and fix the way the pros/cons work, but I'm already using it to start thinking about which digital camera to get.

Interesting idea - in a similar space to my startup http://www.happybuy.com/
It may be good if the site was able to, based upon the metadata and extraction from the product description, show the relative differences in the specs of the products.
For instance, if I compare a Macbook 13" and a Macbook Pro 15" it would be great if it listed all of the differences - such as screen size: 2", price: $300, speed: 0.4Ghz, weight: 700gms, popularity: 200 difference in sales rank etc.
It would allow objective comparisons to go along with the subjective comparisons of the reviews you currently show.

That's a great point -- currently, I'm in the process of scraping specs from other sites, and I really like your idea of putting a layer of understanding over that to simplify the display for the user.
Kind of like Google Squared, but easier to generate the table.

This looks useful. It would be a good idea to have the pros and cons lists next to each other so that one doesn't need to scroll down long lists.

Pay and get paid to complete open source tasks, bugs, etc. We are having trouble figuring out why the idea is not catching on. Is it fundamentally the idea of paying for open source, the traction or other?
Fixing bugs is a much less glamourous task than implementing features, and people aren't as inclined to take on the dull and frustrating task of fixing other's mistakes.
Beyond payment, how do you build up the pride and reputation of bug-fixers? How do you make them heroes in the community? Or rather, just heroes in general?

I thought of the application as a way for freelancers to get paid for relatively short tasks in between jobs while helping the open source community.
The site isn't geared just for bug fixes. It's any task for any open source project that needs to be done for a price. For example, this recent task http://nextsprocket.com/tasks/python-for-enunciate wants to port enunciate from ruby to python.

A major problem with it for me is the high complexity to low pay for most of the projects I see.

Hacker News Safari Extension: http://github.com/braintapper/Hacker-News-Safari-Extension
My attempt at a prettified Safari Extension for reading HN - for fun, not money. Lets you star items, follow sources and or user submissions etc. Uses Safari's SQLite db to store stuff.
Some explanation of how/why: http://blog.braintapper.com/update_hacker_news_safari_extens...
Only about halfway there, got busy with contract work. The source is all there if you want to build it though. Still buggy. Some edge cases are breaking my page scraping code (i.e. HN Poll items, etc.).

But we do support setting up relationships between your datasets and we auto generate the views for you. We also have a fairly robust security model that lets you restrict user/group access to datasets both vertically (filters records meeting criteria) and horizontally (restrict access to certain fields). Plus what you're actually creating are Django apps, so (in theory) you can export them when you're done building them and host them on your own servers.

I don't think it would be a miniscule market, someone was asking me about multiplayer on iphone the other day and I don't even make iphone games.
Sorry I was unclear. Multiplayer on iOS is a huge market. But with Apple providing peer-to-peer built-in a hosted solution such as PlayRelay might not find many fans. Game Center might be "good enough". That is why I am trying to add things like accountability (opponent is losing and quits the game with no punishment) and tournaments.
Haha, my project couldn't be a better fit for your description: http://valuegrapher.com/
Looks great! I do all my timesheeting via an IRC bot - will plug this thing in and then blog about it when I get the chance :)
hey - can you say more about the IRC bot? I'm working on ohMore.com and the idea is somewhat similar, but with web/mobile interface instead of irc.
Cool, thanks!

www.appcanvas.com. I posted it here a few days back and was blasted for poor and unintuitive usability. Have been working my ass off on the UX since then. For what's it worth it definitely fits the description here.
I think this is an incredible concept! I tried to use it but couldn't actually enter in any text (FF 3.6.11) but keep at it! This is a really great idea and already well on the way to being a great execution.
Yeah the usability sucks. Right now the problem is that one can use it after 15 minutes of training and become expert in may be few hours of training, after which you can create super complex sites like twitter/HN.
I am doing a UX rewamp and trying to minimize the learning curve. The next version with some major UI modifications and support for all browsers should be out in 2 weeks. Do follow me on twitter or drop a line and I will make sure you know.

I worked for Project Looking Glass, added natural language voice control. It was really cool demo and stuff but didn't go anywhere as the parent project was always in a demo like state itself.
I did continue to work for Google and played a part in some of the SoC activities for next year.

As far as I know, there was ONE GUY in Germany that managed to install it and get it running. He blogged about it under the title "That's Real RAD!" in German - but my lack of autotools skill and inabiilty to properly use qtruby as a "lib" meant that the install process was pretty diabolical.
What did you work on? Did you ever do anything with it after SOC?

http://movief.ly
Wanted a place to keep track of what movies I was watching, when and who I was watching them with, and then be able to recall them later.
For instance: Recent movies watched http://movief.ly/users/adamfortuna/viewings
Movies first seen in 2009 http://movief.ly/users/adamfortuna/lists/first-seen-in-2009
Never went beyond the 'scratch my own itch' stage, but gomiso seems to like the idea of checking in to TV/movies.

Nicely done. I made something vaguely similar as a weekend project. Mine is a lot more minimal and focused more on just tracking things to watch. Perhaps I'll post it if i can find enough time to get it online.
i like this idea. my husband and i are always watching tons of movies and can never keep track.
Thanks! I really want to get it to the point where it can look into your friends lists to generate lists as well.
For instance -- What're my girlfriends favorite movies that I've never seen? Or What are my friends favorite movies of all time (that I have seen or haven't seen)? In the end it's all about keeping track of what you've seen, and helping decide what you should see next though, so it might have Netflix integration so I don't have to reinvent the recommendation wheel either. What movies you'll like is only half the equation though -- the other half is what people you know are actually watching!

http://www.antiqueway.com - antique store listings with a dose of mapping.
The ultimate goal is to have pricing for improved listings (description, couple pics, link to website) and tiered pricing for the listing of antiques that the antique store has for sale. Example of a site doing the former is www.antiquesincanada.com and the latter www.sellingantiques.co.uk/
I think the main challenges here are SEO and pounding the pavement. If you have any thoughts or ideas for improvement, fire away!

About two years ago, me and my partner gave ourself 48h to launch a project. We never touched it since then and the database has more than 1 gig of data by now... I guess there should be something to do with it but we never had the time and/or motivation to touch it again after that.
We still managed to get some coverage (press, tv, etc.) on that so even if it's not something really complicated, I'm still proud of it.

Too bad I didn't see this sooner - it would have made a nice simple way to keep track of the various municipal elections happening across the country at the moment.
If this could be customized for the user's location (or per account) so that the local Toronto/Calgary/Durham/Ottawa/etc election was covered this could gain huge traction.
This is great - maybe you can push it further for the next federal election?

Maybe, we had good coverage but almost no visits. I think Twitter wasn't popular enough two years ago.
But the real problem is that we aren't really motivated by politics so that the real reason why we didn't add any features yet.

At http://blog.marc-seeger.de/ , I'm trying to get a blog based on serious (http://github.com/colszowka/serious) (ruby, sinatra + flat files) up and running. I don't seem to find the time (or muse) to keep doing some improvements such as:
- start adding more CSS and beef up the HTML semantically
- publish some new papers (e.g. my M.Sc. thesis)
- Introduce tags
- Create a cellphone-friendly version by just using CSS3 media queries
------------------
http://fitness.marc-seeger.de/category/joggen (aka: http://github.com/rb2k/run-a-log ) is another side project that works, but could need some polish.

http://www.organizemysearch.com
I developed organizemysearch.com after being tired of keeping tons of car ads and notes all over the place while I was looking for a used car a few years ago. I wanted an application that will let me enter all the data I wanted to keep track of when searching for something (eg. color, miles, make) and later be able to quickly and easily sort through everything so I can compare things based on my priorities.
The idea is to let you compare properties of items you are considering buying across multiple websites. It's a shopping comparison tool
The official definition from the website is this:
"organizemysearch.com helps you organize your searches, keep track of them, and provide you quick tools to sort and display all the information your are considering when making a final decision. In other words it helps you manage searching for information in the real world, regardless of what you are actually searching for."
The project is public but I have been caught up with other projects recently and didn't get around to market it (part of it being that the app falls into the caregory of 'people don't know it's useful until they use it'.

Overall, http://ourdoings.com/ is beautiful once you've uploaded hundreds of photos. But there are still ugly parts: I'm still not 100% satisfied with the registration page.

Make it easy for someone with an opinion on an issue to type in their analysis and share it to Facebook (with a "more" link back to your site). Recently I've had several conversations about voting behavior, I think many people vote mostly based on advice from their friends. Maybe you can help the politically minded friends share their issues and in the process build a community for them.
Took me a while, but I have that implemented! Thanks for the great suggestion.

It's a little app that lets you find Imdb scores and release years for movies: you type a list of titles in a textbox and it responds with info that you can then export as .csv
It's in the form of a Chrome extension for now (because I want it to be a Chrome app as soon as possible) that you have to use on a specific page.
The extension is here:
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/bjkkhgcacicbgbkn...
The page you use it from is here:
http://moviemagic.adgent.com/
I built it for a friend that has a big collection of movies on disks, that he has yet to watch, and who wanted to know which movies were worth his time.
It still needs a lot of work, but I lack motivation to improve it since I don't watch many movies myself and the friend I built it for found it met his needs as is.
But if anyone is interested I could go back to it.

Yeah, including a bugfix for it to work on Chrome in Linux. I choose a game, submit, then get a blank page with just the header.
Thank you for the feedback. It's worth noting that if you don't have flash, it won't work. It currently relies on flash for persistent socket connections. I'm working on getting it working with websockets.
But it should work on chrme, which is also my browser of choice.

Interesting, I do have flash block, but disabled it for your site. I still didn't get anything, but perhaps flashblock is still at fault.
Oh, and it's written entirely in Erlang (runs on the Nitrogen Web Framework), except for a bit of javascript.
Achieve.ly. I had a few people interested in using it but I took a contracting position and had to stop working on it. I have a few people waiting to use it too. I'm probably just going to open it up publicly to let the handful of people use it.
I'm also working on some client/server stuff for automated web deployments.

You could play videos and keep searching while the video played, make and share playlists, etc. It stopped working when YouTube started muting copyright songs and then made some tweaks to their API and now there are dozens of similar sites so never had any real drive to fix it.
That was 3 years ago. It was one of my first php and ajaxy projects and is a bit dreadful code wise. It wouldn't have taken anytime to improve it and who knows, if I had kept it in running order it might have done something.
As it is, I think I made about ten bucks in Adwords and Amazon affiliate money...

Murphy on Luxury: http://murphyonluxury.com. Seeking to emulate the success of email newsletter verticals like DailyCandy & Thrillist, but with a refined editorial tone and a focus on luxury travel (news/reviews of resorts, hotels, spas, first class/private aviation, etc). High CPMs for this sort of audience (that's the goal at least), and it's a topic I love.
I've focused most of the design on the email templates so far, so the website remains very alpha.

It's a two player, turn based, web strategy game. It's like Stratego, but with bunnies instead of soldiers, and fog of war instead of not being able to see what a piece is. It's my first AppEngine app, so a lot of it was just learning to use the Data Store, which is quite different from the RDBMSs that I'm used to.

Khoi Vinh (http://subtraction.com) and I made something called Shorty (http://get-shorty.com). It was the first URL shortener you could install on your own server.
I built Shorty in high school. It's absolutely dreadful code; hopefully I'll rewrite it sometime after I graduate college.
Last Christmas I built a webapp that displays my iTunes music library. I can't show it to you though, because then you'd max my home's bandwidth.

A service that has no backend (no server calls, DB, 'scary' stuff to consumers) that lets you back up your tweets on your own terms. Basically gives you ownership of things you write, without relying on any third party to access, store, or send you your own writing.

Not only that, but to make the site successful I need to promote it to the sky.
I expect to chip away at some of those issues over the next year or so.

A web app that handles two-factor authentication systems for web sites that want to add it. Let's you use an API to generate a password that gets SMS'ed or voice called to your user, then let's you validate what they typed.
I figured if Google, Facebook, and Chase banks have them, then many other sites will want them too. And they don't want (or know how) to do it themselves. Tough to market though.

This is cool - and kids will love it. I don't get the "50%" thing though - why complicate this any further?! I mean I know I'm FARRRR far far from being the target market here - but it just seems to make no sense to me and doesn't add anything to the usefulness of the program.
We were thinking about omitting the actual percentages and just telling them that any four of those possibilities will happen. So far we haven't gotten any traction, but we haven't spent much time marketing it because we have been working on another more exciting project that will probably be ready for launch by next week.
