We built one that gives movie/tv show suggestions with every new tab. There's a link to buy that movie on Amazon which uses our affiliate code. Here is the extension: http://goo.gl/eiYqco
It was published last month and two purchases were made through our Affiliate code, so I would say about $5/month
The game is played on a single board shared between 2 players who take turns to play. The score of a player is computed by the number on the tiles that the player merges when playing his turn. The game ends when there are no moves remaining or someone reaches the 2048 tile. At this point, the player with the highest score wins the game.
Shyahi (http://shyahi.com) - Your Social Homepage. Its like about.me with extended information about social profiles beautifully summarized on your profile.
Its free, easy to set up and pulls in your stats directly from Dribbble, Github, Stackoverflow, Twitter and your blog feed which means that your Shyahi profile is always up to date. This is something that's really cool about Shyahi, you set it up once and then its automatically updated based on your social activity. It provides the most precise and relevant information to your audience at one central online location. And its bootstrapped and made by two people.
The only services with my payment information are Heroku and Amazon. On Heroku, the first dyno is completely free and it doesn't increase the number of dynos automatically. But when you have heavy traffic, you can easily scale the number of dynos.
Amazon does charge automatically and doesn't have a limit on the maximum amount I want to spend, so there is a risk there. But then, its not too expensive even if I get a lot of traffic.
zoho.com looks nice. But it only gives 20 accounts on the free tier. Windows live domains, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have a limit on the number of accounts.
You can get a VM cheaply, but then you have to manage everything yourself. I don't have a lot of experience in this field and would be completely lost if something suddenly goes down or I need to scale. With Heroku and MongoHQ, you don't have to worry about these things anymore and its really easy to set up. And for someone like me who would need several hours in setting up everything on my own server, even the paid plans don't sound too expensive.
Mobile Development with Objective-C (for iOS) and Java (for Android). Objective-C has already been mentioned, so I vote for Java. I know I am inviting rants writing Java here, but using Java for Android app development is a lot of fun.
Thanks for the tip. I also added a check now to show only the users with a custom profile image in recent members list and it indeed looks much better now. Thanks again.
It all started as a discussion with my co-founder Sapan. We wanted a way to highlight our activity on StackOverflow, Github, Twitter and our blog posts while looking for jobs but couldn't find a good way to list them on our resumes or on our LinkedIn profiles. Even if we list them there, there is no way I could update it every time I do something on these sites. That's when we decided to build Shyahi.
Shyahi is a new way to build a profile to showcase your developer contributions and social activity. Its free, easy to set up and pulls in stats directly from Dribbble, Github, Stackoverflow, Twitter and your blog feed which means that the Shyahi profile is always up to date.
Thanks. Before diving into more services, we wanted to first get some thoughts and comments on Shyahi and the overall idea. The reason that we didn't include more stats for Github was that it required OAuth and we wanted to keep it simple for the first version. We will be adding some more services soon.
The name is Hindi translation for Ink. Sorry for the bug, we just rolled out some updates and it should be fixed now. Let me know if you still face some issues.
