Im mostly interested right now in python web apps and node.js type projects. A couple things I whipped up recently:

  whosreppin.me : A site to connect voters with their local reps (django)

  hckrn.ws : A mini hacker news targeted for mobile devices (node.js / couchdb)

Is that what you were looking for?

View on HN

Yes, exactly!

What drew you to these projects?

hckrn.ws was a class project that I used for getting my hands dirty in some server side js + nosql technologies so it was an opportunity to kill those 2 birds w/ one stone.

whosreppin.me was built for an NPR KQED iPad hackathon event. So it was super simple and streamlined and I used a more familiar set of technologiess (postgres, django) in order to mash something up in a weekend. The neat part is that whosreppin.me shared 1st place w/ one other team.

DEBUG is set to TRUE on whosreppin.me...you might wanna change that

thanks for mentioning! fixed.
