Content Management Projects
http://www.solidstategroup.com/what-we-think/top-5-issues-for-content-management-projects
Over the years I've been involved in hundreds of website projects, most of which have been built on some sort of content management system. I’ve used open source software, proprietary software and a fair number of custom built CMS’. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, but overall CM projects tend to suffer in the same areas.
Multify – Open source spotify client with face recognition
https://github.com/jackbillstrom/multify
Please help me with my endless project I've been working with. I started this project in August 2013 without knowing any Python at all.

This project is a facial-recognition based stereo which grabs your Facebook friends profile pictures and play songs depending on the recognized faces mutual taste. As you can see in the code, I pretty much suck at commenting and structure. My goal was that I could make this software become a reality. I have some more code on a raspberry pi somewhere which I will try to upload if it's any use.

The pretty much TODO in my repo is the connection to make the spotify-client to search for each song, then play the next one after the other. For now I have function which actually creates this playlist.

I would like to get some feedback on my idea and also some python-nerds to help me on this whole project. It's actually pretty small project and could be easily done with one python-script.

Database duo deliver Windows Phone 7 apps storage
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/30/windows_phone_7_database/
A tiny database duo are promising what mighty Microsoft won't deliver with the first Windows Phone 7 - an on-phone database for non-Microsoft applications.

McObject will support its object-oriented Perst .NET open-source database on Windows Phone 7 after Perst was ported and offered as a product by enterprising consultant APPA Mundi.

The presence of a local database on Windows Phone 7 means applications written by anyone other than Microsoft now have access to local storage, search and retrieval.

While Windows Phone 7 will ship from Microsoft in October with SQL Server Compact Edition, it will only be for use by applications built by Microsoft rather than third parties, as APIs for Microsoft's miniature database will not be exposed to outsiders...

Show HN: Blockchain note that can be edited by anyone but only once an hour
https://blockchainnote.live/
It's an art you create with your words that will be unchangeable by no entity in the known universe
for the next one hour.

Lot of people asked why I used blockchain for this:

using a server to show notes has it's own drawbacks,

mainly, the person who has access to the server can manipulate what notes to be shown. Or if the server's bandwidth is slow, people from other country will have hard time reading/changing the note. or if the server's network is banned in certain countries like north korea/china people from that country cannot read thenote

as the note is stored in a smart contract on the blockchain, no one can change it for 1 hour and anyone on earth can read/change it without any third party interference.

I'd love any feedback you have and if you think of anything it doesn't have that it should, I'd love to hear that too.
Ask HN: How do you get the first businesses on your marketplace?
How a site like AirBnB or Foodzie or Etsy get the first 10000 listings? Now they are well know sites, but in the beginning, the first year...

-by phone, email, letters...?
-which kind of profile the person who contacts them needs to have?

Feel free to add anything to enrich this question and share your war stories.

Show HN: WordCrossing – A Scrabblesque Maze Game
https://wordcrossing.com/
Hey HN, WordCrossing is a little game I made last week where you place words on a board to form a path connecting the start and end squares.

I was kind of surprised that even for a game of this scope, there was still a fair bit of complexity writing a map generator/solver; which overall, made it a really fun project. I know there's still a fair way for it to go, so I'd love any feedback you guys had to offer.

Show HN: Coma – Easily search and access joined subreddits and multis
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/coma-reddit-communities-l/mfcncoaopldccamchpecobpbjpgaffan
Coma is a simple Chrome extension I made to easily access my subscribed subreddits since it's the social network I spend the most time on and sometimes I want to go to a specific subreddit (like /r/OnePiece or /r/baseball) and it gets annoying having to go the main site and search for the sub or writing the whole url.

I've been using it for a while and I thought it would be useful for other redditors like me.

The 25 Most Notable Quotes in Tech History
http://guywhosteals.blogspot.com/2010/12/25-most-notable-quotes-in-tech-history.html
It’s not love, war, or baseball. But over the years some memorable things have been said about technology. Some have been memorably eloquent; others are unforgettably shortsighted, wrongheaded, or just plain weird. Let’s celebrate them, shall we?

A few ground rules for the list that follows: I considered only statements attributable to a specific individual, which ruled out most ad slogans (“Think Different”) and many durable Internet memes (“You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike”). I did, however, include individuals who happened to be fictional, or canine, or inanimate. I also let a couple of quotes slip in that are not strictly speaking about technology, though neither would exist without it–one from 1876, and one from earlier this decade. Sue me.

It’s hard to rank quotes by how notable they are. So I faked it by listing them using an imprecise, unscientific factor I call Googleosity: the number of results Google reports that reference (or riff upon) each quote. (You may quibble with the queries I performed to determine Googleosity, but I tried my best.) Googleosity tends to reward quotes that are not only famous but fun–they’re the ones that people like to allude to, to parody, and to generally weave into blog posts and other online conversation.

We’ll start with the quote with the lowest Googleosity factor, and work our way up from there.

I would also be interested in experiences installing other linux distros on a Z Series Vaio.

Managing household assets and services like a pro
http://lightarrow.com/lifetopix/the-12-lifetopix/home-assets
Keep­ing track of what you own is a very wise idea. Whether your desire is to be fully pre­pared for insur­ance rea­sons, or to gain an accu­rate under­stand­ing of your over­all finan­cial sit­u­a­tion, you need to know what you own and what it’s worth. But man­ag­ing all this infor­ma­tion can be very time-consuming — unless you have Life­Topix Home + Assets. It lets you track all the impor­tant infor­ma­tion you want to track for your assets, includ­ing acqui­si­tion date and price, ven­dor, ser­ial num­ber or vehi­cle iden­ti­fi­ca­tion num­ber, man­u­fac­turer, model num­ber, and SKU. It even has a touch­point into Life­Topix Peo­ple + Ser­vices so you can main­tain war­ranty and insur­ance infor­ma­tion for your assets. The result is a bet­ter under­stand­ing of all your possessions.

Tech Companies Tackling Electronic Medical Records
http://betakit.com/2012/07/07/tech-companies-tackling-electronic-health-records
With nearly every aspect of life gone digital, it is perhaps odd that the healthcare system has been slow to follow suit. A study by the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that only 1.5 percent of hospitals surveyed had a comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) system in place, suggesting many health care facilities are still heavily relying on paper-based system.

Show HN: RSS Feeds in Notion.so
https://github.com/Jeadie/notion-rss
I recently built a tool to manage and store RSS Feeds in Notion.
The only problem is that it doesn't auto save the HTML into notion page (this would required parsing HTML into Notion objects). I started on this with [html2notion](https://github.com/Jeadie/html2notion), but it turned out to be alot of work.

With Notion already having a [Notion web clipper](https://www.notion.so/web-clipper), I was wondering if it was worth implementing? Personally I read a small fraction of the blog posts from my RSS feed, and I like the spare page to take notes. For me, notion-rss solves the one core problem I have, acquiring and filtering high quality RSS feeds. What does HN think?
Yahoo to close down Geocities
http://techcombo.com/yahoo-to-close-down-geocities
Yahoo have publicly announced that it will shut down Geocities service in the Summer, which it paid a staggering $4 billion for over a decade ago. However, Yahoo urge geocities customers to move to another free service, “Yahoo! Web Hosting.”

Comscore Media Metrix reports suggest when Geocities was first bought by Yahoo in 1999, was the 3rd biggest site behind AOL and Yahoo. The report showed that in the month of December it recieved over 19 million unique visitors, which is really quite amazing. As times have moved on, Geocities has been surpassed by many other hosting sites such as Godaddy, though hosting costs dropped, Geocities could only draw attention to 177 milion visitors in 2008, way below par...

Phunction 2.6.2 - PHP 5.2+ HMVC framework
https://github.com/alixaxel/phunction
Does anyone here use phunction as their PHP framework of choice? Or at least have tried it and be willing to share their opinion?

I just found phunction recently myself and I'm planning to use it in my future projects. I have no experience in any other frameworks, but I've read the documentation of some (mainly CodeIgniter and Laravel), and I'm still leaning towards Phunction being the simplest (lacks documentation though), and most powerful relative to the size of the framework.

If anyone agrees or disagrees, I'd love to hear your opinion and reasoning. Thanks!

Innovating Under a Deadline – How?
For those of you working as engineers, scientists or developers: how do you reconcile the time-indeterminate process of creative discovery versus the deadline-driven nature of business?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from anyone who is responsible for inventing new and non-trivial things at their company, while meeting growth targets, investor expectations, etc. I find it hard to determine how long it will take to design and create something that literally doesn’t exist.

I work in a technical leadership roll at a startup where I’m responsible for inventing and scaling our tech (in both soft and hardware). Commitments to customers and investors are made by others, and we’re always struggling to innovate and deliver reliable tech in time.

Keep your Gists in sync with your code
https://github.com/abawany/github-gist-synchronization
Gist is a facility provided by GitHub to store sample code segments in GitHub and then show them on your site. One use of this facility is for building technology tutorials: the host site can contain Gist links that show the relevant samples of code; when the Gist link changes, all of the referring sites automatically show the updated code. This solution allows a developer to annotate code segments from his/her existing code base and then run our tool to extract these segments and update the Gists. This ensures that the Gists are always in sync with actual working code and that the developer only has to update the code in one location to keep all of their tutorials up to date.
